In my initial post I did say that I had no interest in either Accuphase or Luxman. They are overpriced badly in this country, especially Accuphase, and my sound preferences do not include Japanese solid state electronics.Anyway, it appears that at...

It doesn't matter to potential buyers how they sound.Here is a joke.One man from a third world country is saying to his friend from the same country:- Recently when I was in Paris I bought there a tie for 200 euros.Another man says:- You are stupi... 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
It may not matter to me how new Rowlands sound - I don't like his attitude. This is not only about Jeff Rowland, I don't discriminate.For example, if Ralph of Atma-Sphere keeps self-advertising here like crazy in the middle of the discussions, I'l...

Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?
Listened to parts of the Gilmour's concert on youtube. No, not even close to the concerts of the past. Black women didn't help. He got old, recognizable and not bad at some moments, but..

" Live at Pompei" is available everywhere on-line. Is it digital recording? How does it sound?

I also heard good things about Octave V70SE and V80SE but heard nothing about their phono.Does VAC have tape-out, I record from vinyl? 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
In my experience, people who have good hearing do not hear differently but they might have different preferances and they might have different tolerance for distortion. For example, I don't have much tolerance for high frequencies distortion, some...

Reubent, It is not that what I have is bad. I have original Redgum RGi120 integrated , 120 good watts/ch, and Acoustech phono which is also quite good. I am just thinking of different possible upgrade paths. I also have Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacea...
