Hi all, long time, no post! I'm starting to ponder replacing my beloved ML Spires, with either the ESL 11A or the ESL 13A (the ESL 15A is likely beyond my means for the time being). It's my understanding that the ESL 11A is essentially today's version of the Spire. I love the sound of my...

Hi all, As some of you know, I lost my computer programming job late in 2008. About a year ago I decided to put my (ahem) writing talent to use and publish a magazine about something I've loved almost my whole life: high-end audio and music (especially on vinyl). After a lot advice and...

Hi All, Jenny and I spent the last few days in Vancouver, soaking up some Olympic atmosphere. I mentioned to fellow forum member, Lance (Zaphod), that we'd be in the area, and asked if he would be interested in getting together for an hour or two. He was, so on Saturday Jenny and I met Lance...

My wife and I were in Portland this past weekend for a whirlwind trip. She's into a TV show called Little People, Big World so we visited their farm (they're only open to the public in October, for pumpkin season), and was hoping to meet with Jeff (Tonepub). We spent several hours in his and...

As some of you know, I was downsized from my job last November. As a life-long vinyl lover, I've been thinking about launching my own freely downloadable, vinyl-centric magazine, and wanted to get an idea of its viability. To that end, I've put together a short confidential survey and I'd...

Another audio great has passed away: Wilma Cozart Fine, co-producer of the renowned Mercury Living Presence records passed away this past Monday (September 21). :-( Thanks for the wonderful sounding records...

We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my birthday, and invited a few friends back to our place afterwards. Most of them have seen my system, but one guy hadn't since I upgraded to my MartinLogan Spires and Nordost Frey cabling. So I invited him downstairs to have a quick listen and he...

I've been out of town for a few days visiting family in California (amongst other things). On my last day in the LA area, I had the opportunity to visit with Ken (RUR) and his wife, Kathi. I want to thank Ken and Kathi for being such gracious and generous hosts, and for giving me a chance to...

Hi all, I'm making an unexpected trip to LA early next month and was wondering if anyone wanted to get together? And if there's an ML dealer in the area with a pair of CLXes, please let me know their address! I'm going to be in the area for a couple of days, spending a lot of the time doing...

I really like Beethoven's Symphonies, so I'm quite interested in the Speakers Corner boxed set, conducted by Herbert von Karajan (they were originally released by Deutsche Grammophon). Is any one familiar with this set (or the DG originals)? I'm very interested, but $275 is a LOT of money to...

I had to return a record to Acoustic Sounds recently, and their policy is that they'll ship a replacement with my next order. One of the records I was thinking of ordering, as a result of recommendations here, was Gary Karr's Adagio D’Albinoni. The thing is, at $50 it's an expensive blind buy...
