New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening"
Enjoy !  Its always nice to listen to the music and not the speaker if you know what I mean.   When you stop analyzing and scrutinizing every note and get sucked into the music you are on to something...... 
Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy???
I understand, but if im putting a vintage system together you can be sure the speakers will be worthy of listening to and enjoying. 
Getting Gold Plated Knobs Refinished
Tanury Industries in Lincoln RI....I dont know if they will do small jobs though but you can give them a try.   They do a lot of emblems for car companies and gold plating for jewelry.   
Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
Im going to ripped for this but I've owned many speakers that on paper were "reference", hell some even wore the " Reference" moniker but I was looking for a change and listened to some Heresys, Fortes, Cornwalls......  they were the first speaker... 
Schiit not that Good?
I wish i was in Chicago this week.....  my wife was there for work.  I sometimes attend her functions with her but unfortunately not this weekend.    I've been to a few shows as a vendor,  one year we were between MBL and Steinway/ Lyndorf.....  n...

I tried port plugs on my Revel 106 and it ruined thier bottom end.... congested and definitely not an improvement.

I don't get it either....some of the worst sounding speakers ever made.....there are a few speakers of that era that are worth putting to use, but those? 
Klipsch Heresy Speakers Circa 1976 ...Type HDBR
Should you need to rebuilt or want to upgrade you should check out Crites.... they have all sorts of upgrades for Klipsch speakers.....   I love my Heresys.... rock on.... 
Outstanding service in high-end audio: Anecdotes, please. I'll start with Klaus and Duane
I bought a NAD M51 DAC,  which I love by the way.....  it locked up after a firmware update at less than a month old.   NAD shipped a new unit out the next day to my dealer.    Great support. 
Audio valuations
People just aren't spending on audio in general.  I just sold a pair of Revel bookshelves...  I got about $100 less than they were selling on eBay and other sites.  Given that it was a local, cash sale with no shipping involved , I'd say we were b... 
McIntosh Preamp
A C15 if you can get a good deal.    Or C712. 
Antipodes customer service
I love hearing stories like those.....   makes me really think when it's time to buy something new.   Support is just as important than the product you are using if you ask me.   I am lucky to be able to say just about every component in my system... 
most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box?
Wolf is dead on about the Heresy really singing with quality electronics...I’m running a CJ Classic 2SE pre and a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos and my Heresy III sound awesome with 40 watts of EL34 goodness.   
Grado Labs customer service.
I am absolutely loving my RS2e.   They retrieve details that I’ve never heard before.  I am rediscovering my CD’s and records all over again.  I am driving them with my NAD M51 DAC onto a Massdrop O2 Headphone amp .   I’m blown away by how great t...
