no but both presentations were very different in a way that I had never heard by varying the VTF. Not sure what they weigh as they are tiny and I really really want to chalk this up to expectation bias but what I heard was different and in at least one case better. I am very open to the people running the demo (experiment) setting it up in a way that alters the outcome but that would seem like a risky move with the gear out tin the open. I did not closely examine the cart/TT as we were moving quickly to take in as much of the show as we could.

We went to their room at RMAF, they are in the On Higher Note room run by Philip O'Hanlon. We heard some crazy shit, some small disc that was placed on the top of a phono cart that clearly changed the sound. There were two different varieties and each had a distinct sound to them, both appeared to sound better than stock. Three years ago it was small Tibetan monk prayer bowls that did change the room sound. These guys must have some sort of mass hypnosis capabilities. I'd like to buy the phono thingies to do needle drops with stock, flavor A and flavor B and post them without tagging which was which. I'd only do this though with a 30 day refund.

I'm on untapped

Stretch, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I too thought the Leben was a POS very colored and sounded like what people would quantify a tube amp to be, soft top and bottom end fuzzy warm midrange with soft transients. I'd rather by a used Fisher integrated amp and have it refurbed for the $$$. Godd to hear about the Caylx I really want to hear one of these

If I were to consider the bigger Klipsch speakers then I just go ahead and rock the Altec Voice of the Theaters ( I still smile when I think about the times I've heard these at shows)

I had a pair and upgraded the horns and still found them fun but ultimately something that I could not live with long term. Great diversion but not a long term keeper in my opinion. Also not a ton of thump even with the 12 inch woofer. I had an older pair though

wow we have fallen off the PC cliff officially!

for anyone with slight fit issues the comply foam wraps available at JH are fantastic. I have an issue when I lay down with my JH13s in that they slightly break seal and it reduces bass quantity. The foam wraps solve that issue and you can move your head in any direction without issue. Not it does slightly impact comfort and ease of taking them out but not a bad experiment if you're willing to dish out the $15 for a pack of 5 (they are said to last 2-3 weeks before needed replacement)

CJ, Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day

Happy Birthday Justin!

I liked the 20 I had but loved the 17D3

Yes - The Yes Album Steve Wilson mix now on to the SACD rip of SRV's Couldn't Stand The Weather

Elusive Disc had it for $349 but they gave you one to pull the trigger after they sent the email. I'm on the fence on this one as 3-4 of the discs are must haves imo but I could do without a 7th copy for some of the earlier releases. I may buy this just because it is all analog from the original mono tapes but that said recent box set quality has been pretty bad. Optimal in Germany where this set is getting pressed is getting hammered for QC issues on the Led Zep releases. There is also the potential for getting better discounts if the sets sit. The mono css were sold at a premium at release and were heavily discounted months after release. The box set I really want is the SRV set from Chad at Acoustic Sounds but they want an arm and a leg for it. I'd also bite on the download (if they offered it) before I'd go LP set.

David, happy birthday brother hope you had a great meal followed by several great beers/wines!

Happy Birthday bud hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday !!

Shelly, Happy Birthday!!
