I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
Yeah this looks like someone I would go see.........(rolls eyes).https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2015/02/18/get-nasty-with-blowfly-at-ralphfest 
Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.
My stories are mild in comparison to some I have read here. I say mild because it didn’t cost me anything. There is a Paradigm dealer in my State that has a pair of Paradigm 9H’s on the floor. I had read a lot about this speaker and wanted to hear... 
Can’s Holger Czukay Dead at 79
Wow, thanks for the thread guys, I have never heard of Can but I will now. Much to explore here. 
Whoa, just ran across Mr. Mark Whitfield and his band
Can't argue with that version dweller, especially with Jaco in the background. 
Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction?
+3 for the Ayre C5xeMP. It's a real nice machine! Forget the Oppo mods. 
How "Tribal" are we?
I have never been one to subscribe to a particular group. That includes clubs and organizations. I shun labels and prefer to keep an open mind. I don't have horn speakers but would welcome the opportunity to listen to a good system that uses them.... 
My Home Speakers, My Car, and Me...The Ballad of What's Going Wrong?
Have you ever been in a busy restaurant that has hard surface walls and ceiling with no sound absorption? The voices from everyone talking bounce all over the room and make for an uncomfortable cacophony, at least to me. It's hard to relax with al... 
Incredible deal on incredible amp
I think it boils down to what people are looking for. I don’t normally sell much here but recently sold three components that all went rather quickly. In each case the buyer had a specific reason for wanting my items. I also purchased some items s... 
How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017?
Thanks for asking Dave. To clarify, my comparison of the Spring DAC's overall performance is as compared to my previous DAC. The comparison I wish to make is between the Ayre vs. Aurender (CD vs. Tidal Streaming). The Oppo has not been used thus f...

"falcon--please report what you think of the Holo here, or if more appropriate, in a separate thread, when you get it up an runnin.’ "Per request by stfoth, I now have the Holo Audio Spring up and running for about a week now. Before I share my co... 
power
The key is, how can you know what "enough" power is? I read an article recently that discussed the power requirements of transients. It could be a quick slap of a snare drum or a tympani, really any sound that is instantaneous can cause the speake... 
$35K to spend, how will you build a system?
Jolly,Lol! What a well written story and that hook at the end just makes me want to hear more. I look forward to your next installment.

"Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid There's no hiding in memoryThere's no room to avoid "  Nice find, always one of my favorites as well. Enjoy!  
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
I can't speak to balanced power conditioners as a whole but my BPT has separate plugs for amps and front end equipment. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your question. I also cannot speak to tube gear as everything I use is solid s... 
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
I have a BPT 2.5 Signature Series and my system is dead silent. I just checked U.S. Audio Mart. This is the unit I would have purchased had I been able to find one used. I get your funds situation but this is an excellent buy. http://www.usaudioma...
