Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
^^^^Audiozen - where on earth are you getting those figures? There is no way Cream sold 35 million albums from 66-68 - even MJ did not do that on any single record? At that time, a good album was lucky to sell a few hunderd thousand. Even the Beet... 
Ayre vs Primare
"6550c, why even bother posting anything if you don't know anything?"On- I Have listened to and investigated both Ayre and Primare. Have you? Ayre looks and sound like HE gear, Primare doesn't. Did you tell us anything about Primare?Other than you... 
Ayre vs Primare
Imo Ayer is on a much higher plane than Primare.The only time I have seen Primare was at Magnolia Hi-Fi and was not impressed. (Is it their house brand?). I think Primare in design in Sweden but manuf.in China or somewhere.I don't know if there is... 
Speakers for Dance music and other
You didn't really mention what kind of dance?Are you doing ballroom 3/4 time waltz stuff or just shak'n yo booty? lololololol 
How to listen to the good stuff?
Yeah, I have SoundLab speakers and keep trying to find something better - imagine how disapointed I get ? (just kidding).I would only work with a dealer that allows for in home demos. This is the only way I have ever bought great sounding audio ge... 
Mesa Boogie Strategy 400
I thought a power amp was a power amp. I have used several power amps, like AB International and Crown (not the Ref. Macro they were selling us back in the 1990s) in a home setup and thought they could be used for music PA too. They work, but do s... 
PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5
If you are going to drop 6K on your next amp, I would listen to the Audio Research VS115- I think it would outpace ANY Pass product. imho. 
Where to listen
DO they have products for sale at RMAF or is display only?I would recommend going to the Southern California/ LA area, as they probably have the most stores in one basic area. I can't recommend any one store by name, but SoCal does have many remai... 
Who heard the Mark levinson 53 monos?
The big problemo is there are almost NO dealers and the few that are left are mostly home theater or custom system integrators (what ever the heck that is). Harman is to caught up in the ultra high end home theater market. It's too bad the really ... 
Which components knocked you out on first listen?
i got shocked by a tube amp once. It didn't really knock me out, but it did feel like a baseball bat hit me in the arm ! 
Need more inputs in preamp, what to use?
I wonder if you could get another preamp? 
Audio Research Preamp Experts?
The LS5 is the best I have owned. I could never get into the REF series (not rich enough), plus I could never figure out why such a big box is so empty?The LS5 is XLR only (no RCAs) so that may be a stopper for some.I don't really like the newer p... 
Classe M1000
The M1000 was a mono amp, so I hope you are buying a pair.I think Classe planned a stereo version (S1000?), but I dont know if they ever producted it? They also may have made a half power version, the M500 monos?I almost bought a pair of M1000s at... 
Audio Research VT130, VT100 MkII or VTM120?
^^^^Reguarding the meters on the VT130SE. One is for line voltage, the other is for tube bias. So, they are not the more typical Vu meters that bounce around and no one really knows why other than they look neat and cool to some people. - like all... 
Audio Research VT130, VT100 MkII or VTM120?
I'd really look for the VT130SE instead of the VT130.
