How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
The UHQR release of Aja is limited to 30,000 copies and are still in stock so is it safe to say less than 30,000?  ; )  
Test
@rvpiano  Thanks for sharing your excitement over this album.  I don't often listen to classical music but I am on track 10 and boy what a treat.   I checked my level and the dbs are mostly in the low 70s with the peaks hitting low 80s which see... 
What say you: Is this fair, or AITA?
@mgrif104  +1 for oldrooney's comments I completely empathize with you here while I have not had the same thing happen to me.  It is clear that it is not about the money and you want to do the right thing but feel violated, for lack of a better ... 
Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.
@kds Since you seem to be pretty open to possibilities, what about an Audio Research REF 75 stereo amp plus their REF 3 preamp?  A guy in CAN has both here for sale.  They are already at reasonable prices and he is accepting offers.  Both of these... 
Rega reference belt disappointment
@neversatisfied  Here's the contact info with phone I have spoken with them several times and alway patient and helpful.  I am embarrassed that I cannot remember his name or home country but one of the main gentlemen there has an accent and is s...

Rega reference belt disappointment
+1 contacting Rega I don’t think bimmerlover Is worried about his precious time or he would not have given you a sincere response because it’s true many people do that. They don’t exhaust their options for a true resolution before coming to the f... 
Integrated that blew you away
Audio Research GSi 75 It is a wonderful integrated that I only gave up as my Wilson Sophia 1s needed more power in my large space.     with the beautiful KT150 sound and the excellent on board DAC and phono, you are all set  
B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness?
@onehorsepony  I know the feeling.  I had the opposite experience of what everyone said I should have with a bright sound.  I have Wilson Sophia 1 that everyone, friend, dealers and Wilson say have a brighter presentation with the titanium invert...

Here's a favorite of mine in each category Petty Country - A country music celebration of Tom Petty Ryan Adam's cover of Taylor Swift's 1989 album  
Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised?
I am with everyone else here....very odd!!  Unclear description of used speakers being purchased but not wanting to name the mfg....doesn't seem to be a mfg issue.  Also, any speaker I have ever had from cheap to expensive would have had to suffer...

Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2
@rock112  the toe-in appears good in your picture;  I think the optimal position strategy varies by manufacturer but I would think it would be similar...not sure about that;  Regardless, with Wilsons they toe-in quite a bit.  They have mostly flat... 
Sonus Faber Amati Tradition or Serafino G2
@rock112  Glad they are working out so well!  Having speakers you truly love as the hub of your system makes this journey so much more enjoyable.  As you experienced with the upgraded streamer the possibilities for improvements are endless and aw...
