I was recently in the Tampa area and took a ride down to Sarasota to visit with Mike and Suncoast. First off his shop is beautiful. All the bells and whistles from perfect room acoustics to some seriously beautiful and great sounding gear. Even though he knew i was visiting and not buying he set...

Going one more step up in the Ortofon lineup. Ive run a cadenza black for about a year now. This is kind of hard for me to write because i often said on this forum id run my black until the wheels fall off. Well the wheels didnt fall off , i just came upon an offer i couldnt refuse. i...

joes posting looking for the allman bros album reminded me . the allmans are doing their last set of shows EVER!!! tues and wed at the beacon theater. as a fan my whole life i never thought this would come. but i guess its inevitable. i think ive been to 30 or 40 of their shows over the years...

well some of you know i ordered a allnic t1500 300b integrated amp. i have heard this on 4 different occasions but never heard this with stock tubes, and when i get it i plan on breaking it in with whatever tubes are in it. but the sound im looking for and bought is including the emission labs...

ive now hear these speakers a couple times, the grand MM, and although only 91db sensitivity they have played with 300b amps very nicely. they have a 10" driver with the tweeter in the center. they are very smooth and silky and im starting to really like them alot. i think they list around $9k...

so i been looking at these speakers for awhile. never heard them. very interesting to me, a little too big but they are gorgeous. anyone have any experience?? With incredible dynamic range, accuracy, and correct tonal balance, the Alura reproduces the sound of instruments as though they were...

so i been looking for upgraded horn drivers for speakers to get a better midrange horn. and the parts ive found are really nice . so i always thought speakers were more technical about angles of drivers and such, but looking at both my pairs here and all speaker i ever see they all just have...

these are very interesting for guys who have low watt amps and are looking for monitors. me :hey: id love to hear them. The P-17B raises the bar for bookshelf speakers with full rich sound that belies its smaller size, and a striking visual design that could easily be considered a work of art...
