Sabai, with all due respect you are mistaken. The case of Tinn vs EMM (please note it was Tinn suing EMM, not the other way)." OPINION AND ORDER EMM's motion 149 for summary judgment against Tinn's breach of oral agreement claim is GRANTED. EMM's ...

Sabai, I do not know Mr. Tinn nor do I have any affiliation other than as a customer of Playback Designs. I am aware of the lawsuit between Tinn and EMM from a number of years ago. For you to bring that up in this thread is patently unfair and has... 
Is anyone interested some Sonus Faber Amatis?
Oh let's see....you just signed up within the last 24 hours, you have no sales feedback and you are not following sales protocol.....what else you got???? LOL!In all seriousness, this screams scam!!

A couple of other things to check. Check with your amp/preamp what the maximum input voltage allowed for the input you are utilizing. While I have not measured the output of the MPD3, my Nagra has 3 inputs that allow up to 2v while the 4th input a...

MPD3 user here and mine is dead quiet, connected to a Nagra 300i using Cardas Clear series cables.If you turn it off and then on does the rustling remain? Is it coming from both channels? What source are you feeding to the MPD3? Computer or transp... 
Is good customer service about dead?
luvs2listen/Vapor, why don't you just take care of this situation? Imagine if you had rectified this problem over a month ago and then you had spent that time to fullfill your stated order backlog.I also find your cheerleading/shilling in another ... 
Is good customer service about dead?
In general, I believe excellent customer service to be on the rise. Limiting the discussion strictly to audio, I find that today's successful audio retailers have the common trait of terrific customer service. Those of us old enough to remember, t... 
Is good customer service about dead?
Amazing! With the deletion of the old thread, I was mistakenly comforted that there had been a resolution between JPL and Vapor/Luvs2listen/Aire. Apparently not.Now its out there alleging that Vapor cant afford to provide a refund due to lack of f...

No hiss here, dead quiet. I had my MPD3 connected via XLR (currently running single ended) and it was a black background to say the least. For your reference, I use a Cardas clear M power cable into a Running Springs Audio Jaco conditioner. The pr... 
Safest way to trade ?
Audiofeel, ok, whatever. You just joined Audiogon this month so yes, your money is fake. You have not had time to conclude any transactions here since the maximum amont of time you have been a member is 10 days.As far as how not to get burned, you... 
Safest way to trade ?
Well, you have no feedback either audiofeel. Additionally, you are in France, you say the item is in Greece....quite an adventurous first transaction for you!If I were cynical, I would guess that this is a troll thread. 
VAC 160i, any experiences
I never ran the phi200 with a good preamp, only direct from a dac. With that disclaimer, I believe you would be hard pressed at low volumes to differentiate the 2. The phi200 certainly is a great amp, the 160 an extraordinarily well thought out in... 
VAC 160i, any experiences
No problem whatsoever. The 160i is legit, use the 4 ohm taps and enjoy.

I use a Playback Designs MPD3, I finally posted my main system for those keeping score at home. 
Best Integrated, period.
I've had some good ones and enjoyed each of them immensely. Integrateds at various price points and for specific purposes i.e.:system matching, in no particular order: McIntosh MA2275 (not awesome), BAT VK300X SE (very good), Cary SLI80 F1 (twice,...
