Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Looks like Paul did it again. R.I.P. 
PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review
Anyone shopping for this amp should not take this review seriously. You are running an amp that puts out 38 watts a side to a speaker rated at 89 db. I wouldn't play jazz or something "easy" with this setup and you say you listen to rock and alter...

George: Ok. I will contact you from a computer that does not have comcast as its provider.

Lloydelee21: Thanks. Yes, the OP said the LOWEST speaker sensitivity was 85.5db. I just meant that he/she should explore speakers with a higher sensitivity because frankly, a $1,000 tube amp will generally be a lower output amp. Hygienist: You are... 
Here comes the solar maximum.
After reading the latest issue of National Geographic, I heard people speak of the "Carrington Event" in the deli line in my supermarket, a bar and now here. 
Marten Speakers
I used to own the Miles II and drove them with EAR 890 amp. Wonderful sound. Have you ever heard ceramic drivers? They're found in some of the higher priced speakers but they're also not for everyone. People I have spoken with either love them or ... 
Looking for best $1000 tube power amp

Airport Express clicking sound
Markhyams: I had something similar when I first hooked up my computer. I thought my computer out had too much gain??? I don't know if that's the correct terminology but when I lowered the output volume on the computer to %75, the noises went away.... 
Ads with no picture WTF??
It wasn't broken so it didn't need to be fixed, IMO. 
Your jaw dropping cables
I posted something last night but apparently it didn't take. As Branislav said, "Cables are no different than any other component". Or rooms for that matter. You can put the same system in three different rooms with their own sonic signature and g...
