Pwer Cord For BAT Pre-Amp and Muse CD?
Hi Alexc, I just called Steve Bednarski from BAT about a week ago and we discussed tweaking my system. When I brought up power cords he suggested I skip that for now and by Symposium Rollerblocks to put under my transport, dac, and pre-amp first. ... 
First Impression Music Cable Products
Hi Drubin, Yeah I also went to the FIM web-site and found no info- on their cables. So I sent an e-mail to FIM giving them the details on my system and got a message from Winston recommending I start off with a set of their silver power cords for ...

Amps: Bryston vs Electrocompaniet
Hi Rob, It's nice to hear you refer to your wife as your better half. I've never heard the Electrocompaniet but I did recently borrow a friends Bryston (thanks BJ)to break in a pair of Eidolons. My amps are the VK60-mono's and (pre-amp VK50se) I d...

Speakers: all-time favorite
Hi, The Eidolon from Avalon Acoustics! 
Best Preamp under 10K
Hi, To me the Bat 50se is "better sounding" than pre-amps costing over ten grand never mind under. 
Whats a good tube preamp?
Hi T-bone, May I suggest an audition of the Balanced Audio Technology 50se? In my opinion it's a giant killer! I compared the 50se to the ARC Ref 1 in my system, and to my ears the BAT won hands down. I think you should audition the pre-amps in ? ... 
Best Vanishing speakers
Hi, The Eidolon from Avalon Acoustics is amazing at disappearing! 
Dream System. Spectral or Levinson.
Hi 59burst, I'm glad to see you went to hear the systems you have in mind before spending that kind of money. You didn't mention which Avalon speaker, I imagine it must be the Eidolon. If your spending all this cash make sure you get help in treat... 
Best female vocals on CD
Hi Gino, I have both of those cd's, Joni's "Both Sides Now" and Herbie's "Gershwin" cd. This is a perfect example of the point I was trying to get accross. Joni has obvisiouly lost some of her voice over the years, and yet I feel she is singing be... 
Avante Garde horn speakers.....
Hi, What they mean when they say the bass is slow is... The bass is out of character and not coherent with the rest of the frequences. When you listen does the bass sound like it's sticking out like a sore thumb? Does it disappear into the sound-s... 
WATT3/Puppy2 - too bright.
Hi, I think if you can I would try Balanced Audio Technolgy amps and pre-amps in your system. I've compared the VT200 to the VK60 mono's and to my ears the Bats were by far the more transparent device. It has a midrange to die for, and the highs w...

Hi Troyhyde, Karen Carpenter had a great voice! She also had a nice feel on the drums. It's a shame we lost her at such an early age. Great pick and 5 stars for your ears. Tom

Hi Craig, I'm glad you appreciated my input on Diana Krall. To me it's like trying to compare Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder. Why? Aren't they both good but different? You and I both responded to someone who was asking if they should upgrade their...
