If you can find a TEAC PDH-600, grab it. The guys at Esoteric sprinkled some fairly dust on it and it sounds quite nice.All the best,Nonoise 
Voltage Problems in the Caribbean
I don't think anything short of going off the grid will solve your problems. Batteries are probably the only way for you to get consistent power, but that can get expensive.I dread to think how I'd deal with a situation like yours. Best of luck.Al... 
neutrality vs musicality
This has been debated to death numerous times but it still begs the question as there really is no satisfactory answer. All I can add is to enjoy what you have until you can find/afford better, going slow, gaining insight along the way. You'll fin... 
New level of ridiculousness
It's nice to see that gilding the lily is still in vogue for those who see the silk in the sows ear.The 1% have to have something to show for all their toils pushing all that funny money around.All the best,Nonoise 
6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times
Sabai, The clarification I needed was when I needed to know if, say, a speaker would be compatible with an amp. From two separate reviews I'd try to glean what I could and then ask Srajan about it.I've only done that a couple of times and he, like... 
6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times
I find all this ado about the style of writing about as valid (and dismisssive) as the arguments denegrating them, namely, not worth much. Either you like their style or don't. To go on about it probably elicits a smile from the masthead of 6moons... 
is one ear usually stronger?
At least you guys can put the object in the circle. I never could. I have a lazy eye and as a result, I always see two of everything. One eye always dominates and the other eventually shuts down and goes its own way.It's not as bad as when I was y... 
It's All in Your Head
I sense a bit of the cynic and the pragmatic here. Yes, getting lost in the weeds and constantly trying to upgrade can be an end to itself, one of the defining characteristics of addiction. That is not the case here, as I see it.Not of deep pocket... 
is one ear usually stronger?
B-limo, I have an aunt who was a nurse who used to lay my head on her lap on pour in the hydrogen peroxide when I was a kid. It really loosened up the wax in my ears. I do it every couple of months or so and it always 'feels' better but I don't kn... 
It's All in Your Head
I think it's safe to say (for me) that yes, this is a spiritual experience, at least in the level and measure of satisfaction we derive. The hardware aspect is what we fiddle with in order to activate/stimulate the process. We become connoisseurs ... 
Age Limit for Speaker Cables
Mapleshade has a 30 return policy if you don't like what you hear. I, myself, had the original Helix and recently upgraded to the Double Helix and couldn't be happier. A big step up.Good luck in your search as your budget allows you a lot of choic... 
It's All in Your Head
Sabai, Understood. It's just that when I read 'spirtiual' it conjured many aspects of the word and I just simply knocked them down to just a comparison. I tend to go off on tangents and then circle back, sometimes losing myself and others on the w...

I have to remind myself to proofread my posts before posting. My spelling was really off on that last one. 
does your system "warm up" and then sound better?
Mezmo, nice point. I think that the warm up period would be shorter, in the mechanical sense (cones, drivers) but when it comes to cross overs, I guess they'd have to warm up like any other electronic device. Heck, has anyone (hopefully not) consi... 
It's All in Your Head
Yes, that was a great episode. All you could see was here face in bandages and the rest of the hospital staff always had their faces in the shadows, of off camera. In the end, with the reconstructive surgery a failure, she was given to another of ...
