    The cars you have loved, or are in love with. Tell us your car history and what each one taught you

    Mike, I learned to drive a stick in a 1966 Jaguar XKE 4.2 with covered headlights. Had the removable hardtop for winter use. I was 7 years old when my Dad purchased it new. It was black with a red interior. He drove it as a daily driver until he sold it in 1989. He traded it on a very low milage...

    All New Ferrari Purosangue : The Ultimate Supercar ?!

    That is a true statement about just about all Ferrari models. The waiting list is about of 5 years long.

    Whither Audio Research

    My point is that you better be prepared to either put them in default of the foreberance agreement if they are even one day late with that monthly financial statement or formally waive the violation which has to be in writing Our lawyers told us not to put anything in any agreement unless you...

    Whither Audio Research

    I was a commercial lender for a top tier commercial Bank (top four to be exact) for 30 years. Companies of this size made up a large part of my $150 million portfolio. The covenants outlined in the Forbearance Agreement are a joke at best. The reporting requirements alone can generate an event...

    Whither Audio Research

    I can't take responsibility for this as it was shared with me by a Lawyer. What is the difference between a lawyer and a catfish. One is a bottom dwelling, mud sucking scavenger and the other is a fish

    Whither Audio Research

    I personally think HOA's are the spawn of Satan and I absolutely hate them with a bloody passion. Oh yeah, I am the President of our HOA because they can't find anyone willing, ie stupid enough, to take the job.

    Does that mean I have to give up my Padrons or my Lafite (yes, I am a cigar and wine snob.)

    Jonathan Tinn R.I.P.

    This is sad news indeed. Jonathan was a great guy and a driving force in this business. I am thankful to have known him and his passing is a blow to the industry and a loss for all of us.

    What Is It That You Are A Collector Of

    If you don't mind me asking, what cars do you have. I have a 1979 Rolls-Royce that I have owned for 35 years. I was seriously in the market for a 1921 to 1926 Springfield Silver Ghost for several years before I lost my ability to drive for health reasons. Found myself bidding on one at an...

    Best Classic European Sports Car

    As usual, I am late to the show. I have to give the late Eddie Smith's family all the credit in the world for donating 100% of the proceeds to various charities in North Carolina. Have grown up in an orphanage, Eddie always remembered his roots and never failed to pay it forward. As for the car...

    Amp Stand for Heavy Amp on Wood Floor?

    I currently use the Artesania Exoteryc Aire Platform. It is solid and will support up to 440 pounds. The stands are spiked but the spikes fit into decouplers that will not damage your hardwood floors. I am very happy with them.

    dSC Rossini Versus Rossini Player

    You can always do what I do with firearms. They are kept in my shooting partner's gun safe. Since he and I shoot together, it is not a problem. I as sure you have an audio buddy who would be happy to keep that DAC for you and give very liberal visitation rights. :D

    Speakers for Pass Labs Electronics ?

    I concur with the recommendation for Soundlabs. I have two friends who are driving these speakers with Pass X-600.5's. The sound is magnificent.

    Looking for a new DAC under 50K

    Back to the dCS. The Vivaldi would sound better than the Rossini with clock but you would need to add either the Network Bridge or the Upsampler if you wanted to stream Hi-Res audio from a network. These are the digital inputs on the Vivaldi Dac: USB 2.0 interface on a type B connector...

    Looking for a new DAC under 50K

    That is a good question. I am going to have to ask my dCS buddy the answer to that one.

    Looking for a new DAC under 50K

    I am partial to dCS. The Rossini DAC and Clock meets all of your requirements and comes in at around $32.5k. If you need a CD player as well, you can get the Rossini Player which is the DAC and a CD player in one chassis plus the clock for around $37.5k. If you need SACD playback, then there is...

    Nakamichi Dragon

    The gold Nak was a limited production version of the 1000ZXL. The only difference between the limited production piece and the standard 1000ZXL was the gold faceplate and a couple of thousand in price.

    All NEW Rolls Royce G H O S T !..

    The is a big difference between James May and Doug Demuro. While May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are terribly funny and do wacky things to cars, their reporting on cars are factually correct. As noted, there are more inaccuracies in his report on the Silver Shadow than there are things...

    All NEW Rolls Royce G H O S T !..

    Bentley Motors is the successor to Rolls-Royce Motors. They have stuck to a lot of the traditions and spirt of the old company. Yes, they have done some things I don't care for such as the Continental GT and the Jetta sharing the same key fob but I would take a Bentley Muslanne with the 6.75...

    All NEW Rolls Royce G H O S T !..

    Ron, I want to give you a little background on my experience with Rolls-Royce automobiles. They have been a hobby of mine for over 40 years. I am one of those people who is all or nothing when they get involved with a hobby. Some people would call it an obsession, LOL. In the 40 years since I...
