Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Mountainsong, Thanks for the heads up on Dave at Audio Doctor. Gave him a call today as I'm in the market for a DAC, interesting guy indeed. I found him to be knowledgeable, helpful and certainly energetic. Looking forward to speaking with him aga... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Marco1, Love the Sunny's story, sounds like we have a consensus for who may be the worst. Which brings me to Brf's question above, "Why not just celebrate the good shops"? That would be because business, organizations, politicians, individuals, et... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Polk432 While I've never purchased anything from avsouth in Tampa I am familiar with the store, curious to hear what your experience was. Thanks 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
The Music store in Greenfield, Ma. A TV shop offering audio as an after thought. Never works.

LFD NCSE Mk II Break In Period?
Hi Michael, thanks for reminding me to follow up on this thread. Yes, thankfully my new NCSE began to come into it own in a very obvious and to a very noticeable way, (as suggested) once it hit around 200 hrs. This was a bit surprising because eve... 
Best Integrated, period.
Frederklarson, did you get the NCSE? If so, curious to hear your impressions. Thanks, Jay

Thanks for the update Rebbi. I must admit that my question was somewhat rhetorical being a former Dulcet owner and having heard the De Cappo's on a few occasions your description is what I would have expected. I can certainly attest to the break i... 
what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?
It doesn't matter, it's tv.

So Rebbi, as a previous Dulcet owner I'm curious to hear how you are getting along with your De Capos?Thanks,Jay 
Speakers for Bryston B135 integrated
I had the Bryston B-100 with the Bryston BCD-1 cd player and Joseph Audio RM7XL speakers. Individually nice pieces however didn't care for the Bryston/Joseph Audio match. Always sounded like equipment more than humans playing instruments. The Brys... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Ok db, I'll give it up. I guess I kept hoping to hear something that would help convince me that the Oppo was worth a shot as a stand alone cd player, but alas, I didn't. You're right, enough is enough. Thanks for the Emotive tip Harri009, I've re... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Thanks Harri009 abreciate Esoteric/Ayre comparison detail and yes, you are correct in that I am looking for a player that is unrivaled or at least an obvious audible step up from my Bryston, which would be no small task as that is a very good unit... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Statman,I'm certain I've purchased literately hundreds of cds over the years and I can honestly recall on only one occasion, (for some inexplicable reason) that a disc has not played in any player I've owned, so the error correction issue for me i... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Fellas, c'mon man. Is it just me, but why is it that so many Oppo owners feel the need to mod it? And Statman, you don't care "how good it sounds" as long as it does a good job of playing scratched disc? With all due respect, that doesn't exactly ...
