| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Yes some people are gullible and some are not. I think most folks are gullible, not just audiophiles, it's human nature.A simple survey....how many of you guys are married?I rest my case. ;^)Thanks folks, don't forget to tip your bartenders a... | |
| Ypsilon Phaethon Looks interesting, what is the price on this unit?Nevermind, I just found out. $25K, that's a bit out of my reach. | |
| Pass Labs X2.5 or Krell KAV-280p? WWYD? What would I do? I would buy the best tube preamp that I could afford.Since you wish to limit yourself to SS though, I would look long and hard for a Klyne 7 series preamp. Hard to find on the used market, but when it comes to SS, hard to beat for... | |

| Am I too cynical? Not really cynical, maybe naive. I see that you are new here, welcome.I stopped leafing through the glossy rags many years ago, when I realized they were nothing more than expanded advertisements.Pretty pictures, specs may be helpful, but the read... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought Mark Levinson No. 38S preamp, after reading a rave review from John Atkinson. Worst preamp I ever heard. I know, system synergy, personal tastes, yada-yada. My wife, who normally ignores my toys, even commented that her car radio sounded better. H... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? oregonpapa,Poor choices for an analogy, since in 2008 both the Corvette and the 911 twin turbo were part of the Chevrolet and Porsche lines respectively, and were more expensive than a sedan and the Boxster back then too..I don’t believe at any po... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? You are comparing the price of a REF-3 to the REF-30? Ha ... that's not a fair comparison. The 2008 price of a REF-3 needs to be compared to the price of a new REF-6. Why? Why is it not fair? Look, this is simple, not complicated. Throw out all ... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please There's a Prima Luna Dialogue integrated on AudioMart at $1500 if anyone is interestedDo you mean Audio Asylum Trader? I see one listed for $1,595 on Audio Asylum Trader, but not on any of the Audiomarts. All sites are great options, IMHO. | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? I do find much less of these annoying bottom feeders on the other audio sale sites. These boards are heavily modified, so do a little work and you can find them. Ads are still free, sort of like Audiogon of many moons ago.Of course traffic is much... | |
| Vintage Krell Amp... Which would you choose? KSA-250. Back when it was pure class A, none of this sliding class A BS!Whatever amp you get, make sure all the caps get replaced, or have been replaced recently, with documentation. | |

My last post was deleted!Heavy moderation here, must be someone throwing some money Audiogon's way to make things look as they wish.oregonpapa, you had any of your posts deleted? I doubt it. Maybe ARC is on the ... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? oregonpapa, no need to be so defensive for ARC. We all know that you love ARC. As I mentioned in my first post, ALL high end companies are following this business model. Perhaps due to the lesser numbers of audiophiles, and the lack of desire to c... | |
