Mike Lavigne's SystemDertonarm, I understand your intent, and the Wavac does sound tantalizing if it does what you say it does in terms of dynamics while maintaining SETness.In reviewing the Wavac reviews, it d... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemDertonarm, how much does a 833 replacement tube cost? It seems that one of the standard dictums of the SET world is "less is more." In speaking with Mike, he felt that the low powered 2a3s ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemHi Sam. Thanks for catching my funny. In the heat of all the tribal scuffles, humor is lost. On that note, Unoear gets 5 stars for his funny. You can see the same humor throughout his system page (... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemGlory, you are right on the money about the dark side of audio. It's funny. Whenever my wife sees the Audiogon yellow on the computer screen, she groans, and says "so you're looking at audio porn a... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Voice Of Living PresenceNicely done Syntax. Reminds me a little of Dale Pitcher's Denalis with an extreme approach to mechanical grounding. Fascinating. Most production speakers do not do justice to that concept. I know t... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

The European PerspectiveWhat an elegant room! Bravo. Is that a brick facade behind the speakers, and what are the wood structures with slits in them. posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Agreed. Again, kudos on your system. I wish we all lived a little closer to one another to get the opportunity to do more listening. My wife and I moved from Minneapolis to Charlotte, NC in 08 and ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
