Amazing Solo Piano Recordings
The pianist is Francesco Napoleoni. Very nice performance, would have sounded even better if it had been played not on an electric piano but on a Steinway Grand.Thanks Mapman for awakening my curiosity..... 
Replacement for my Beveridge RM-1 and MD D-75?
I just found yesterday three of the op amps which I think were used in the PS of the RM-1. Should anyone need those in this thread, please drop me a line though A. They are NOS, never used and are marked: M9152 as well as LM12 CLK.Ain't selling, j... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I tend to agree with Koplo above. A good setup, though always sounding subtly different, compared to a good vinyl setup, sometimes even betters it in subjective listening tests, EXCEPT for big orchestral classical music. Redbook, in what ever way ... 
power problems at house, impact and thoughts

Anti-Cable Power Cables
I use his cables (not power) in my secondary system (Quads, Jadis, Atma pre) The sound is excellent. Paul does not sell snake oil. I would suppose, that his PCs are just as good and as well thought out as the rest of his offerings. 
Capturing the MUSIC; a furtive cause? What R We...
Dear Greg, didn't realize you were still around, saw your post about snake oil and wires. I still think your questions above are valid and I must say, that I still like my response. Sad, that it was all squashed and shut up by drab common sense.Co... 
Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic.
This may sound crazy, but to my experience often enough the termination of the cables, the solder joints and the quality thereof make a tremendous difference to the way the electrons are transported, to wit, the quality of sound. (transparency as ... 
Considering Beveridge, your opinion please.
What music do you mostly listen to ?I am asking, because I feel you should also take the Quad 68 for about the same price into consideration. Less complex and less finicky than the B and with a midrange impossible to beat unless you invest in the ...
