I fell victim to a scam
I kind of fell victim to the same type of thing. I had someone go look at a high end TV Loewe Articos 55 inch DLP that I was selling. I had bought this from a dealer who still had it at his store. I told this guy he could look at it there and if h...

I have a set of Monster Sigma Retro RCA that are so nuetral that I do not like them. For sale if anyone is interested. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Christmas around 2000 or so I heard a girl sing that I do not even know if I have her name correct but I think it was Denice Graves. she sang a song that I am not sure the name of either, I think it was "Come back Mary and Follow" that left three ... 
trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD
Jim or any one else who would care to comment, what tubes did you go with on the amp change? I noticed in the manual the 6550's were an acceptable replacement. Any opinion on the change to those?Ted 
trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD
Jeff I agree with you, unfortunalty I live in Alabama and there is very little chance to demo any equipment. that is why I started a company that deals in high end equipment of all sorts not just Audio and Video that caters to the southeast. It wi...

I think the reference was to the concertinos and concertos being on sale here. I think a big reason for that is they hold their resale value very well ie... you can make a buck if you find a dealer or a friend selling them below retail or used bel...

I have owned the Concertinos, Concertos, and Grand Pianos Home edition. I now use a First Sound Pre Amp, Cary Amp, Sim Audio Eclipse CD. Most of the time I had all three of these speakers I was between equipment and owned only a Pioneer Elite Reci...

I have to admit. I spent the night listening to a pair of LSI9's that my wife was thinking about putting in her office. the competition is SF Concetos and JM labs 907be's. I would have never even bothered with these speakers, but she liked the glo...

Goatwuss thanks for the input. I am not limited to those, but I guess you could say that I got the green light to put them in our living room which is also our listening room. My wife agrees to let me buy floor standing speakers as long as I meet ...

Jay excellent advise I had not thought of that and I will give it a try today.

Glai you hit the nail on the head although I am finding that I am getting close to the love stage with the JM Labs and it is kind of scary to think about the Divas.Let me ask the question this way of everyone. I know there are different tastes and...

I am not unhappy with the SF at all, quite the contrary actually. I am probably not going to get rid of the SF's but I have the means and the go ahead from the wife to upgrade when I sell a few items that I have, so I might keep both. I also owe t...

Arthur I took a look at your system and was impressed. I purchased the Jolida CD player a little while ago. What is your opinion? I really plan on using it for about 6 months then I plan to go with a BAT tube CD. Do you feel yours is a keeper? I s...

thanks for the response Jay, you are the second person to tell me there is not much difference between the Cremonas and Pianos. I want great performance most of all, but it would be a less than honest answer if I said that the way they looked had ... 
Sonus Faber Cremonas or JM lab Diva
Chris In all honesty I feel the exact same way. I really was a little disappointed with the facts that the JM Labs did not out perform the Grand Pianos in my opinion. I was not disappointed in the JM Labs, I think I was more disappointed in myself...
