most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ?
I think it is a very clear and direct question, "What is best". I recall a famous quote in answering that question, " TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU AND TO HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THIER WOMEN". I think that was either Conan the ... 
Hyperion hps-968 vs Verity Audio Parsifal Encore
I absolutely love my Parsifal Encores. I have recently looked at upgrading, auditioning speakers in the 15,000-25,000 range and came away with the feeling that I like my parsifal encores more than what I heard. I have upgraded them to the aluminum... 
Review: Audio Desk Systems Vinyl Cleaner Tweak
Great review. I have an Audio Desk Systeme RCM and love it. I did have a mechanical and the dealer and manufacturer did repairs very quickly, handled all costs except return to the US dealer and were very supportive and quick with communication. I... 
Audience PowerChord e or se
I had my power chord e's upgraded to SE as well as my AU24e RCA interconnects. Well worth the money but I did not test them separately, upgraded all at the same time. Much better fine detail, bass better defined and more present. I really liked th...

Oh, I am just chuckling at us all. We are all so worried that we are doing it right we fail to enjoy the experience. There is very little I take offense to at all. I think it's good to laugh at ourselves. "High End Audio" really does not make sens...

33.3 is now superior to 45
I looked at this post again after looking hard again at getting into digital download and computer audio. The final verdict, I'm done. I look at some of the on line retailers pushing digital download and DSD, it's all the same titles they were pus... 
Dynaudio Confidence Platinum
The change is cosmetic only. I think that there will be more options in veneers available in gloss finish but the speakers are the same as the MkII's/Signatures. 
Help with buying used Sonus Faber Cremona m
Caune11, try Magnolia hifi, part of BestBuy, for close out pair. They are likely trying to get rid of their Cremona's to make way for the Olympica. 
Chuck Mangione - Feels so Good
Yeah, I have a pretty good collection of Chuck Mangione, some non-released vinyl and some very old stuff too. Nice guy, nice family. I listen to him often. Last time I met him was about 30 years ago, I still picture this youngish ball of energy an...

HaHa, just got back from Christmas shopping. Looks like Santa got me a mint Mobile Fidelity Rolling Stones box set ( the price was very very good ), to go with my entire collection of english pressings, that I play instead of the US issues I also ...
