| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! Yes, that Chord unit is ugly and stupidly designed. YUK! | |
| Front Row Seat Power Cord? My friends and I prefer GroverHuffman Pharaoh and Empress power cables. Typically, my friends have 6 cables (I have 9) in our systems depending on amount of equipment. His site partially explains the unique and patented design (he wrote and subm... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! This is an ugly version of Mac gear. I agree with you. A Kalista CD Player and Shanling CD Player are the opposite as classy modern. Jadis, Goldmund, older Woo Audio, etc. are all examples of attractive CD Players. For another less attractive but... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... @krelldog In Los Angeles and on-line, I've sold several higher end pieces to young men and couples in their late 20's and 30's. I sold an EAR 890, EAR Acute, Synergistic Research Atmosphere XL, SR cables, Bryston BIT-20, etc. all to younger peopl... | |

| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update I have no problem with people wanting to listen to their music in solitary positions. My best two friends and several other friends are single and deserve to listen as they want to. The caveat being that I want anyone listening with me in my liste... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go My Brooks Berdan custom modified SME IV tonearm. Both fortunately and unfortunately, he fitted it with the thinnest silver Cardas wiring, shot closed foam in the armtube for elimination of resonance and epoxied both ends of the tonearm and RCA box... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update @mikelavigne Similar response except I never want to retire. Married 42 years (I'm younger). My wife demands season opera tickets as she doesn't like to listen to it at home (or even on 75" 4K TVs). Plus, i am an amateur recording engineer with... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update @drbarney1 I was so flustered every time I had guests over (often) in my new custom listening room listening to giant headphone (not as bad as electrostats) Legacy Focuses. I finally sold them and switched in my living room Sig IIIs. Great. Then I... | |
| Holy Holostages!! Krissy is a very nice person. I had her late husband’s products all over my listening room. It altered my sound in a way that became annoying so I sold them. Maybe her new iteration is a success. I have moved on and now employ Von Schweikert VR9 ... | |
| Looking for my End Game Speaker Your budget and sound tastes require you to audition speakers with your system (especially amps). Von Schweikert is coming out with a new speaker besides their Endeavor which is probably in your price range (80% of the VS high end sound). Also, ... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? @bdp24 Wow, J. Gordon Holt. I did not consider him as much as a reviewer as the authority on sound reproduction. I am probably one of a few music lover audiophiles who when I had the opportunity, to install activated carbon bass filtering in my cu... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? Among biased reviews for maintaining publishing/ad revenues, reviewers with alternate music/listening sensibilities and a systematic approach to audio equipment, I cannot wholeheartedly agree with most reviews. There are some products I own that... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? After 50+ years of using tube amps, my end game at lowest (not just cheapest but best for money) are the Westminster Labs REI monoblocks for $33,900. Compare to Vitus, Boulder, Griffin, CH Precision, etc. Small, powerful, shortest paths with few... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? @aquint I respect your comment as Magicos maybe a good choice for a reviewer to evaluate most aspects of sound reproduction in testing of equipment. As to listening for pleasure, I demure. I mentioned my dislike upon hearing so many of Magicos... |
