I have requested the correction from Audiogon customer service.

Warrenh,> Kind of like having a sports car shoot out and leaving out Ferrari, don't you think?One last time...we had what we had, end of story. Please don't presume to know what I think. As for the Exemplar 3910, I have heard that one at length...

Tedd1,I made it clear that this was somewhat informal and that we used what the participants owned. "Glaring omission" suggests to me that we were somehow negligent. Sorry if we couldn't do everyone's personal favorites.

OK, I have just received an email from the owner of the Denon 5910 and must apologize. This was NOT an APL modded unit. According to its owner, it had an Underwood Level 1 modification. I'd like to blame it on the single malts, but I wrote down th...

Alex,Thanks very much for your post. I am still trying to clarify exactly what we auditioned. As I said previously, I am reasonably certain that it was a Denon 5910, so now I'm wondering if it was actually an APL mod. I will get the information as...

Ayre C-5xe Break In Period?
dfowler31,I'll have to get hold of a few DVD-As. As yet, I do not own any (unless you count the test disk that came with my Acura!). Apart from the two that you mention, can you recommend any others? Thanks. 
Ayre C-5xe Break In Period?
Dwalp,And "sound good out of the box" it did! It's fascinating...I could hear the changes - and some definitely not for the better - as time elapsed. At about 10 hours, for example, things were definitely harsher than they should be, but all of th...
