    Charles Krauthammer, MD may he RIP

    Dr. K was a favorite of mine. I don't think, in my lifetime, and I just turned 65, that I have ever heard or seen a more articulate, clever and insightful conservative who always maintained his poise and cleverness through every encounter. His stoic face and as a result of his disability he...

    Sold My Dream Speakers For My Dream Speakers

    Well I made a decision I can't step back from. Sold my Nola Concert Grands to help buy the new Gobel Aeon Epoque Fine. When Elliot took them out of my room for Axpona I really missed them. They are now back until Elliot gets his showroom up, which has been taking longing than anticipated...

    Very Sad Day

    Elliot and his crew just picked the Epoque Aeon Fine, fully burned in, to show at Axpona. I recommend all go take a listen. They will definitely be missed. They are really an amazing and very special speaker.

    Broken In and Amazing

    I won’t be at Axpona but Elliot will be taking the Aeons from my room to show there. I know he will be showing with CH Precision which he recently took delivery of and is busy burning them in before the show in addition to setting up his studio. Now 10 days+ the new Epoque Fine Aeons are...

    FINALLY Found A Listening Chair I Want

    I know there has been debate on multiple forums about a listening chair with multiple people making fun of the "listening chair" concept. Personally, I have always believed the right location, height and proper chair is as much an integral part of a high end audio system as any other component...

    The Epoque Fine Has Landed In My Sound Room

    Elliot and a couple of others schlepped two travel cases to my sound room. I have the first pair in America the USA and look forward to the ride until they leave for Axpona We just uncreated them and music is playing. No comments to the sound as way too early and they are not “setup” nor...

    New M1 Arriving

    Well as some of you know, Elliot G, has become distributor for Gobel speakers and cables in NA. He has also become a dealer for CH Precision. Until his studio opens, I am the fortunate "break-in" for his new acquisitions. He just received his demo M1 which IF we can get it up the stairs...

    Some Members Discuss Their Nola Speakers

    I once said that too. Guess what I was wrong. Yes I am very fortunate to be able to afford them (not bragging) but it was a real stretch. I had tremendous trepidation about buying them. I was replacing my Baby Grands. My last experience of upgrading (sometimes the evil of good is better) in...

    My Preliminary Experience With Roon and why I went all in!

    I know Roon was discussed elsewhere. In the past I have listed 4 products to me which, IMHO, in my experience since 1987 have been real groundbreaking products. I now, after a week of "experimenting" with what was not such great experience initially am happy to report this becomes number 5...

    MSB's Homerun

    No I am not talking about the SELECT or the DAC V, neither of which I have yet to hear or upgrade to. I am talking about their new QUAD USB input upgrade for their SELECT and DAC IV AND V. After many days of struggling I found out that it will not play QUAD DSD on the DAC IV but only on the V...

    KT150 v KT120 Tubes

    Just got my KT150 tubes for my ARC REF75 and it was a plug and play install. No issues, at least day 1. At this point I cannot comment on SQ as the tubes were right out of the box, all matched, but nothing broken in, so I am not in a position to comment other than to say, there is...

    Stillpoints Aperture Acoustic Panels

    Bought my first and placed them stacked behind my speakers dead center. Believe their hype! Just ordered another two for my side reflections. I have no financial affiliation with Stillpoints other than they have caused me some well deserved financial hardship. This may be one of the...
