KEF LS50 Meta
My local dealer has offered to let me demo them at home for a couple days when they get them next week. If it happens I'll post thoughts here. 
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
Clearwave Audio Duet 6 Monitors. I paid $1000 for these speakers but once I received them one clearly had a bent grill which the driver would vibrate against at loud volume. The seller refunded me $200 and got me a replacement grill so I paid $800... 
MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please
Glad I found this topic. I have a PS Audio Directstream Jr. and like it. Been curious to try a NOS dac. Was reading about SW1X, Audio Mirror, Border Patrol, Orchid, etc. I’m just wondering if these are an improvement over the DSJr.? SW1X Level 2 S... 
Need preamp recommendation
Get a loaded Sachs preamp for under $3k. One of the great deals in audio.  
$5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick
I'm sure all the speakers mentioned here are great in their own ways. I'd check out the Salk Song3 BEAT. They're not solid wood as mentioned above, but they use a wood veneer and look great and you can pick pretty much any finish. If Salk had to c... 
Salk Audio Sound
I have a pair of Song3's. I love them. I demo'd the ProAc D30r's and those were my favorite brick and mortar store speakers, but for quite a bit less (mine are standard Song3's) I like the Song 3's more.They are just a bit more articulate and deta... 
A moderate priced dac
For around $1100-1400 you should be able to find a used Exogal Comet Plus. That's a great sounding DAC, from the founders of Wadia, that retails for over $3k. Fantastic sounding DAC. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Wow, pretty much read this whole thread. It reads like a movie almost. Hopefully, there's a happy ending for all involved. I can say I've purchased a couple of products from Underwood and never had any experiences other than completely positive. I... 
Axpona 2019
@audiotroy  The Golden Ear Triton 1R were in our mind one of the standouts for the money for $6k they sounded totally different then the sound we associated with Golden Ear which tends to be either too bright or too boomy. The soundstage was huge... 
Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available...
On paper these don't seem to have major improvements over the Dialogue series. However, the price sure went up. I'm wondering if by creating a new model they also get a new round of reviews in the HiFi media, which is the lifeblood for sales. If t... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
That's ironic. I was pouring over Aliexpress around the same time looking at these cables from various dealers. I decided to hold off and try something else for now, however I think there are a couple different scenarios that present themselves wi... 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
I'm listening to an STA-200 right now. I use it in my office with a pair of KEF Q150's and an Emotiva XDA2 dac. It's a great amp. I've used it at home with an Exogal Comet Dac and Salk Song3's and it sounded great. I also had the Job225 amp and co...
