Hi guys, it’s been a while since I have visited but found some time lately to snoop around. Noticed my system is not updated so thought I would revisit this tread.


I’ve added a Sony...

Agree, it is not exciting to drive. Quiet, smooth, acceptable power and comfortable. I drive a highly modified 2013 Si for my excitement :)

A friend just bought a brand new Outback and it is nice, It does not get near the mileage the Honda gets.

I find the CRV is very comfortable. It is the car we take for any long trips.

I use a Modwright PH-150 tube phonostage. A great sounding unit with exceptional versatility with it's ability to adjust settings "on the fly".

I have rented cars with CVTs and they seem to do the job. A little strange to see the engine stay right in the torque range and the transmission doing all the speed adjustment. I bought my wife a...

The best preamps I have owned are a Yamaha C-2x, Nakamichi CA-7, Decware CSP3 and now a Modwright LS 36.5 DM. All of them had their strengths but the Modwright was the only one that took my system...

Yes I am quite proud of the sound I have achieved in this room. Not that I have any responsibility for the gifted engineers and technicians that built the equipment I use, but all the research and...

My local dealer is trying to talk me into the Hana cart. I know he is really impressed with it at it's price point.

Thanks!

Thanks! It has been a journey but I really like the destination I found!

I'm not real sure what happened to audio artistry either? I think they just build kit speakers now? I know the Beethovens were designed by Siegfried Linkwitz who has a popular speaker DIY website. ...

I've been running a Modwright Elyse for some time now and can't imagine a more enjoyable DAC to listen to. It responded very well to adding a strong pair of Amperex Bugle Boy tubes along with...

Howdy.

Ha again. I don't mean to date myself but there was very little sign of civilization over there BITD. I used to go out there and shoot with friends. I would not dare do that now! Now it is a nice...

15 ips 2 track needle drop recording of Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy new remaster.

Nice to meet you Mike. North Bend was once way out in the sticks. Now it is another saturated bedroom community for Seattle! I agree the Pacific NW is the best place on earth. My family has been...

Ha! I had lunch down on NW 21st Monday. I have to agree about as nice of a city as I've ever been in (and I've been all over the world).

Too many people moving to Seattle. Traffic is terrible! House prices are way up. Rent is ridiculous. Just trying to demotivate people from moving here...
