It's great to be back HOME! |

My first 4 1/2 years was in a home, then 5 1/2 in a storefront, now back to a home again. WHY? Part financial, mostly spiritual/emotional/psychological....I really hated pushing myself so hard to generate cash every month just to get by, all the while trying to be the service-based guy I'd always been....too much to do, too little time...
Now I'm working the same hours, but have far less to manage it seems, and I can get it done in something less than 80 hours a week...or at least when it has been an 80-hour week, it still feels GREAT!!!!
Laurie, my fiancee, found a great place for us...A large room for large room systems, a small room for that "extra room" so many folks have yet rarely use, which can be an OUTSTANDING, INTIMATE room for a great music system if proper care is taken....Check out our small room systems! Oh yeah, and our "invisible theater," featuring a Cambridge 540D dvd player, Cambridge Audio 640R theater receiver, and Anthony Gallo Acoustics A'Diva Ti speakers mounted in-wall and in-ceiling, and we're trading off Gallo's own TR-2 sub and a REL T-series...both are both musical and POWERFUL.
We're appointment-only again, so we can't handle drop-ins but, as before, if you call and I'm available, LET'S DO IT! I'll always do what I can to accommodate you! I'm available until 10pm Monday through Saturday....Sorry, but Sundays are for my family and my Father.....
Give me a call, and let's hook up! We'll watch some deer that roam the front yard, check out some squirrels and jackrabbits, then kick back for some tunes or movies!
See you soon!

Review: Walker Audio Talisman |
|
Written by Brian Kurtz
|

Here's a picture of Lloyd Walker's
latest
"too absurd to be true but it most certainly transforms your system"
tweak, THE TALISMAN....comes complete with silly graphics on it, making
it even more of a joke to show to clients and friends....BUT THIS THING
REALLY WORKS! The Talisman really is an effective magic wand for your
CDs and LPs!
I have shown this thing
to everyone from "friends of ours who could care less, but sit there
because we ask 'em to," to the tweakiest of the tweaks....EVERYONE WHO
LETS US SHOW THE TALISMAN TO THEM HAS HEARD THE IMPROVEMENT IT MAKES ON
BOTH CDs AND LPs!
Just get one, OK!?!?!?! If you come into the shop and get the demo, you'll be $200. lighter, but FAR more ready to enjoy your audio system!

Wait, Brian! You're talking about liquid material around the conductors, right? No.
Then you're talking about liquid inside the jacket for extra damping and shielding, right? No.
You're not talking about LIQUID METAL, are you? Like a LIQUID metal is actually carrying the audio signal? YES!
The
conductors are a proprietary alloy of lab-grade Gallium, Indium, and Tin inside of tubes which are
sealed and attached in proprietary fashion to RCA jacks, or XLRs or spade lugs
for use in these magnificent sounding cables! The stuff's ACTUALLY
LIQUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURES!
Two GREAT points to know...
First: THESE GUYS NOW WANT ME TO BE THEIR INTERNATIONAL POINT OF CONTACT!!!!
Second: I JUST RECEIVED XLRs AND SPEAKER CABLE THAT ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!
Are they inexpensive? Only relative to the competition....$1898./m pr of RCAs, and $3500/m pr. of XLRs. Speaker cable is a bit out there at $15K/8' pr, but again, that's only expensive until you hear what they SOUND LIKE. Check these things out when you have a chance!

ProAc Tritowers are here! |
|
Written by Brian Kurtz

These are ProAcs? The new Tritowers utilize a midrange and woofers derived from the legendary Response 1SC, and an all-new tweeter, all packaged in a slim, trim, stylish speaker everyone's loving! The only thing the same in this baby is the SOUND. It's still CLASSIC PROAC. Totally neutral.
Do we sell lots of ProAcs here? Not really. Muscians "get it" INSTANTLY, but most folks don't "get it." ProAcs provide a sound only a musician can fully appreciate....or an ex-musician, or engineers, or ex-engineers....or folks who actually listen to live, unamplified acoustic music on a sufficiently regular basis to know what REAL sounds like in the first place.
If you're one of THOSE guys, come in and ask to listen to the Tritowers. You'll be glad you did!

 The wonderful folks who distribute Quad Electrostatics have been kind enough to send us a pair of Reference Series 2805s to show around!!!!
If you're serious about owning electrostatics and find hybrids just sound like two different types of speakers failing to play well together, then it's time to try some Quads. They're wider than those "other" electrostats because they're NOT hybrids. They're a ONE-WAY loudspeaker...just like the microphone that records the music you enjoy. They won't shake the ground but they're reproduce a tympani crash at the symphony just like you were really there...filling the hall effortlessly but not artifically thumping you in the chest or rattling your teeth. Get the idea? THAT is why Quad 2805s and their big brothers, the 2905s keep winning awards all over the world. They're just GREAT loudspeakers.
Stop in for a listen!
