Hi all, first post here. I've been looking for a set of speakers to warm up a kitchen/dining room that is about 12x25'. I was thinking something along the lines of a set of Bose 301's, but after looking online I see that they've fallen out of favor. I just liked the price point and the sound quality so far as I can remember the set we had when I was a kid. What else is out there in the marketplace along those lines and at/around/less-than that price point? Of course I want the best possible quality for the price.

Great article on the spiral groove table !!

I own a Triplanar and Lyra skala, using a Grand Prix Monaco table. So your article really hit home for me. I am extremely curious on more info on the Centroid arm, I know these are new, but given your final comment "it's not leaving my home" I take it that it's a killer arm.

When do you plan your formal review and/or can you post more comments here or send me a private note?

Thanks in advance

I currently have an Esoteric X-03se, but am looking to replace it with a DAC and computer source. I have a small "silent PC" with a Lynx card, and was orignally planning to connect it to an Esoteric D-07 (or possibly D-05) DAC via XLR connectors, externally clocking the Lynx card from a master clock. However, I've recently read about the new dCS Debussy dac, which looks interesting. Has anyone had the opportunity of auditioning one?

Thanks,
Daniel

But, you know what I mean.
Let the discussion begin.

A rare chance to hear a world-class violinist in an awe-inspiring acoustical space--The Third Meeting House of the First Baptist Church in America, which still has most of its 1775 horsehair plaster. The recital is open to the public and free of charge. The program:

The AudioDharma "cable cooker" claims to re-break-in cables after about a year of use. This re-breaking-in supposedly makes a big difference in the sound of a cable.

Can anyone confirm this ? Does this method work ?
