DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3?
@audition__audio  Peace brother. I have been something of an ass and you have reacted like a gentleman. I apologize and will not say a negative word to you or about you if I can possibly help it.   
DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3?
@avanti1960  I appreciate your comment. Mine likely have 50-75 hours. I thought they sounded best with the OEM cheap standard-issue spikes rather than with the Gaia footers I later tried and kept installed but I have beautiful/expensive walnut ha...

Hi Jim. It is apparent from your Agon marketplace feedback that you started out selling only tubes through Feb of 2012 and then disappeared for four years before selling audio gear other than tubes (mostly Analysis Plus cables) in March of 2016 an...

@fsonicsmith   Wow!  Dealer has just been outed.  Scandalous indeed.  This must be the tribe of big secrets. I can't tell if you are being sincere or sarcastic but no worries either way. No scandal. IIRC, there is not set policy here on this Bo...

I am guessing your main tribe is this https://auditionaudio.net/ If I am correct, why have you not identified yourself in your profile as being in the industry Mr. Jim Sautter?

Different tribes I guess What is your preoccupation with "tribes"? Just how do you define "tribe". I see from reviewing your past posts that you use the term often such as here; Somehow I doubt that. If this were true you should mention your ...

I own a pair of DeVore O/93’s and can strongly recommend them. I’ve yet to hear the “what they got wrong” part of them… However, you rarely see them on the used market and there are plenty of reasons for that. As for the, “narrow baffles, more in...

They are much less offensive than other speakers on poor recordings. This too is not a positive attribute. I think that this is the main reason we all preferred the more linear sound of OTLs on these speakers. One of the S'Phile reviewers recen... 
Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers?
I can only tell you that I too own B&W 805M's purchased at right around the same time as you did-1994 to maybe 1998-I just remember that my two sons were still young. I will never forget buying them at Progressive Audio on High Street, on tOSU... 
Garrard 301 motor and rumble
A year later and I am all caught up on this thread- amazing the twists and turns an audio forum takes.  Well...my issue persists and with the additional time, I deduce that its the motor sending vibration up the shaft and to the pulley where it ...

This is going downhill. I am sorry if my reference to your two friends upset you-that was not necessary on my part. But my point was that you have not owned or apparently listened to the speakers at issue. As to proof of my ownership, just go to m...

I thought you were dead!  Sorry but not going to bite.  First you post something that is indefensible, and then when I respond you accuse ME of trolling? I think it is safe to say that you can not respond with anything substantive and that it w...

I have 2 friends which owned both the O/93 and O/96 DeVores. They replaced them both with speakers which conform more to the current standards of design. First order crossovers, narrow baffles, more inert cabinet construction, etc. It didnt take ... 
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
I have really been enjoying the Vivid Audio Kaya S12 speakers.  They are small speakers with matching stands ($9,700 with stands).  I have to say they are a slice of pure heaven.  They have an uncanny sense of presence and amazing imaging with "r... 
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
This forum..... When the pundits post "try ________" I am reminded of an Arby's sign advertising "try our new New York corn beef Reuben".  The truth; it is not the role of a DAC, nor is it realistic to expect any DAC to provide holography, air, ...
