| Willsenton vs Billie MK 1 I was interested in the amps made by Willsenton. I was not particularly put off by Chinese made tube amps since I have a Line Magnetic integrated tube amp now. The R8 was getting rave reviews and I was Iooking hard at the R800i. Then I saw a YouTu... | |

| Need to learn about Audio Research Look at the Rogue Audio Cronus Dark. All tubes. Beautiful sound and build. Made in PA so easy to get parts and repaired. 100wpc. If your speakers are not hard to drive, this would be a great choice. Sorry didn’t see the SS requirement. | |
| Bose Chucks Mac I would buy a cable or connector from Best Buy and maybe a printer. We have a Magnolia room in a store but I have not been in there in many, many years. I don’t think the young people who work there know much about high fidelity. In the other home... | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? An audio reviewer OVER HYPED a product! No way! | |
| Send in the Clowns Ask yourself these two questions. Can I live with and be happy with my audio equipment if it measures really well but doesn’t sound great? Conversely, can I live with and be happy with my audio equipment if it sounds great but doesn’t measure well... | |
