| Best Integrated, period. Has anyone heard the Constellation Audio-Argo? | |
| Great Organists in Rock Chayro-Your spot on!!! Floyd Sneed was also a world class musician that gets overlooked by many. I was too young at the time to appreciate the talent and diversity of Three Dog Night. I have recently delved into the discography and realize they ar... | |

| Who do you credit for your love of mucic? I would have to give my mother the most credit. With Sinatra-Bennett-Mathis-Warwick and various classical and show tunes being played helped create a diverse interest in music. Even with my ear glued to "THE BIG 8" I understood there were other fo... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? HiDiamond Cables are definitely NOT in the "yawn category". I have tried several power cords and the P3 is clearly one of the best values in all of HEA. Other then a dedicated line this is the best $750(2/used P3's)I have spent. The time is now fo... | |
| help me build a cheap second system Since your accustomed with great transparency and dynamics(TAD) the ATC SCM-19v2 is your speaker. At $4300(retail) it does take up a huge chunk of the $7k limit. There are many used options to keep this around $7K, here are a few. 1-NAD 375BEE/565... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Sounds like the Hales might have a lot in common with Marten Speakers(which I need to demo). | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Prof-THX for the insight. With the cost of current near SOTA speakers newer vintage(10-15 years old) might be worth the risk. Is there any current speaker(s) you would compare the T-5 or T-8 with? | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Prof-Great choices. Have heard Dunlavy and Meadowlark speakers but never Hales. The Hales Transcendence 8 has always been on my "wanted" vintage speaker list due to the rave reviews and build quality. | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? White(mother of pearl) on any Kharma speaker! On more modest speakers the Satin Sycamore on KEF Reference Series is a long time favorite. With budget speakers the Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 in Walnut Veneer is a standout! FWIW have always been a fan o... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Many selections are way to mainstream... Doobie Brothers/Joe Walsh(lol)! Also does the OP want only vinyl releases? | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Sally Rogers-Love Will Guide Us. I doubt more then 20k copies were pressed and it was never released on CD(to my knowledge). | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Chuke076-If you increased your budget to $2500 you must consider(used) the SF Venere 3.0 or Focal 826W. I would give the edge to the SF, because IMO you will get rewarded with future upgrades in electronics. The Focal is more forgiving when regard... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Mapman-Not all tweaks are snake oil. "Always do what your afraid to do".(Emerson) | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Locate the weak link(s) in your system. IMO the cables are the weak link. What power cords are being used? Have not heard Def Techs(any models)in over 10+ years but can only assume these should also be replaced. Selling the Rotel and both speakers... |
