Other "silver" spk cables.....
I have a pair of Silver Audio Symphony 48's and really like them. Before that I was listening to Acoustic Zen, and some Cardas speaker cable. I felt the detail when listening with the Silver Audio was superior. A lot of what you hear is going to b... 
BAT VK-60 or Another tube amp?
Music Reference RM-200, great detail even a low volume and throws a huge sound stage. It's a hybrid amp that has gotten rave reviews. They pop up once and awhile in the low twos, but always sell fast. Good luck! 
Krell KAV 300i, How reliable is this amplifier?
I had one when they first came out and found it to be very reliable, not one problem in the two years I owned it! 
Other Tube Amps that compete with BAT 150SE
VK60SE Mono amps are very, very close, and sometimes if you are very patient, a pair will come up for sale on this very site. I have seen them for around $7000.00 for a nice pair! Well worth a listen, and the wait. 
Krell FPB Owner want to try Tube Amp or Integrated
I had a Krell KAV250---traded it for a Krell 200C and thought it was fantastic untill I auditioned a Music Reference RM-200. I wasted no time and sold my krell 200C and my KRC-3 and purchased the Music Reference RM-200 and a BAT VK50SE. I have pur...

How do Fidelios "Rank" against Virgo 3 and RX-20?
I auditioned the Virgo 3 when it came out last year. Very dissappointed--sounded like a monitor not like a full range speaker. And lets talk about room placement with the virgo--half way into your room. When you do get them placed correctly they d... 
Best CD Player for under $5,000
Electrocompaniet 
The best hybrid amp?
I would have to second the RM-200. Unreal detail, liquid smooth sound without sounding to tubey. I bought one and sold it, only to buy another one when I relized how how much emotion it brought into my living room and much I missed it!! 
Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals..
This list would not be complete without talking about a pair of Verity Audio Fidelio's. 
What speakers for $5K Used?
If you can find a pair---Verity Audio Fidelio! Midrange like you have never heard before, great detail. A very lifelike speaker with no fatigue at all, smooth. Very easy to drive and they look oh so good, very small footprint. Rear firing woofer m...

I to must retract my statement. If the ad stated "like new" then there is nothing to talk about and this thread is pointless. At this juncture the negative feedback should be removed ASAP.

To Jond, it's not about you--it's about a member who should know all about the grading scale, and chose to ignore it for personal gain and whats worse to deceive a fellow member! I think we all know the difference between new and almost new. The a...

I guess Jond would have no problem listing an item as new, but was really used! How would you feel if the shoe were on the other foot? If it's not NEW don't list it as such. Most of us are smart enough to know the difference. If this sort of decep...

If infact the cables are not new--he misrepresented the product. You need to give him negative feedback to keep everyone in check. Zero tolerance is the only way to keep up the integrity of this wonderful website that we all enjoy so much! Do the ...
