Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue??
Hey Jan 19th and my postal carrier apparently finished his read as it showed up yesterday! Actually it bore 3 extra stickers stating that it was undeliverable.   Anyway I got it thanks!!  
Anyone tried the Starke Sound AD4.320 Amp
Whoa Nellies!!  
Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?
Wow now that was exactly what I hoped others would have to share! WJ- Good feedback thanks. I did speak with Nicolas this afternoon. He suggested some of his buyers traded Pass for LTA and were pleased. Recommended the 20 INT over his 40. Cost ... 
Hi I've just sold item via Escrow first time...
When the funds are in securely in your account, ship the product. TT are the most problematic item to ship so I would recommend insurance. In which case if you are using Fed Ex-recommended- they drop packages from lower elevations than the com...

+1 on Jess Do you run fiber from router to streamer?    
Am I a hopeless audio snob?
I totally agree with your feelings about visual impressions. There are certain brands of speakers I deliberately avoid listening to for fear I may like the sound. Super Blingy looking brands of gear are also a turn off for me.  If something st... 
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
No vested interest here. Over Christmas I spent an hour at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle just listening to the KLH Model 5s. Hard to find in Arizona. Background- I built Cornerhorns from a Speakerlab kit in the 70's. Subsequently I owned Chorus 1s... 
Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
It does appear the Pathos less taken has made all the difference.  
Audio Research I/50
Darn, I thought I heard something about self-biasing in a factory tour last September. If there are meters-can't recall, that would at least tell you when they need adjusting right?  
Need help choosing a new DAC
I sold my AudioMirror Tubadour recently replacing it with a Pontus 2. I had the Ares last year and enjoyed it but felt I had "cheated out"  and should move up. Bottom line- The Audio Mirror Sound is perhaps less detailed but just as enjoyable ... 
Comparison of ARC Ref 6 to Ref 6SE
I have a friend who just made that move up and he is happy.  
What direction should I go
I'd start with the Innuos ZEN 3 at $2500.  Why? It streams/rips/stores. One Box. You seem to have a lot of boxes so maybe that is your preference. Buy an Ares 2 DAC $800. Buy the Uptone Audio Etherregen $650 Hardwire router to Regen.  Enjoy... 
Honesty is the best policy...I think.
Oldhvy hit it right. Disclose the issue accurately. Oppos are considered to be fine products yet they too require the occasional shut off/reboot. People may not freak as badly as you think. That said I would expect it sell about 65% of average.  
Naim?
The good folks at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle use Naim in their listening room. I always felt this retailer did things very right. Last month I was in listening to the KLH Model 5s powered by the Naim? $10k unit. Something gave those speakers a... 
Triangle Competitors?
ZUs. Look good. Sound non-involving.
