Google ads are rampant on the site
Ad blocking is making the Audiogon site almost unusable for me, most listings show sometimes over a thousand blocked ads in AdblockPlus.  I have to wait until it finishes loading all the blocked ads to navigate.       
Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
Just and update on my previous post, my ARC VSI-60 does great with my new LRS.  I guess there will be a Rogue Sphinx V3 up for sale shortly.   
Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
Sphinx V3 on the way along with a pair of LRS.  I have an Audio Research VSI-60 that I didn't think would work but after reading positive results with the I50, makes be wonder since they are probably pertty similar, so I will be able to try both.   
Has anyone noticed Monoprice Monolith speaker stands look identical to the Pangea DS-400?
Just bought my second pair, for the price sure beats moving speakers and trying to remove bluetac.  
Why did I get bounced to escrow when seller doesn't seem to have an account?
I'm noticing lots of new users with only Escrow.com payment methods.  Usually with only one item for sale and poorly written descriptions.   
Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)?
The M3si is a very special speaker and your going to have a hard time finding a suitable replacement I'm sorry to say.  I wish I had a suggestion, but I'm on the hunt myself.  Another issue is cost, your going to have to spend some serious money t... 
FYI: VPI HW-19 motors
I just replaced one, and I had to also get a brass collar from VPI to set the end play on the motor shaft to get the motor quiet enough.   If you want to ensure the good quiet motor, I would pay the premium and order it from VPI.  Hurst does not a... 
KEF LS50 or Wharfedale Reva 2 -- which would you buy?
Congrats on your new purchase!

Just a head's up, now that the Sonus Faber Venere line has been discontinued, you can pick up new stock for close to 50% off or what amounts to dealer cost.  The 1.5 and 2.0 had great reviews and while they might not be the Sonus Faber of old, the...

The top and bottom plate dimensions are identical.  Even with sales tax and shipping they still came in at $137 for me.  Nice catch/find! 
New Look for Audiogon hard to work with
Thank you for bringing back the Classic View and listening to your core users. 
Technics 1200GR Owners
Any comments on how the 1200GR compares to your main Prime rig?  I've seen a few people go from a Prime to 1200G so I'd love to know how the GR holds up. Thx! 
Martin Logan speakers
Echoing what's been said already, the VT130 will have no problem driving the Vistas and will be a great match.  Unless you want rock concert volume levels, but then you probably should be looking at other speakers if that's the case.  I have EM-ES... 
Rogue Owners Unite
New Rogue owner here. In the last few months I have bought a 99 Magnum pre and a 88 amp (Probably from one of you!). For a relatively small investment, I am extremely happy. This has been a great way to get into tube gear. I can't say anything new...
