| Fee for home audition In the past when I had a local dealer anything that was demo or used, I was able to do like others have mentioned to take home over the weekend. I would never of expected to take a new product home out of the box because then they can’t get retail... | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations I have had great success with various Audio Research separates and feel you owe it to yourself to give them a shot.

| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? This level equipment is beyond my league but I had a couple interesting demos that may be helpful for you. I live in Memphis and met the owner of EgglestonWorks. Jim had his Ivy Signature SEs in his office and gave me a demo. I don't recall the ... | |
| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ @adsell It seems you are still enjoying your Sophia 1; Did you ever demo anything again or bring another speaker home?

| What CDs to buy Thanks for all the ideas. I have lots to explore : ) | |
| What CDs to buy @kota1 Makes sense....just wasn't sure if there were particular labels or anything to focus on or if it was just as random as vinyl regarding what release had the best sound | |
| What CDs to buy @vonhelmholtz Thus far with only about 20-30 CDs played, I cannot appreciate a difference from streaming. Streaming has improved with the CD6 and Qobuz over Amazon. I have found that newly recorded music streamed sounds just as good as vinyl, ma... | |
| What CDs to buy @tomcy6 I do stream a lot of different and new music but was not sure about purchasing CDs simply based on this. I had been under the impression that there were certain CDs to focus on but am admittedly ignorant about CDs and sound quality. | |
