Air Tight ATM-3, ATM-1 or Thalmann modded CJ Premier Fives?

Is there a market for the Dennis Had/ Cray Audio Tuned Pipe design Speakers
Sorry that wasn't very nice of me and I would imagine there would be interest. I used to have a pair of Soliloquy 5.3's solid speakers and very nice looking. They are pretty old designs though so not sure how much you might get but the 8.2 was the...

Network Audio Player - need some basic advice

I second or 3rd or whatever the Auralic Aries Mini I think it's great and not just for the price. Upgrade the wall wart power supply to a linear supply like the Sbooster, around $300 and run it to a good outboard DAC and you have a very good sound...

I dislike the newaudiogon category menu layout
I agree its a bit of a pain in the butt and always nice to see ebm’s insightful comments :p. I recommend putting some music out pouring a glass of your favorite beverage and just relax, chill and enjoy the music. Cheers! 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
gwalt thanks for the update and glad the amp is working out so well! Jadis is a brand I will continue to lust after from afar but good to know it's good as advertised. Happy listening! 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation

What to do with audio Magazines
I finally to the great relief of my GF recycled a couple hundred audio mags about 5 years ago and never looked back. However I recently re-subscribe to Stereophile it was impossible to say no to $7 a year for two years! And it's been nice having m...
