Well, I guess I am one of the Porsche "10%"ers 
Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
I have Q3s and have moved to an integrated recently. I auditioned the Hegel 360 amongst a few others. I ended up with the latest Octave se and I could not be happier. It seems to sound better each time I play it which with a 5 month old is not nea...

Tube integrated
I have the Octave and I enjoy it very much. Plenty of power and control without the overtly tube "bloom". I came from very high quality ( and very expensive ) ss separates and the Octave while different, it is very musical and organic sounding. It...

Charge for TT setup?
I purchased a table from my dealer and they sent their set up tech over to my home to install it and set it up. He took his time and did a great job. A year or two later I purchased a new cartridge and they handle it the came way. In both cases, I...

The Lawyers Have Taken Over Audio
Not sure why many are being so hard on both Gideon as well as his clients. I have experience with many very wealthy clients/friends. I would suggest that most are very intelligent and capable of making smart and well thought out decisions. Many mi...
