I heard BAT was sold
Be aware the MFSL gold Ultra Gain disc's back in the late 90's were a hard sell because of their superior gold surface's and limited edition run's and high prices that were worth every penny. When the record companies out of New York, L.A. and Jap...

Dave_b.. Sansui is under different ownership and is mainly a flat panel television company. You can still buy restored Garrard's out of the UK but the very best restored Garrard's that are completely gutted out and restored to brand new condition ... 
Best integrated amp for 10K
I predict that the new Rowland Continuum Series 2 integrated with the new Pasquale Class-D technology coming out in April will be a major advancement and a tour de force against all other integrateds on the market. Priced at $ 9500.00 it will give...

D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Guido...for the moment, the Pasquale power module is so new that it is not available to anyone. Jeff is the first to use it and has an exclusive on the amp. I was told that a former ICE engineer is the designer. It wouldn't surprise me if Rowland ... 
Short Floorstanders for HT only...$500
Just about all floor standing speakers average 40" inches or higher. Difficult to find any at 28" inches anywhere. There is nothing wrong with having the speakers halfway to three quarters up the side of the TV, which actually would be better that...

Mcbuddah..please keep us informed on your progress with the D-Sonic amps. Of course, only having them burned in for four days, you have a long way to go and are in for a real treat based on the 6Moons review last September. After extensive burn in... 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Drubin..you are way off target.." unfair misrepresentation of Harbeth and its fans?" How silly. What I described is absolutely correct and I highly praise Harbeth for the way they cut their cabinets to interact with the drivers and the sonic chara...
