| A passing of a valued Audiogon member ID "Ferrari" Very sad. May he rest in peace. | |
| Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday... I get the feeling Oppo isn't quitting because it's unprofitable, they just want to focus on other areas. Kyocera did this in the 90's. As far as the high-end's future, I think it's secure. I've been active in audio since the late eighties. Been re... | |

"Kids generally can’t afford extensive collections of music unless their parents were rolling in the $$$".This is called "normal".

| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp I keep seeing "Never turn on a tube amp without a load". I don't think this is correct. I had my Audio Research Classic-60 recapped at an authorized ARC dealer. I saw the amp turned on sitting on the workbench but not connected to speakers. The te... | |
| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp Why not find an ARC dealer (or even ARC) and let them check it out for you? | |
| McIntosh MA5200 hum I bought a Prima Luna Prologue integrated which made hum I could hear 12 feet away thru my speakers. Sold at a $600 loss. Seems like your problem is only with your A/C. Either call an electrician and check out your power, call McIntosh for advise ... | |
| Comparable to IRS Beta Try NOLA or Genesis. | |
