My kiseki Blackheart nightmare.
The dealer that stood by my side was HI FI sound in Minneapolis Minnesota.I can’t recommend them enough. If your looking first class service oriented dealer in the Twin cities area Hi Fi sound should be at the top of your list.  
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
It’s funny how using the right words brings out the ones those words attract the most, the haters. I’ve owned more high end amplifiers than most and currently own a pr of Mcintosh MC611 monos. They’re one of the best amps I’ve ever owned. For all ... 
SME 309 HTA Key. Does anybody know how to get one or an alternative?
danmar123Are you sure we are talking about the same thing HTA Key.? It’s not an Allen wrench.Looks more like a torx head. 
Why Audiophile Cables Might Sound Better

New Kiseki blackheart cartridge not sounding right.

WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
Bone headed questions will always be responded to with zero useful information!  
Is LP distortion the record or the cartridge?

Snell AIIIi's?? How good are they??
They are as good as they were 27 years ago. Speaker design has changed considerably with the aid computers in the last 20 years. Today’s speakers are much quicker ( faster ) than speakers from just 20 years ago. Lighter, stronger materials and lik... 
What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?
Another thing that bugs the hell out of me is when I see an ad that claims it’s only a few months old, but they don’t have the original box. This is so common with speakers. Why in the hell would get rid of the original boxes or crates for a 30-60... 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
I might be off here, but class A amps don’t drive lower impedance speakers very well either. Most class A amps aren’t stable into 2 ohm loads. Krell being one Of the exceptions.
