Happy "Talk Like A Pirate Day," says I.

Arrrrgh.

When you're not busy shooting scurvy dogs, it may be a day for rum and wenches, ya scallywags.

Maybe at dinner I'll try some out...

"Inebriated be I, says you? I am merely one sheet to the wind! Don't scuttle my buzz, bucko."

Cremono speakers - want to upgrade from integrated to separates

Forums

I have a pair of Sonus faber Cremonas (not M) driven by a Simaudio I7, and would like to upgrade to separates.

I would like to consider tube preamp and solid state power amp. The Cremonas tend to need a lot of power; I started out with 130wpc into 4 ohms, and ended up with the I7 which is rated at 250wpc into 4 ohms and the difference was astounding.

What components would you recommend for the Cremona?

Thanks again.

In an ideal world, I'd have every phono section I've reviewed in the past 16 years on hand to compare with these three and with all that arrive in the future. But because I have a <I>life</I>, I don't, and I wouldn't even if I could, though some readers (and one retailer) have insisted that that's the only way that I could possibly be of any use to them. Ha! And for those who are concerned that I've neglected the Manley Steelhead, not so! It's still my reference.

Let's Just Say Shrunken Heads

Let's Just Say Shrunken Heads

Let's just say I had a little bit too much fun at last night's CD release party. Let's just say beer, tequila, and rum. Let's just say hot girls in summer dresses making out on the cushioned booth. Yeah, let's just say that. At one point, I turned away from the stage to see that the front room had been transformed into <a href=" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQJexFOxolI">The Tequila Scene</a> from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. It was like a dream, I tell you, and it may have been the most wonderful thing I've ever witnessed in my life.
