A tubes vs. Solid State question.
Atmasphere "the reason I prefer tubes is that they lack coloration- and by that I mean they lack odd-odered harmonics" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about the even order harmonics that tube amps have!! Some with a massive second harmonic, giving the ex... 
Did I make a mistake buying Krell?
Back in 1997, I auditioned the Krell KAV 300 for my first amp. Ear bleeding is not my cup of tea. It could impress some but it did not impress me. They make better amps now, but I'm still allergic to Krell since that first encouter. 
Beware Sony CDs on your PCs
I buy my CD's. I pay full price.In the last years I didnt bought any Sony or EMI CD's because of their idiot "Copy Protected Content". The sound is worse, and sometimes the transports do not read them. A friend of mine had for a home audition a Pl... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Matrix, not the Wilsons. It's their handicap. 
Should I Upgrade Krell KAV 250P to KRC3?
Lingenfelter if you are not happy with your Krell, you are going to buy another one. Try a different direction.Heard the new Krell EVO combo this weekend, and IMHO it's not worth the money they are asking for it. 
Kimber Select 1130 vs Nordost Red Dawn
I have the Kimber Select 1021, and heard the red dawns in my house. In one setence: Dont buy the Red Dawns.Just my opinion. 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
I dont want to talk about personal tastes, but if one buys a speaker that cost more than a car the thought "the goal is to enjoy the music" sounds ludicrous.For that price I want state of the art not a compromise. I want more, I want the real thin... 
Audio Physics Avanti 3 Vs. Joseph RM33si
As said above the AP Avanti III are great speakers. I've heard them numerous times, and my opinion goes with the rest of the posts: very detailed, transparent, uncoloured, high bandwith, dynamic and the imaging is fabulous.Never heard the Joseph A... 
DarTZeel Preamp
As I've said in another thread I've only heard the Dartzeel in few ocasions with Sonus Faber Amati, and my opinion is similar to what bmelehu wrote "soft, smooth, dynamically compressed solid state amplifier". I could had the adjectif coloured.Was... 
accuphase vs dartzeel
Dazzdax you can read the stereophile review for the Dartzeel, and most important, read the measurements made by John Atkinson.I've heard the Dartzeel in few ocasions, so I cant give you an extended opinion, but one thing I can assure you - You wil... 
In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell?
Never owned a Krell or a Mark Levinson. One thing is certain, I shall never own a Krell. Dont like the sound and dont like the company. IMHO Mark Levinson is a more serious company, with better products. 
Which musician retired too soon?
John Coltrane 
Absorption or diffusion????
I vote on difusion. I'ts effective and easier to accomplish.What do you want? A good spatial image, then your TV should not interfer in the sound field. The problem with absortion is that it affects the character of the aural enviroment, changing ... 
This time the "HYPE" is true: Monk/Coltrane CD.
Nice CD for the 1st of October - Internacional Music Day. 
avalon opus ceramique vs opus
I've recently heard the Avalon opus ceramique, with Ayre amplification, and the sound was great. Everything one could wish. The midrange is fantastic: open, detailed, pure. In the bass department, the one that is troubling you, IMHO there's no nee...
