Good uses for a sound pressure meter?
I use an SPM meter on my boat to test any changes in SPL levels due to modifications in the engine room (i.e. gasketing, shft alignment, valve adjustment, insulation) or deckhouse (i.e. carpeting) that impact sound propogation. The vessel is a dow... 
Vandys 5A Avalon Eidolon Wilson WP7 Aerial 20
The weak dollar and distribution system for Kharma (and other foreign products) are going to make a decent sounding speaker ridiculously overpriced. I second Phil's choice of the Eidolon, does everything right. Tight and tuneful bass with decent e... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Jazzdude, we all await your report on your Cabernet, in particular relative to the Sauvignon. BTW, have you ever had the opportunity to listen to a Grange/Cabernet prior to your order? 
Eggleston Andra or Dunlavy SC-5
With Accuphase and Rowland, you ought to look at Avalon of which the Opus or Eidolon (in particular) would outclass either the Eggleston or Dunleavy. I own the DP-75V and have used the Model 10, within its power envelope, to drive my Avalons with ... 
Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics?
Clive Gregson! Check out the 1995 release People and Places on Compass Records. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Seeking the following information. Thanks for your responses!1. Is there anyone who may have a Cortese (or its equivalent linestage) in the New England area that I could hear?2. I know Mick has recently implemented an upgrade, can anyone comment o... 
Which Of These Three Amp Stands ?
Check out Mapleshade amplifier and equipment stands. I am using their Samson equipment stand with great sucess and their ampstands are just a variant on the Samson design principles. 
Smooth jazz recommendations
Please consider In Lincoln Cathedral by the Ric Sanders Group which is a live acoustic recording from Heliopause Records (Voiceprint Group). The performance is a potpourri of progressive jazz with strong folk, classical and even prog-rock inflence... 
Check this out- Ric Sanders Group
This 2-disc set, with its binaural recorded tracks on the bonus disc, is really a must-own for any audiophiles who indulge in headphone listening. There really is something about this violin-led small combo recording in a magnificent acoustic envi... 
Songs From the Wood mfsl gold any good?
I wonder how the remastered stuff holds up against the MFSL stuff. I think the remastered Moody Blues core-7 albums sound better than their MFSL couterparts. BTW, consider buying The Jethro Tull Christmas Album if you like Songs From the Wood. Gre... 
Accuphase dp75v vs dp67
As a 75V owner, it is my understanding that the DAC technolgy in the DP-85 and DP-75V relative to redbook is identical. As the 85 is still current, it would be untenable for Accuphase to have the 67 sound better than than the 85 which costs consid... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
How about owners in the southeastern New England area (including Boston)? Am interested in taking the Supratek plunge (system is Accuphase and Avalon based). 
Where R U?????
North Kingstown, Rhode Island. I'm sure I am the only one in this state who has Avalon loudspeakers. My boat's name is Eidolon, how sad is that? 
unusual trio?
Ric Sanders Group: Ric Sanders (acoustic violin), Vo Fletcher (acoustic guitar), Michael Gregory (drums, percussion). The group's repertoire is drawn from the work of composers including Chick Corea, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Joe Zawinul, M...
