New Dynaudio Heritage Special..?..!
@maholl50 At a similar price range one might cross shop with the Harbeth 30.2 and priced above these two are Wilson Audio Tunetots. There are pros and cons and I have experience with each. No affiliation with any of the three companies. The Herita... 
Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed?
@audition__audio What a fine post. I appreciate where you are coming from and it was a kindly worded statement that truth matters. I suspect it will be met with the usual but I appreciate your words. Peace. 
Uber expensive repair at United Radio
Listen, I'm a proud American but we did spawn the Pontiac Aztec and the Ford Pinto. 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
Whatever sounds best to your ears should guide your decision. With that said, I do not believe the XA25 is enough amp to sufficiently drive either. If that is the amp you demo'd with the SabrinaX, then that might explain some of your impressions. ... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@niodari I was just comparing the question you asked as a question that shouldn’t require an answer.@atmasphere builds some of the more highly regarded tube amplifiers in the world. I am not a customer of his and I have never owned an Atmasphere a... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
@niodari Your question for @atmasphere is the equivalent to asking the Dalai Lama if he understands what it means to be enlightened.  
Best best ballads that refer to a US State

Boulder 2150

Upscale Audio and Primaluna
@upscaleaudio Even though it takes waaaay too much time for someone trying to run a business, I know I speak for others in thanking you for your posts.I don't know about everyone else but I wouldn't have the patience to be a high end dealer like K... 
Upscale Audio and Primaluna
@jumia Its ok if you don’t want to do business with Upscale, Kevin or even if you just don’t want Primaluna. There is some better gear out there and there is a whole lot more gear out there that is inferior to Primaluna. It’s very unfair though th... 
Where are the young audiophiles?

Upscale Audio and Primaluna
@rocray You are indeed correct, that is the right way to be a successful sales person. BUT, for the sake of the discussion, what if someone called their audio dealer and said "I have a Humperdink Integrated" and I am interested in a pair of the "X... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
@sokogear B&O was certainly a function follows form company through the years and I agree with you regarding their sound quality. I will admit I had a B&O turntable in college anchored by a pretty mediocre receiver driving some old Frazier...

Stereo Times review on Audio Note UK DAC 3.1/II just went live
@cleeds No worries, I'm glad you did. That's what a community like Audiogon is supposed to be about, friendly dialogue, so I appreciate that you took the time to post. Have a great day and if you haven't met "this" particular Mike Kay, pick up the...
