LSA 20 Statement Speakers
I briefly had a pair of the original LSA statements. As others have said the enclosures were horrible. The cheap veneer was splitting everywhere on both speakers. Hopefully the new ones are better. The sound was just ok but not great. Never unders... 
Can Anyone Identify The Make of this Preamp
I believe the Red Rose Affirmation integrated was a rebadged/modified amp from a Chinese company called Dusson. Either the v6i or v8i.  
Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer
Here are a few of the warmest sounding amps  that I’ve owned that use toroidal transformers. Each had their strength and weaknesses. After trying these as well as many others i’ve settled on Audia Flight. Great amps if you can find one.   Primar... 
About users with hidden agendas
@mapman….thats exactly right. Claiming the product is the end all be all for everyone regardless of the situation. Turns out the Schiller in question has just listed his holy grail and moved on to greener pastures. Can’t say I didn’t see that comi... 
Who uses ADS Speakers
Have owned the following: l980, l1530, l620, l710, sat 7, s700, l9e and l8e. L980 and the l9e are my favorite, would love to hear the big 2030’s.  
Looking for feedback on either the Musical Fidelity M3i of Simaudio Moon i3
+3 for Moon. Had the i3.3 and upgraded to the i7. In many ways I prefer the sound of the i3.3.  
Recommendations Please: Bookshelf Speakers no Larger than 7"x12"x8"
ADS L400  
Need some advice, Vincent Audio
I have owned several well reviewed integrated amps in the 2-4K range from Yamaha, Wells Audio, Hegel, Primare, Kinki Srudio and a few others and Vincent was a real standout. I’ve owned the 236 mk, 226 mk and the 237 and liked the 237 the best. Li... 
Tube Amp Repair/Service - Minneapolis/St. Paul - ?
Tyler @ TC Tubes has done some minor work for me in the past on my tube amps and I highly recommend him. He and his wife Chelsey are probably two of the nicest people I have ever met in the industry. However, If you need work done that extends bey... 
Looking for a black brushed mental bookshelf speaker
 Perhaps you can find a used pair of Jern Audio 14ds. 
A system for my college-bound daughter
Powered speakers would be my choice as well. Peachtree m25 is similar to the audioengine which are good as well but the m25’s have bluetooth, digital inputs and phono stage. Get some stands from monoprice and a turntable and your all set.  
Yamaha vs Rotel
RME dac is an excellent choice. Now that Bluesound has roon that would be a great option as well. 
Yamaha vs Rotel
Agree with soix the Yamaha will probably sound a bit warmer, not sure if that is a good thing for your set up but I really enjoyed the 2100 in my system. I also had the R-N 803 streaming receiver and it sounded like a mini version of the 2100. Ama... 
Can you create alerts for used gear you are interested in on Audiogon?
Asked and answered in the first reply to this thread by Yogi. 
Yamaha R-N803 one of the best values in high-end audio?
@perkadin I agree with your comments on the shortcomings, I wish it had variable pre-outs as well. Having space constraints in the system it resides in the one box solution works very well and drives my Meadowlarks effortlessly. However I am curio...
