Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
tnvol1954 You sure seem like a class act! Blaming democrats for bringing politics into the discussion while making no attempt to hide your own nasty bias and views about the current president. I would welcome the day when someone like you is not ... 
Member Almarg passed away last night
This is a devastating loss to the audiogon community. Al was the Gold Standard when it came to knowledge and respectful communication. He is irreplaceable. There never was and there never will be another Al!RIP -- we should all aspire to be like him. 
Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75
Hi Audiobrian,I have both Gryphon (Diablo 300) and Accuphase A70 ( very similar to the recently released A75). Both are absolutely sensational amps. If you ask me to pick a difference, I would say the Accuphase sounds a little smoother and refined... 
Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'
Steve,It would be best to call the US distributor -- Bluebird Music. They can guide you regarding the nearest dealer who has these speakers available for an audition. 
Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'
No need to apologize. I am objective about my equipment -- as I mentioned I have other speakers that I happen to love. By the way, Roy Gregory did not make that comparison flippantly. He does not say that about other expensive speakers that he rev... 
Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'
Contuzzi,The original poster asked a specific question about where he could hear "The Music" speakers, not to hear your rant about how overpriced they are or how you can get better speakers for less than the used price of The Music. I have owned T... 
Ayre VX-5 vs. darTZeel NHB-108
This is not a fair comparison. The darTZeel NHB 108 should be compared to the Ayre MXR 20 monoblocks (in price). The build quality of Ayre MXR 20s is top notch. Since I have not personally owned the darTZeel amp in question, I will not comment on ... 
Has anyone with a Lumin tried the L1 Library?
Hi,I have the L1 library with a lumin T1. The library is just wonderful -- so easy to use and works like a charm all the time. It has taken the guesswork out of using this wonderful player (at least for a person like me who is not too computer sav... 
Resolution Audio- great customer service
Another shout out for Resolution Audio. Their Cantata DAC + CD player is the most smooth, analog sounding DAC I have heard (& I have heard a few but not all). Steve Huntley's service is over the top. Very fair pricing and lightning quick turna... 
Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE
"This is not about Magico, it is about making well informed choices and sharing real useful information with others, not just feeling"Usermanual,You are probably too obtuse to understand this concept but in a subjective hobby like audio it is a lo... 
Plinus vs. Burmester amps
Hi Trai,Which speakers were they using with the Burmester amp? If they were showing with Burmester speakers that might explain the tendency towards brightness as Burmester speakers tend to sound clinical. 
Plinus vs. Burmester amps
Hi Falconquest,At this level, I feel both Burmester and the Plinius amps you are considering are going to have excellent sonics. The bass quality and ability to control the woofer of the speakers (because of its very high damping factor) are speci... 
Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE
Melbguy,You said "and that tubes and diy gear beats $30 and $40k Vitus, Dartzeel etc, I lose interest and walk away. Its like cars..you can get a top engineer and modify a Subaru as much as you want..it will never be a Porsche. It will just be a v... 
Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE
Usermanual and Melbguy,I do not know what Mike (Mbovaird) did/said to light up a fuse under your collective a...s. Mike has admitted several times that he likes to swap gear. He just opined that he preferred the sound of Tannoy to Magico. One can ... 
Plinus vs. Burmester amps
Hi Falconquest,With those speaker specs, the Burmester 956 would hardly break a sweat. I have used it with multiple speakers--the toughest load was 87db and 4 ohms. The amp drove the speakers to satisfactory levels without even getting warm.Also, ...
