Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
I agree that it is important to call out those such as this retailer. However, it is at least as important to not lump Coda Technologies in with these thieves. A quality company does not deserve to take a hit to their hard earned reputation throug... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Trelja, I am interested to hear what you think of how it sounds. Please move forward with making this happen. An observation of just the preamp and then one of both amp and preamp together would be good, if you can work that out.  
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio
I never realized Roger Russell invented audio. Is he a distant cousin of Al Gore or something?  
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Roger believed in his product enough to let you hear it for yourself. To test the device in question. IOW, he put up. You, on the other hand, irrespective of the circumstances, HAVE NOT put up. It is that simple. Everything else is chest thumping.... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
I am truly sorry about your financial situation. You state that giving a fair shake at your expense hasn't been a priority, and I can empathize with that. On the other hand, you haven't, for one second, avoided burning him at the stake at every tu... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
Bo's total lack of self awareness precludes him from believing he hijacks anything.  
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
You know, way back on September 12, Roger offered to send one of his pre amps to Kosst to audition under no obligation to buy. He flatly turned him down. Then he has spent the next month berating him and proclaiming that there is no way his produc... 
Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass
Don't change so many things at once. You will never know what is causing the issue and what is not. I would not get rid of the Pass amp until I know what the new pre amp is doing. After you have a handle on the pre, change your speaker cables. If ... 
Vandersteens, PSB or something else?
I agree that the Legacy brand deserves recognition and certainly represent a good value. My point is that calling both speakers Focus is confusing. They are not the same. Just a bit of history about these models. The original Focus was an extensio... 
Vandersteens, PSB or something else?
Dave, why do you insist on calling the Signature SE the Focus Signature? Aren't you a dealer for the Legacy brand? The Focus and Signature are 2 different models. It is pretty stunning to me that you carry the line and don't know the names of the ... 
Which direction?? - KCI Silkworm ICs
Why not just email KCI and ask them? 
Mid grade Integrated amp choices
I don't know what your budget is, but there is an LSA Statement for sale here currently for $2300. That is an excellent integrated amp with plenty of power and finesse. No affiliation with the seller. 
Tekton Impact
Base price for the Electron is $2750. For some reason they are showing the upgrade price when you first open the Electron page. Click on the drop down menu by the price and you can see all of the prices.

The meeting was absolutely a lot of fun. It is always good to meet people with the same interest and varying degrees of experience. Got to hear some new music that piqued my interest and hear some gear that I have never experienced. Looking forwar... 
Directionality of wire
All 14 inch pizzas taste exactly the same. As long as they have the same amount of dough, sauce, cheese and the same number of pepperoni. A bias controlled double blind test will confirm this.  A proper test would require 100 consecutive correct c...
