| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I see a ton of used Mcintosh amps for sale almost brand new. But very few brands like Luxman, Esoteric etc on the used market. I spoke to a dealer who said that buyers often trade Mcintosh amps for Luxman amps. | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I was considering a McIntosh to drive my Tannoy Gold Reference Sterling speakers that I acquired for an excellent price. Thats was before I spoke to a Luxman dealer who told me that customers who buy McIntosh from him very often bring it back and ... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Dealt with Kevin a few times. He's ok. Yes he pushes Prima Luna hard, but it is good stuff. He gave me a deal on a set of speakers that was at least 30% off retail. I guess I caught him in a good mood. Most stereo shops won't deal. He will. And h... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy I have a pair of Gold Reference Sterlings that I picked up for an incredible price. They sound and look beautiful. They shine with Frank Sinatra, Julie London,Dean Martin, Jazz and Classical. Just my two cents. | |

| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Gato Audio, a Swedish company makes AB amps that will compete with almost any class A amp. They now sell factory direct with free shipping. And best of all no sales tax. Steve Guttenberg did a review recently. | |

| CD player reliability.... good and bad. My experience with cd players varies. Some have lasted some have not and some sound excellent some sound terrible. I currently have Onkyo that cost $700 with a metal loading tray and twin Wolfsen Dacs and a Naim cd player that my ears enjoy it ve... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? I’ve never heard of well known brands like Luxman or Accuphase knockoffs. Seems they would be easy to spot or the price would be the tipoff. The Chinese are making some excellent amps at very good prices. Their designs look old school and nostalgic. | |
| Craigslist Fraud I've had pretty good luck selling electronics on Craigs list. The scammers always are ones that call as soon as you post your ad. They all have the same story line with a few added touches. One thing they have in common is the cashiers check angl... | |

| Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS All carriers are blown out of the water due to the pandemic. They're doing the best they can. I worked as a courier for twenty years and I hated Christmas. Many times I came back to the station with undelivered packages because I didn't have time ... | |
