| Deals Gone Bad Very little EBay for me. I only buy from trusted places like Ali Express. 😝. No actually I haven’t bought from EBay in a decade and never from Ali Express. | |
| McIntosh Sonus Faber love affair, alternatives? I’ve been waiting on a pair of SF speakers for a while now and I’m hoping they will sound great with either my Hegel H390 or my PS Audio BHK 300’s. My dealer is hoping they don’t and that I’ll buy some Mac separates from them. | |

I have an H390 and it sounds great on my KEF Reference 5’s, The Hegel is $6k and the Mac is $8k. Why did you pick these to power $2.5k speakers? The “rule of thumb” that I grew up with is ... | |
| John Mayall has passed away @mashif I have about a dozen John Mayall albums and I definitely agree with you, A Hard Road is excellent! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Phish, Evolve. Great album. | |
| You're not a true audiophile unless... Like many others, I’ve been listening to music since the early sixties. I had one of those suitcase record players that I traded for a mismatched pair of tube amps. Then I found Halfler kits and there was no going back! I have bought, swapped and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just listened to Judy Arafat, Con Alma A Tribute To Dizzy Gillespie. I really enjoyed it. | |
