God, this gets out of hand!!!



Ha ha! You mean, your hobby wasn't out of hand yet?

Aside from the truly wonderful gear and the pleasure you all are getting out of it, I love the looks on the faces of the wives when they find out what kind of money is involved. Priceless!

Wow! I just read the page you prepared and it's just incredible that you guys went out of your way to help Ken do his college work. Kudos to ACA!

Please report here when you get the full movie on-line. I'm dying to watch that.

50% electricity maybe too much, I would put it on 30% (yes I did get an electrician to put a dedicated circuit just for the amp and another one for the source so they are no on the same serial network ....am I crazy too ?

But, but, but double blind testing is flawed!!! You know, the blindfolds, the pressure, uh, uh, tape delay, solar winds...

lol, solar winds. http://www.nordost.com/Interconnects...solar-wind.htm

Anyway, I think the difference between a 1k system and these would be fairly obvious. $1000 doesnt really get you very much with speakers. Thats why headphones are awesome though, cause the wors you could possibly do is spend 10k on an Orpheus and a couple grand on a DAC and ICs. At this point, no matter how crazy you are, there really is nothing you can do to make the sound better. That point for speakers is much much higher up.
