I'm never going anywhere else, I love it here. I'll take a few windy nights over sub zero temps and a snow shovel 4-6 months a year. :eek:

Yea same here. We were about 4 hours behind you and I thought that it had spun itself out of gas around 8pm, OPPS. It didn't stop shaking the house till around 6am. Luckily damage was minimal around the park, I believe 2017s Irma was a bit worse for us.. Sorry for the folks that took the...

Basically the same here, no serious damage and the power, cable, internet stayed on all night. I sat up watching TV and listening to music all night and just came in from checking on my friends houses, etc. Only very light damage around our park so far, a bunch of blown off skirting, etc. Not...

It's a subjective thing you know. LOL :p

I wonder, do they all come packed like that, or is that just for over seas shipments? Those cases must cost almost as much as the purdy speaker cabinets themselfs? So he's spent around $15k or more to drag a rock thru a ditch, has a expensive CD player&streamer that he claims almost never to...

Sweet, I had kept an all original ST70 around for many years (just because). LOL The only thing not orginal were the bottom panel and of course the tubes, it ran great. When you have the room to keep them around, the ole school toys are fun to own and play with.

Just thinking about ya buddy, I hope all is OK for you and yours out there. We got it easy-peasy here in the Orlando area, no real worries to think of. I hope you've gotten somewhere safe and dry till things mellow out. Let us know when you can. Sal

Do wide dispersion tweeters tweet more?

Is it, think about it. He claimed "musically relevant information of a recording translates through coloured gear as it does neutral gear," So no matter how colored or what the listeners preferences, the recording will still be enjoyable.?

Depends, that's a matter of perception and tolerance. How degraded does a recording have to become before its no longer enjoyable to you? There's a limit to everything NO? Could you enjoy listening to your favorite recording from the inside of a car playing one of those systems that have every...

Sounds like you got a good deal with the warranty included. Whether it sounds any different than the units built with the newer DAC's is debatable, but yours do measure quite a bit better. I'm running the newer DAC equipped X4700H here and it sounds just fine to me. YMMV I never do any gaming...

The 565's were notorious for failing caps and the distruction of their boards due to their leaking and such. It's highly possible your memories of a "bright" sound was due to some out of spec factor from these problems. OTOH, my 5.2.4 system is comprised of 3 545MkII & 2 535MkII amps, all of...

All very true! And we all know that tube amps can and have been built that are as transparent (or nearly so) as a Benchmark AHB2. But that is not the direction or intention of much of the high end audio market today. Let me once more post links to the current pride of the high end media where...

The point that the musicians could care less if you listen to their work on a 6 transistor radio or a $10k HiFi is irrelevant. The fact that the science of High Fidelity music recreation in the home is the intended product of the recording engineers and the people who have worked tirelessly to...

??? If you say so, I know nothing about movie production, only if I liked them or not. And my taste seems to run counter to the masses. LOL

It was simply a bunch of Hollyweird fantasy & fiction BS. LOL And it was our love of that music while growing up that lead many of us to High Fidelity gear in an effort to hear that music as clearly as possible. First it was 45s, then LPs and then Digital sources that gave us the clearest view...

Objective measurements or subjective listening impressions?

BTW, If a Google search or some other search engine on Adcom amps should land you here, the below link to the Hoppe's Brain website is a good one. The gentleman on that site has about as much knowledge on Adcom amps as any around. That site hasn't any affiliation whatsoever with ASR, I only...

He was "Just An Excitable Boy." Remember, But For The Grace of God, There Go I !!!

Unpredictable would be a good way to describe it. LOL I do wish y'all well. ;)
