Would sand help my amp?
Hi RL, I think you would be very disappointed with the results. It might make for a very dull sounding system. I am a huge believer in some of the better audio racks and platforms. I have come to the opinion that a good rack/shelf is as important ... 
OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything?
IMO, Tubegroover and Twl opinions are right on. Must use common since in speaker choice, but you may be amazed at how many speaker options are open to you. Take a listen, you may never want to hear another SS amp again. 
This Sistrum stuff works
Sean, thanks so much for this invalueable information which serves you well. I think you are also partially wrong. Your anology escapes me. Not throwing stones. No need to worry, I will no longer respond to this thread.Twl, i apologize if i have t...

Tom, I agree, let the music be heard. But to be heard, I guess you got to let the music be heard. I see some do not agree with this novel idea.Sean, I have not thrown a stone at you with any attempt to harm. An opinion means little to me if one ha... 
What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.
Excuse me while i kiss the sky. Read for yourself in his song book.

Thanks Tireguy,Maybe a different sounding ring, but a welcome ring just the same.Judit, I think we have come to an agreement. I agree, in fact my point has been as you said "I am only paying attention to what is going on between my ears". I don't ... 
This Sistrum stuff works
Judit, I think you are missing my point. To make an opinion on what tastes best, shouldn't one take a taste first before declaring which is best? Or maybe one should look at the recipe without tasting and decide which tastes best. Have I missed yo... 
Strangest Tweak?
There is only one way to find out. You have to give it a try. You can read all the manufactuers scientific methods (or BS) on why their's is the best. It won't tell you a darn thing on how it sounds. To think that some people actually swallow this...

Hi Judit, What ever works is all that matters. Please forgive me if i disagree with your side by side bake-off theory. How else would you know what tastes best?

ksales and Twl, Point taken. I never like to get into arguments with the Audiogon members. My remarks were rather harsh. Sean, I apologize for not being a bit more diplomatic. You have been an excellent source of information to many. I am very sor...

Sean, Once again it seems you have given an opinion on some scientific information that you have read than have experienced. Have you listened to a Neuance shelf compared to the Grand Prix? Have you ever listened to the Sistrum products? Have you ... 
Looking for speaker choice advice.....
Hi B2sc, The larger Vandersteens, Maggies 3.6 are excellent speakers. Both should do fine in your room. IMO, the maggies seem to do their best with big amps. I have owned the Coincident SE and the TE. If you can find a deal on the TE, I think it w... 
60's/70's Talking/Singing Story Ballads
Got to go with Theduke too, I was just a little kid but my Dad played Marty Robbins all the time. How about Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire? Patti Page's Tennessee Waltz.Dylan's Ballad of Hollis Brown and Boots of Spanish leather. 
Warm and Wet cables?
Hi Nik, you may be a cable, an isolation rack, or an amp away from getting what you are looking for. Your amp and preamp are well regarded. Maybe a change in amps is all that is needed. Some of your favorite performers may not have the best record... 
This Sistrum stuff works
I have been talking about Sistrum a little too much. I thought it best to to back off for a time. It seems when you find something that's so good as the Sistrum, you want to let others know. You keep talking too much and then you are accused as be...
