About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
PatrickYou really do sound like yourself again. Glad to hear this. Have a great trip in Miami. Out of curiosity what was the great record you were listening to a few threads back. Take careGary Gelfand 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 24/192...Where to from here
I would do a search but it does not appear that they have closed their doors. As I understand it they have been reorganized and bought by someone with substantial resources so that you may not need to sell after all. This is always your least expe... 
Has anyone heard the new Audiopax preamp?
I too was very impressed by the quality of the sound in the audiopax room. It was extremely musical, and the room I most enjoyed spending time in. I think the preamp had a lot to do with it as I have heard the other components before. It was only ... 
CES 2005 Initial impressions...
Thanks for the comments. The MBL had a very interesting sound. Disregarding price, they do have impressive looks that may or may not suit everyone. The sound is interesting in that it changes very little with position. It was quite open with good ... 
Koetsu Jade platinum V Dynavector XV-1s ?
ShaneHaven't had the opportunity to listen to both but have heard great things about the koetsu. There is a very good review of it by roy Gregory, who is generally quite good. If you would like I could send it to you. I am surprised however, I tho... 
Old CRT
I'm not a home theater expert but in our audioclub there are a bunch of ardent videophiles and to them there is no doubt. The picture is not comparable. I have personally had an 18000 runco dlp and my 8500 marquis and the crt was the hands down wi... 
Jazz Piano?
The above are all great suggestions. Bill evans is classic but don't forget oscar peterson. For 'popular' try claude bolling (suite for flute and jazz piano was one of the most popular jazz discs of all time at one point). There are lots more. Enjoy 
Importing used Audio equipment to Canada
I would echo the comments that the duty for gear manufactured in North america is 0 and all you pay is 7% gst. If it is from out of north america the rate varies but is generally 6 to 7%. The other downside is that it is calculated in cad, not usd... 
Review: Atma-Sphere MP-1 Tube preamp
SpringbokA great review, if not technical, then certainly communicating of what you have really felt, just as music should be. At this point I wouldn't do anything else other than listen and enjoy. Forget the vinyl, as we chatted before it is wort... 
CD Cases / Furniture Recommendations?
Another option would be disc soxhttp://www.discsox.com/I have used their system and been able to put hundreds of cds in a single drawer. If you take a look at my system you will see my stand, the one drawers holds all my cds. Hope this is of helpGary 
Music for Passover
This is the first post I recall on something like this. Its a great idea. There has been some great music listed. There is a lot of great passover stuff on lp (Jan Peerce and Richard Tucker were both cantors - and friends of my dads, so we have al... 
musical fidelity nu vista integrated bi-wire?
I am sorry I can't tell you the answer but if you write the company I have found they do answer questions without issue. If you can't find the email drop me a note. There was a chap on audiogon who did biamp and I chatted with him at one point. He... 
Review: Record Research Lab Super Deep Cleaner and Vinyl Wash Tweak
Albert too (in his posts here) put me on to the RR stuff. It is amazing. I have tried various home brews of the local experts, and vpi fluid, and none touches it. I highly recommend it. I find it very useful in my dry climate to use an antistatic ... 
Audiomeca Enkianthus.X DAC...Anagram mkII
I have heard this commented on before and confess I did not appreciate it to a significant extent when I had the original version. In fact other gear which people thought was void of this issue seemed too much in my face, to me. I would add howeve...
