A lot of good responses here. However the State Of The Union so to apeak rests with the dealers and manufacturers. I would like to hear from some of them in this thread such as Al Goodwin of Goodwins High End, Larry Weinstein of Hollywood Sound, G...

And why should that be a surprise - You gotta love it Bill - See they do resurface in one form or another.

The only one I can think of is the Emotiva USP1 preamp that has phono and headphone, plus remote operation. Can be had for about $400.00 from the manufacturer, new in the box. At that price its worth a try.Other than that will have to see what vin...

Trust me Peter McGrath knew he was a pain in the ass and chased off more customers than he would ever win over, but that was him, no better or worse than Andy. Quite typical of the early high end scene during those early days which in manys contin...

The Hub: In Defense of Audiophilia
Perhaps Simon Yorke here has hit the nail on the head.When Henry T Ford conceived the idea of mass-production, he envisaged a world of plenty, of unlimited resources, wealth, and boundless opportunity to create profit. In time, however, we have wi... 
The Hub: In Defense of Audiophilia

Amp suggestios for maggie mg12's
I would suggest a amp such as the digital ones. Wyred 4 Sound or a PS Audio HCA 2. Main reason being the outouts do not sense the reactive load from the speakers. So these amps are not load sensitive, do not generate vasts amount of heat and have ... 
The Hub: Just call it UBANGI !
Gad I remember those and have heard them. In the late 60's the Palace Theater in Dallas, Texas was being torn down and my office building was next door to the Palace. I remember the workers taking six of these out to the huge trash container, as w...
