Hegel Design Flaw?
Couple years ago I bought brand new Hegel amp (HS4A). from the first time I plugged it in, it started to develop smell coming from the unit. In spite of my concerns and complains, Hegel kept saying it is normal and nothing should be done. Eventual... 
Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray
Garebear, just contact Anthony, he should take care of this. I totally agree with you, especially since you bought whole esoteric system, they should send you a new player. Btw how esoteric A-03 amp sounds with matching C-03 ore-amp? 
Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray
When one pay about 10-15 grand for a cd player, it should not have any noise. My first K-05 had noise that was heard from 12 feet. I am not bashing esoteric here, they build great sounding CDPs and my second K-05 is flawless, but for the price it ...

Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice
Fsmithjack, before you go with Claytons, you should check Plinius amps. Audio Surroundings sells your brand of speakers and Eric (owner of the shop) says with plinius they sound terrific.I usually take many dealers opinion with some skepticism, bu... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Sabai, John(Jmcgrogan2) is experienced audiophile who’s opinion always valued and matters. Because of people like Audiolabyrinth and some others who are consistently pushing the same product all over- the Audiogon is not the same it was. I only ho... 
Vienna Acoustics Listz impressions
I have VA Listz in my home system and totally agree with OP. For the last 15 years I had many speakers - all the way up to Sonus Faber Anniversario and Marten Bird II. The VA Listz sounds like a real music - real, 3d soundstage, imaging, dynamics,...
