Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
Is this something to do with modern permissiveness? Politely ask her to leave. Otherwise she will never have respect for you. 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
Dear Abby, I've a pair of mail order brides, M30.1s, arriving tomorrow though we've never met I'm hoping for bliss. I hope for a relationship where I don't have to shave or dress up and they will still serve their best. Yours truly, Highhopes 
Spendor Classic 1/2
I'm interested in these also.Reading past the obligatory kind remarks that every reviewer makes he admits the bass was overwhelming and he shoved socks in the ports plus "dynamics are not top drawer". With this being the only review to be found I'... 
Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s (
When I was auditioning speakers for the desk a pair of active Adams F7 s and a PSAudio NuWave dac combo blew me away. In the end I decided to go without all the equipment. Adams doesn't make the F7 any more their pro A7X would be even better. 
Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s (
I really like the original Vanatoos for desktop, haven't heard the latest one. The originals can be found on ebay occasionally. 
Tube dampers?
I was using some NO$ Amperex HOlland and American version 7308's but have recently switched to NOS Russian with Herbies HAL-0 9s. In my system I prefer the latter, better extension and presence than the Amperex. I wish I had tried this before spen... 
Amplifier suggestions for Von Schweikert VR4 JR
From everything I've read and heard these work well with many different amps. I'm using a BAT VK-300x 6922 version with mine. It has a nice balance from top to bottom with excellent bass control. The early 70's Amperex from Holland are the icing o... 
The last 5 ?????
I enjoy bathing in the sound of my system, it washes the numbers from my head and that's why I'm drawn to this hobby. I'm sorry if this sounds condescending but I don't understand why so many are hung up on quantifiing pleasure. 
Spade on spade or banana and spade?
Gunbei, From now on I'll never be able to think of biwiring in the same way. Damn! 
Best Grateful Dead recording?
Can't say its the best but I like "Reckoning" recorded live at the Warfield Theater, San Francisco Sept. and Oct. 1980. 
Add another sub or go with F30's?
Sugarbrie, that's what David at Ambrosia said to me a year ago. He suggested the Stadium but I went with the Strata. Not that the Strata isn't a great sub, I still haven't maximised it's virtues and I think I will work on that until I can afford t... 
Add another sub or go with F30's?
Steven: I'll look at the B15. Anyone have experience with using this with 383 and M20 combo?Sugarbrie: I never could find a consensus on whether to use 2 Strata or 1 Stadium. The answer is probably system dependent.Moemoney: I forgot to mention th... 
CDP Drawer problem
You might try powering down or unplugging the unit so that the drawer moves freely then hold drawer in while powering up. Hope this helps. 
Recommend a good Monitor for my existing system
I think the Revel M20 should be on your list also. Excellent midrange, used price is close to what you want to spend and they are a great value. Stereophile has a review online.
