| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? All the Magico haters seem to be out in force here. They can’t handle the fact that a speaker like any competent is supposed to add nothing to the sound. Magico corrects all the errors, or most of them, that other loudspeakers have. This intern gi... | |
| AR VT80SE compated to Ref 75SE amp discussion Neither. Buy their latest designs. Most of the tube worries are gone now that they use fuses instead of diodes for protection. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction He isn’t abandoning his statement products but looking to offer a glimpse of what they can do to a wider audience. The true test will be are they going to be high value at their price point. Remember most companies that produce statement products ... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction Actually I think he realizes his equipment at its price point has too much competition. Other competitors are producing products without limits and he’s not going to keep playing that game. A lot of people think his equipment is butt ugly but the ... | |
| Luxman m900u vs luxman 10x Owned both. 900U and M10x are similar sonically with the M10x having better detail and tighter bass. One thing though, both share a very polished sound that can boarder on fatiguing on the wrong speaker. A more forgiving speaker with less upper fr... | |

| Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? Looks like everything might work out after all. Package found and should be here in the next day or two. | |
| Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait? Here's an update on my package. Customs released it on 3/14/24 to FedEx and they have no idea where it is. It hasn't moved since it was released a week ago and FedEx has no idea why. Keep being told they are looking into it. I'm ready to bail on t... | |

| Brian Hoyer / In-Tone / kasa sorry, I feel your pain, but mine is a lot worse. Look for my horror story involving Brian Hoyer, Linn Kasa to be posted soon. | |
| ARC Ref 6 Tube Microphonics ARC recommends a minimum input impedance load of 20k with their preamps. You’re not getting the best out of the Ref 6 with a 9k load. Los your gain is probably too high if you have a 90db higher efficiency speakers | |
| Compliance of a First Generation Kiseki Blackheart I purchased the Blackheart and had to have it replaced 3 times. Something was wrong with the suspension. It was making a tickling sound. I finally replaced it with a different brand. My understanding is that they stopped producing the Blackheart d... | |
| Clearaudio universal tonearm re-wire. @Mijostyn That isn't reality with Clearaudio tonearm wiring. They use the finest strands of wire which are extremely fragile. It's only a matter of time before you will ever so slightly pull on it too hard it will break. Once you do that trying t... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My biggest issue when buying anything from China is the level of trust in their products. Simply put, are their parts being used genuine parts from the original manufacturer or just labeled as: Capacitors, resistors and transformers. | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! Hopefully my current pair of Focal Maestro EVO’s are it for large floor standing. I have had over 45 pairs of speakers in the past 45 years and wish I would have stopped sooner, but you only live once and I have enjoyed the ride! |
