Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber
Congrats on the Parsifal Ovations!! They are fabulous speakers, and very easy on the eyes as well. Enjoy!! 
Sell 3rd channel separate?
I would post it as one ad, and let the potential buyers decide whether to buy 3 together or separate them. I would certainly offer the best price to someone willing to take all 3 of them.

04-16-14: CbozdogHi Bo, you're just telling stories about a fantastic character named "Bo" in Holland, aren't you? He certainly can spin a story, can't he? He's obviously a dealer....and maybe a future politician???

^^^To make your long reply shorter Bobby, no, you would have no idea what was wrong either, just as I replied to this question on 4/7/14. Remember, Cbozdog wants to know if you walk into a unfamiliar room with an unfamiliar system if you can immed...

04-15-14: Bo1972That is the reason I only sell the best in every single price tag.Wow, how rare is that? A dealer who sells only the best at every single price point.....hmmmmmm. ;^) 
Sell 3rd channel separate?
Oddball cables are hard to sell no matter what the combination. 3, or 1, either would be a difficult sell. Just as cables with RCA's on one end and XLR plugs on the other end are a difficult sell. I think in the end you will find it easier to sell... 
Verity Parsifal Anniversary coming in 2 weeks
That will mean some great deals on closeout Ovations. That's when I picked up my Encore's for a song, just before the Ovations were released. 
Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation?
04-14-14: Livin_262002Any TT recommendations?What is your price range? Try a Basis 1400 if you can swing it. Much more revealing than Rega, VPI, Nottingham, etc. 
Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers?
What knucklehead tried to turn a speaker thread into a cable thread anyway??? 
the magic of power cords
One person's "0.2%" increase in performance is another person's "night and day". I never understood how people could quantify differences anyway. I either think it sounds better or worse. Then there are varying degrees of better or worse. How can ... 
300B or EL34 is a better well rounded amplifier
I concur with your observation about the BMW, though my VW experiences have not been good either. Hence my response about comparing a VW to a Benz. Though to be fair, I have not driven a TDI Diesel. 
300B or EL34 is a better well rounded amplifier
A VW Passat to a Benz E-350?? C'mon, really??? Not even like comparing a Beemer to a Benz? That's even more disappointing..... :(I might as well just get an Onkyo receiver, see to me, that would be like comparing a Passat to an E-Class Benz. 
300B or EL34 is a better well rounded amplifier
Jeez, this thread makes me wish I didn't just buy a VAC PA 35/35 EL34 tube amp. ;^)Maybe one day a 300B SET amp will be in my room, but I'm probably going to need the prices to come down on them and/or maybe some different speakers too......we'll ... 
Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig
Biggest mistake I ever made was going cheap on a digital scale to set up an expensive cartridge. Some cheap $10 weighs anything scale with a flat pan, instead of a $80 one specifically designed for stylus'. Long story short, I snapped the cantilev... 
T400 or t800
I've only owned the T400, and I thought it sounded very good for a SS amp. That was almost a decade ago though. Recently I was looking at a T800, as a local gent was selling one, but the lowish input impedance sent me looking in another direction....
