Will there be stereos in Heaven? Cables?
Egad! I just realized that a lot of High End interconnects and cables are named after serpents! Does that mean we're limited to Blue Heavens?!! 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
I'm going to venture out on a limb here and agree with everyone. Now, before you hit me over the head let me qualify that statement. I think it is really all about what turns you on and off and how the whole system blends together. Just as some ha... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Dekay: Santana 1972 concert was in the Diamond Head crater and played on the main stage. The infamous Crater Celebrations! These were the "Hawaiian Woodstocks" so to speak. Really unbelievable events! I was there too and from what I can remember i... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Great posts and now I feel really old! As disco began to dominate the airwaves and rock began to fizzle I began to gravitate towards jazz fusion. I'm afraid that most of my rock concerts date back to the cretaceous period. The Tubes at Bimbos in S... 
Inner Sound Eros Experiences
It really boils down to perspective where one mans dream is another mans lunch. In my opinion, ESL's tend to be highly room dependant to a far greater degree that box speakers loaded with dynamic drivers. Even if you have a great room, set up and ... 
Re-Tubing A Sonic Frontiers Pre Amp
Thank you for the advise! Can anyone explain why only the two back tubes are replaced with the NOS tubes instead of all 12 of them? Thanks in advance; -Jerie

Eight months ago I purchased a Monster Cable HTS 5000 originally for our emerging home theater system. Since the HT system was "under construction" at that point in time I placed the HTS 5000 into the chain of our high end system in the living roo... 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Surfing! Growing up in Hawaii I started surfing when I was around 8-9. I've been surfing for over 30 years now and have no intention of ever stopping. My love for the sport is the main reason I live where I do. I've got 6 different boards and on a... 
Apogee Stage: Midrange Magic?
I lived with a pair of Stages for almost 10 years. In all of that time and up to today I have NEVER heard a loudspeaker that could best the midrange of the Stages. The Stages are magic =period=. That doesn't mean that they were the best speaker ev... 
What CD is your System Reference
Kiss My Axe, Al Dimeola is my personal favorite. 
cables for martin logan prodigies
SHWANG!!! Alright, I'm jealous! I've heard this exact set-up with the Nordost SPM speaker cables and it sounded fantastic. Another cable worthy of your system would be the Kimber Bi-Focal-XL. Between these two I would go with the Kimber Bi-Focal-X... 
Upgrade Time Again.... please help
Wait! Here's one last recommendation! I own both Rowland and Classe products and it's hard for me to imagine you going wrong with either. The Classe CAM-350 MONAURAL amps have the guts and glory to drive your impedance loads with sweetness and aut... 
SS vs Tube: What do you hear?
Tubes bring a sweet liquidity to the presentation that solid state just can't match. I agree with [email protected]. I love a tube front end with solid state amplification. I really like Classe and Rowland amps. I think The Audio Critic does his b... 
Why Is Krell the a bad work???
Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Good Question with a surpassingly long thread of equally entertaining answers! It just goes to show that we are all up to the challenge! We're all more than willing to contribute in every and any way we can. With thi...

Rowland gear delivers musicality with a speed and grace equaled by very few product offerings. The older amps tend to have a warmer, more liquid presentation than the newer ones in my opinion. I have a pair of upgraded Model 1 amps that I use brid...
