Size matters Smaller that is
I think the room aspect of the equation is the most important one. I have a very big living room and also a small/medium bedroom. I've been listening to some different monitors as well as small floorstanders in both systems. It is amazing how much... 
AK Fest 2009, Analog?
I'm hoping to make it, mostly so I can see Larry Moore face to face to take up the fact that he refuses to honor our agreement on a Musicstream DAC he sold me. He has refused to return any emails or phone calls, so I have no choice but to go see h... 
Economical alternative to Wadia ipod dock?
I think you pretty much summed it up the Wadia and ?. I don't know of any other product that can pull digital out of the ipod short of a few companies that have to mod the actual ipod to get it to work and costs way more. The Wadia is a great prod... 
ordering from Michael Percy Audio
Don't do it. Doesn't sound first rate to me. A week to get an email returned is ridiculous. If it takes a week just to get an email how long do you think it might take to get it shipped? 
Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000
I have had Dynavectors 10x5, 20XL, 17Dmk2 and now XX-2 mk 2. I also owned the Shelter 90x. The Shelter was the best. All these carts are good, but I think the real wow factor starts at the 17D, it has the best treble I've heard, better than any of... 
American made USB DAC's
Be careful dealing with Ultra Fi. I got one of their USB DACs on demo and the owner Larry Moore refused to return it for a refund as agreed, I tried to call and email with no response and was even told by his "brother" when I called that he was in... 
Does anyone own a pair of audioengine a2's ?
They sound pretty good for the size and if you are just looking to get better speakers for your computer they are great. I have mine hooked up to my Imac and they look good too. They sound nice for evaluating online music and such. Anyone who hear... 
Just got an iTouch...
Go with lossless. Even on an Ipod you can hear the difference between lossless and MP3. Hard drive space is cheap and time is valuable. Do it right the first time. 
Anyone do a cassette to digital conversion for me?
I could help you out with that. Sr is right though if you can get them on CD they will probably sound better. I had some old stuff that was out of print and the only way I would get to hear it was via cassette (even used cassettes were getting upw... 
MP3 files to Apple lossless
Re-Rip!!! If you care about sound, Re-Rip. Sometimes when you AB a MP3 vs a lossless file the differences can seem minimal, but there is something about MP3s that kills the desire to listen. Hard to describe but definitely not my imagination. 
Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2
I was more meaning that I can put the speakers where I want. I am hoping it can still look normal and sound good. Sorry Bob, sounds like I struck a nerve. Needless to say I think this room sounds better, a lot better than my dedicated 15x19x9 room... 
Paradisea owners
I like the Paradisea better than the 3500 Wavelength Cosecant. I owned the Cosecant for 2 years and sold it for the Paradisea. 
tube for mhdt Paradisea
I tried 3 different WE 396 tubes that guys were saying sounded so good. I personally like the stock tube best. At first I thought there has got to be something wrong with my 396, but the others I tried sounded basically the same. They slowed thing... 
Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2
Thanks guys for all the responses. 
Before I upgrade my cart from Dyna 20xl to an XX2
I've had the 10x5, 20XL, 17Dmk 2 and now the XX-2mk 2. The XX-2 is way better sounding, period, end of story. The 17D mk 2 is a lot better as well. I don't know how good your phono stage is, but it's possible that you could improve things a lot th...
