"High end" store snobbery
I live in a seasonal seaside community with 20 million dollar homes but there are no good audio stores. You need to go to a city- where the money comes from.  Arrogance is in every industry just shop elsewhere. The used market is alive and well h...

Made in USA
@ghasley thanks for that site reference- Neuro-Acoustic Alignment technology (ANA®) prioritizing harmonic structure over tone. Do you have one of these? Hope you are well my friend.    
Devore O vs Audionote
The Devore's are better than the Heresy's without a doubt. No comparison at all, and I have compared them. I've owned the O/93 and the Cornwall 4. That's a little tougher to compare. The Cornwalls have an effortlessness to them that is hard to mat... 
The difference between an Audiophile and a Stereophile?
Reasonable question but a stretch to try to find some minute difference that I’m not interested in. On the other hand, it’s a post that probably doesn’t have a better location. McIntosh is gear that I grew up with but don’t own. I do have the des... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
One of my favorite speakers lately is the Verity Otello. Has anyone compared the Otello (beats the Leonore by a wide margin) to the Joseph?  Another brand I'm really liking is Fyne.  
Help me pick a new pair of speakers
I had a pair of D2's and really enjoyed them. Great speaker. If you don't mind something a little older keep your eyes open for a pair of Verity Parsifal monitors too.   
New Zu Audio Soul Supreme Speakers
I've come to realize that most speakers have something incredibly cheap associated with them. From plastic parts made to look like metal to $50 drivers, even at $20,000. You could buy an airplane for the cost of some of this fake wood and rubber.  
Is this a scam?
Never dealt with that one. Tell him you will send his deposit and your items to me. I will be the escrow agent.  
Has something happened to the Whatsthebest audio forum?
Maybe your wife has been using the parental controls.  
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube?
He's blown away by everything. I've watched a few and he's far too verbose about nothing for me. That said anyone can make YouTube videos but the real skill is in getting the traction so good for him. At one point he was sure to say that he wasn't... 
Fyne Audio - New Speakers Displayed in Munich
It's easier to find information on Area 51 than to figure out where the Tannoy factory is located. Good for the Fyne guys for jumping off that ship.     
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
Maybe if people didn’t buy $200 headphone amps and burn up rare tubes for mediocre sound we wouldn’t have this problem LOL. They'd be much better of with a $3000 power cord.  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
You have a better chance of finding a dispensary sale. Well, maybe not you mountain and west coast kids.  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
We need American tubes. Any word on new production? I hear it’s a business that attracts rich single women. How about smugglers with large aircraft on the site? I’m out of ideas.
