Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only.
@larsman I have sold a pair of speakers for 11k cash. $850 is nothing and I would rather not deal if someone is AFRAID to carry $850. I was laughing. C’mon man.

I listed LRS + on a site and I had interested parties but they were giving me flack for wanting cash. $850 is NOT a crazy amount of cash to carry. I paid cash for them and that’s how they will be sold. You’re coming to my house to get them. What a...

I can’t lie that is what has always kept me away from those speakers. I probably would’ve bought a pair if not for that hassle. Or at least my opinion that it could be a hassle.  
New cartridge vs. Re-tipped
Steven Leung of VAS delivered my repaired Dynavector 17D3 to me at AXPONA. Excellent work and a very easy guy to deak with. I appreciate his work.  
Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona?
They were a powerful sounding speaker. I loved the demo. I thought he said they were 150 lbs. I think they are trying to keep the price under 10k also. We shall see.  
New buy, no return policy
Once you open the box and set them up in someone's house you lose 10k on that pair. I don't know how dealers are expected to eat that cost.  Tough business to be in.  
Vinyl playback - lack of bass?
I believe digital usually gets more pronounced bass. I don't think you are wrong.  
Are internal component upgrades worth it.
I have a simple solution. Buy speakers that you think sound fantastic that don't require modification. Why anyone spends that much money to then crack them open and 'fix' them I will never know.  
What Speakers are you running with your Gryphon Amp?
@nyev I have heard the 801 D4 sound damn near perfect. I didn't know they could sound bad. That is a great trick that dealer managed to pull off. I agree with others who say the Gryphon can drive anything. Very peculiar. Your speakers are great. N... 
New Magico Speaker Break-in Question
@hilde45 I'm surprised to hear your thoughts on the Salks. I have Song 3 and it's one of the pieces of gear I would never sell. Perfect clarity but not fatiguing to me. Different tweeter though. I haven't heard that complaint much about Salk. Some... 
Swiss Options - Piega & Stenheim
Stenheim. Easy to drive. I would think they would be a better fit with Devialet.     
Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b
It seems like the easier solution is getting a cartridge that matches the phono stage better OR a phono stage that matches the cartridge better. The gain on the PL is the reason I stayed away from  it. I love PL but it should play nice with just a... 
Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333
The Gryphon can drive any future speaker. I don't know the Soulution but maybe consider the Magico speakers if you loved the sound.
