Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k
You need to up the price if you want to best the PrimaLuna. I own that amp. I’m super surprised when someone wants to sell. It’s the only thing I never think of changing out.  
2023 AXPONA Show Report
@blisshifi I loved the Dynaudio and Octave/SimAudio room as well. Opinions? I don’t agree on the FR 30 comments. The massive size of those is amazing at 30k. Think of the actual size of speakers in this range of pricing. The build was not Estelon ...

@rick2000 was correct about Clarysis Minuet. They are so good. Thanks for the heads up.  
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
I go to AXPONA every year and if you hear enough rooms you realize that some of these prices are not based on any cost formula. Made up out of thin air. I look at the Estelon speakers and they are a beautiful work of art and sound and I can see a ... 
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
I wouldn’t say the stores are rude but it just always feels as if coming to listen to something for more than a few minutes is annoying to them. Not to mention the salesman standing there the whole time. Please turn me loose wit the IPad and let m...

@blisshifi I will look for you. You are a great guy and positive poster on Audiogon.  
PS Audio M700 or M1200 low frequency bass
I owned the M700 and liked them very much. I kept Parasound Halo JC1 instead. More expensive and felt that they would drive any speaker I ever bought. I have no reason to believe that the M700 wouldn't do well either though. I thought they were pr... 
Starting from scratch and say $5000
Try the M700 mono blocks from PS Audio. On the used market they are less than $2000. I had them for a bit and liked them alot. Class D.   
Goodbye Everyone
@elliottbnewcombjr I want to address the responding thing. The Audiogon system doesn't exactly make it easy to know anyone is actually responding to someone. I find it tricky.  
Goodbye Everyone
@elliottbnewcombjr why not just take a break and jump back in if you feel like it? That seems a better approach. I look on these forums for info and the occasional chuckle but i don’t necessarily consider it friendships. I will go to AXPONA and wo... 
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
I have the VPI periphery ring and use it on a few warped records that NEED it. It works perfectly but on the average record I don't use it.    
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
If a person is the type that has a few pairs of speakers then one of those should be Magnepan. They definitely present the music in a different way. I happen to love the sound.   
Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many.
Mark Levinson. I think Clearaudio makes it but for some reason It's cooler than their tables in my opinion.  
2023 AXPONA Show Report
I'm very surprised at the criticism of AXPONA. i have been to quite a few. It's awesome. Earplugs? I've never heard anything loud to any excessive level. I have loved these shows. I'm not sure what people want. You go to get a taste of the gear. I... 
Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1
@mijostyn I love heavy metal and Maggies do metal just fine. The bass isn't as thick as some other speakers but I think that is not necessarily true. It's different but not deficient in my opinion.
