$4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS

It will be interesting to see how many pairs of Tenors
go up for sale and how low the price goes.

Likewise, in three months we'll probably see Hurricanes for
sale at bargin prices and a lot of people looking for a quiet fan for all those tightly packed KT88s.

The same will happen with Mr.Crump's JC-1s. Fremer and Atkinson are just like HP, they love everything new. They're
just trying to get Parasound's advertising dollars. Watch for more rave reviews of the Halo line.

That's beauty of Audiogon & the Interent we can watch it all unfold for free.

Stay Warm.

Aloha.

Zaikesman- Glad you believe in Stereophile and it's reviewers. I'm not a subscriber anymore, I haven't read the JC-1 review. I hope Halo & Mr.Crump make lots of money.

October 2002 was my last issue...you know the one where they proclaimed the $25K Halcro DM58 is "The best ampilfier ever!"

In that issue, both it and the $1.7K PS Audio HCA-2 are rated Class A. If the Halcro DM58 is "The best ampilfier ever," shouldn't it be A+? And how does it compare to the JC-1s, is it worth the $19K difference in price, will it turn my listening room into the Village Vanguard?

They're the cowards Zaikesman, because they don't want to offend advertisers. It's not a question of postive reviews being exchanged for ad purchases, everything new sounds great. And please remember Fremer's reviewing career started under HP, that how he learned to play the game.

My point was and is, the marketplace information on Audiogon is more valuable and it's free.

"I never see myself as aspiring to state-of-the-art system status, but I've already spent more time and money on the darn thing than I ever used to think I could be lured into, or am proud of, to be truthful. I bought most of the stuff used though, and stay away from high-end stereo shops like the plague, in addition to having no audio buddies and not attending the shows. So there!"
