Past or current Green Mountain C-3 owners
It has been so many years since I owned the G.M. C3 and several pair of speakers have passed thru my system. From Klipsch La Scalas, Cornwall 2s, Focal 1008BE and Focal Kanta 2s just to name some of them. I got rid of the G.M.s due to the Mickey M... 
Past or current Green Mountain C-3 owners
Hi I owned a pair several years ago. Please this is only my opinion and you know what the saying is about opinions. I was not happy but the designer is deceased so he is not here to defend his speaker(seemed a nice guy). The adjustment thing I spe... 
Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus
I do not know what the Harbeths sound like in a comparison. But I did get some time listening to the G.A. LS5/9 vs Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphenes in a side by side listening session. The LS5/9 were more involving with music. Not degrading the Pulsa...

I hope you get relief and me as well. I suffer from HyperA-ringing- and loss at 8000hz. I wear hearing aids which help make the sound from my system more transparent. Constantly chasing a rainbow every 6 months my audiologist and I sit down and tw... 
Euro Tumble
The big question is when will we start seeing a drop in the price for gear made in Europe?? Now that the dollar is worth more or is it the Euro is worth less? The gear coming out of out of Europe has taken a big jump in pricing over the last year ... 
Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations.
I have a suggestion but maybe over your price limit unless of course you find a used unit. I am using a Bel Canto E1X int. amp. It has dac, streamer, preamp, headphone amp, phonostage(mm & mc) plus 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms. It removes... 
hearing loss and amp choices
I have read these responses and at least I know I am not alone with a hearing loss problem. Work related over a 38 year period.. For the last 3 plus years I have been using the Phonak bolero with a music setting. My audiologist is the most patient... 
Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer
It was 3 years ago that I noticed an ad listing on his store page here on audiogon. It was for a pair of speakers that I had interest in and they were used. The manufacturer had discontinued that particular line so I thought they were a good deal ... 
Thin, Flexible & Inexpensive Speaker Cables?
I tried Canare 4S11 cable for awhile after trying a Benchmark AHB2 amp. I also used the Benchmark spk. cable(Canare) earlier for an audition. I then read a comment by "Duster" on audioasylum who has since passed away but he was always asked for ca...

I have been using hearing aids for over 3 years now. I am half deaf and half blind as I approach 66 years old. 45 years of noise exposure (used protection as much as possible) and an avid audiophile for almost 50 years. I have just went thru a sit...

I have a 1 meter pair of the Neotech 2001 silver interconnects with the Neotech gold xlrs. I contacted Jeff@Soniccraft and inquired about getting a set of I.Cs. built up. His suggestion was this cable and I had him to build my pair. No affilation ... 
@georgehifi
Thank you to everyone for your responses. After more through investigation on my Arcam A49 int. amp I found the white papers. The G amp produces 200 watt @8ohm then doubles to 400 watts @ 4 ohm. Testing by Stereophile shows approx. 250 watts @8ohm...
