| Paging Stanwal-Any update on the Metrum Octave Unfortunately, you almost have to rely upon reviews to some degree, since its impossible to audition most audio products before buying these days - unless it's sold at BestBuy. However, I distrust most "critic" reviews I read and prefer individual... | |
| Best tube preamp ever I will have my VAC until it dies and when it dies, I will get another. | |
| RE: Internet Media Tuner with Ethernet over Power would welcome comments on Ethernet over power vs. wireless.Too many variables for there to be a conclusive answer as to which is best. It depends on each homes level of interference in the A/C wiring vs. the wireless environment. I've tried both ... | |
| Magnum Dynalab MD809T For internet radio and its inherent signal limitations, it seems like just getting a Squeezebox, which has a relatively easy interface and a lots of control options, and then running the signal into a DAC of your choice would be a much more flexib... | |
| Sonos surprise Why, then would one want to put a reclocker in the chain before a component which does the same function? Possibly because he sells reclockers? | |
| Why CD players will never be dead The CD will remain as a niche industry, like vinyl has, but will effectively die as a mass media. The reason is simple...money. The record companies have to be salivating at the thought of cutting CD production and distribution costs from their pr... | |
| Music server I've had a Vortexbox Appliance (VBA) for a week and it's pretty sweet. The VBA will rip, tag and download the album art for each CD. It's optimized to work with Logitech Media Server (LMS), so its ideal to use with Squeezebox players. I have two S... | |

Respectfully, your post comes across as a shill for this product. You have three posts on Audiogon and two are abo... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player Thanks to all for the input. I've seen nothing but raves about the Bryston, and am not averse to going that direction. It's just with the high cost of Hi Rez downloads, I'm simply not certain how far I will go with this. Given this statement, I ce... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super I use the Genelex KT88's in my VAC Auricle Musicblocs and they sound great. I've tried the VAC branded tubes, the Shuaguang Pentas and the SED's and they're all good, but I keep coming back to the Gold Lions. I buy mine from Jim McShane (see Audio... | |
| What preamps outshine the Aesthetix Calypso? VAC preamp's are top shelf, though you will likely have to go used to stay in your budget. But their gear is solid and VAC provides good service to second owners, so I wouldn't hesitate. I picked up my VAC gear here on Audiogon and it has been roc... | |
| Martin Logan Dynamo 1000/ SWT-1 Wireless Thanks. I use my Dynamos in a music only system. However, I am considering adding a Dynamo to my HT only system, which currently includes a single Martin Logan Depthi. It's in a big room and I believe I would benefit from another sub in that room ... | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time I'm now four years with my Merlin MMe's and still love them. They are excellent performers and I've identified no shortcoming's or reasons to upgrade at this point. | |
| What time do you wear? I would suggest that you join the Omega forum over at Watchuseek and post pictures of the watch when you get it back, along with any estimate that that me be included with the return from Omega. Knowledgeable folks there can give you some advice i... | |
