Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
I also can present my first reaction to using a Triple AC stick in my RSA Dmitri conditioner. As Spar has said, I also got mixed results. While I agree with his assessment about more bloom in the midrange, and decreased high's and dynamics, I felt... 
VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers
Any idea how much VAC charges for the SE upgrade of the 160i? 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
02-01-15: LseUnder the most basic elements of contract law, a rejection of an offer ends the matter right there. While this is true, the seller did NOT decline the offer through official Audiogon channels. The buyer made an official offer through ... 
Best integrated up to $6000
A used VAC Sigma 160i or the previously suggested VAC Avatar.Though it depends on your speakers and room size too. If your speakers/room are up to it, an Allnic T1500 could work out very nicely too.

Lowrider57, I have been burned. You don't buy and sell on Audiogon for 15 years and NOT have a bad experience. The trick is to learn from your mistakes, and become an enlightened consumer. Still nothing is totally safe, I got burned about a month ... 
AMR DP-777, what am I missing ?
Can't argue with that logic David! LOL!

While spinning Licorice Pizza, I don't feel the need to work on the transport side or the DAC side. Spin an LP and forget about all of that digital hash. Why invest mega bucks on digital gear to try and beat your inexpensive analog rig? Just buy m... 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
Wow, I see a lot of people don't understand how this Audiogon system works at all. I'm not saying that I agree with the system, but there is a BIG difference between refusing an offer and declining an offer. Do some research, find out how the syst... 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
Dougmc, no, when you click on the "make an offer" button through Audiogon, you are committed to buy for 48 hours, or until the seller declines or makes a counteroffer. Whichever happens first. If you back out, you are charged a $19 fee from Audiog... 
Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first..
According to Audiogon rules, yes, you are obliged to buy for 48 hours, the offer is declined, or counteroffer made when making an offer. Offline contact with the seller/buyer has no bearing on the official offer. Sort of like things said off the r... 
Describe ube sound vs solid state
It's a shame you can't listen for yourself Keith, as that is really the only way to know what you like best. I have tried many Mullards, Amperex, Telefunkens, Siemens, as well as current production tubes from Psvane, Gold Lion, etc. Just as you wo... 
Describe ube sound vs solid state
So are you currently using the Mullard 10M tubes or not Keith?While I have not specifically heard the 10M, I have owned and still do own quite a few Mullard tubes. Very sweet and musical, but not resolving enough for me. They may work better with ... 
Describe ube sound vs solid state
Audiolabyrinth, once again, I find your posts confusing. Are you currently using Mullard 10M tubes or not?You claim they are 'musical bliss', and that they are the 'best money can buy', then you mention that those are the tubes that you "plan" to ... 
AMR DP-777, what am I missing ?
David, I need to hear a LOT of toys. Too many toys, not enough time/money!!Very little Vitus gear over here in the States. That would be the most difficult find of those that you mention.

Things in life have a way of working out if they are meant to be. Enjoy the music, and let us know if the wife lets you keep them.
