Y No YG ?
All,We're dealers for YG, and have been doing it for the past 3 years. I do agree that the usual YG buyer does not frequent forums.But I call bullsh*t on the "no reviewer buys them" thing.By 2015, there were at least 12 reviewers worldwide who had... 
NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session
We have both Sabrina and Alexia 2 for demonstration as well, in Southern California, in case anyone's interested.Paired with Audio Research, D'Agostino or darTZeel. 
Wilson Alexia 2
Just got them in a few weeks ago, and did a launch event with MSB 204 monoblocks powering them.We have them hooked up now to the Audio Research GS150, and it's exquisite as well. Eventually, we'll put the D'Agostino Momentums on them, but we're in... 
Which server / renderer to buy?
Look into the Innuos products. Very complete package, comes with storage, rips CDs, and their entry-level starts at $1299. http://innuos.com 
Preamp - Ayre vs. Audio Research
Curious to hear what you think of the REF6! We've paired both the REF6 and REF 10 with D'Agostino Progressions, and it feels like a perfect match. It's definitely not for the folks who think a preamp should add nothing, as the ARC is definitely in... 
Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s)
We've upgraded many Debuts and Uni-Fis to ELAC's beautiful BS 403 bookshelf. It's $1000 in gloss black/white, and sounds considerably better than either one of the less expensive lines.If you can audition that particular one, that's what I'd recom... 
What ever happened to Krell ?
Hi,I'm not a dealer for Krell (but I am for Dan D'Agostino), but we did get one of the big iBias monoblocs in trade once, and they were indeed quite good, way, way better than I thought they'd be. For the price, hard to beat!That pair actually wen... 
Thoughts on the Auralic Altair?
We just got our demo Altair for the store, and it's still breaking in. So, far I like it. Build quality is very good, Vega level. The 4 filter options are great, and change the sound significantly, which can help in some systems...Just the other d... 
Standmount speakers 4k-8k
rsgottlieb,If yashu's Dynaudio C1 is within your price range, you should definitely consider that. Otherwise, my choice would be the Evolution Acoustics MicroOne, at $4000 new. It's by far the best stand mounted speaker I've heard at that price po... 
Vitus sia 025 vs d'agostino momentum
cmanios,If you want to give the D'Agostinos a go in your system, let me know. Of course I'm biased, but if there's anything you will NOT find on Dan's latest is fatigue! With our YGs, the depth with the Momentum is unbelievable. Truly a walk-in so... 
Which integrated amp would you pick?
The Hegel suggested earlier is twice the price of the two ther units, but the Hegel H80 fits right in, at $2000, or the H160 at $3500. Those are killer, will beat both MF and Parasound easily, and come with a great DAC (and the H160, a streamer to... 
Best integrated up to $6000
sbank, Thank you. I didn't see an option to add a signature automatically... So maybe I'll do it by hand...Disclaimer: dealer in San Diego, CA (http://almaaudio.com) 
Best integrated up to $6000
Under $6000, the Hegel H360, no doubt about it! 
Your three favorite audio dealerships?
