I think the Tariffs are going to dictate whether a lot of people stop buying and brake the habit of constantly upgrading their equipment. Once people break the habit it will be hard to jump back on the upgrade path.

I actually think the areas where I haven’t hit the end point are things that can improve what I already have. Example: record flattening device for my LPs.   
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
Screw the floor standing speaker. At $3500. I heard the PS Audio F5 stand mounted speaker and it’s beyond anything in the $3500. range I have heard. Incredible soundstage, transparency and detail. Just beyond anything one should expect from a spea...

I believe I have my system right where I need to be now. After returning from Axpona over the weekend and listening to my system again I think I’m on par with 95% of what I heard there. Was thinking while I was listening to PS Audio Fr30 speakers ...

Just returned from Axpona and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of companies displaying more affordable, albeit still costly equipment, that sounded incredible. A lot of what I heard I could live with and be happy with and call it a day. But t...

Will be interesting to see much the price of admission has changed from moderate to super high end equipment when I get to Chicago later today for Axpona. With the economy and other factors affecting luxury items sales I just don’t see why compani...

I started to see the light when every year companies are raising the prices on the same components by 15-20%. This is much higher than 5-7% inflation rate we have seen in the past 4 years. What gives? Greed!

I always seem to screw things up by upgrading when I have my system sounding the best.

It's getting harder to let the chase get me excited anymore. I used to think with my next purchase I will finally be there, and I'll have what I have been looking for. I kind of think of it as Audio delusion: a false sense of being. In reality it'...

It just doesn’t seem as exciting anymore, the chase and pursuit of something new with the expectation of the thrill it will bring.   
Channel D Seta L vs. BMC MCCI Signature ULN transimpedance phono preamps
Make sure you know what you are doing when hooking up your tone arm. XLR Pin one must never be hooked up to signal ground. Has to either be floated or attached to tone arm cable shield.

I own the BMC you’re talking about. Might be looking to let it go soon here on Audiogon.  
Triangle Art Metis Horn Speakers
My experience with Triangle Art has been a nightmare. Purchased an Apollo Cartridge directly from Tom Vu and one channel stopped working. He immediately blamed me for miss use and would not take any responsibility for the cartridge problem. After ... 
Townshend maximum super tweeters that they sell on Audiogon
