| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? I was just out of college and flat broke, so all I had was a crappy boombox. As soon as I really started making money, sadly nearly 8 years later, I immediately started assembling a good stereo. The rest, as they say, is history. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever KR Audio Antares integrated, weighed a ton, used crazy expensive tubes and broke fairly quickly. And a Supratek Syrah, I read all the rave reviews and this thing showed up and it was a poorly built piece where obviously all the designer care about... | |

| Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range I was loaned a Synthesis Audio Magnum integrated amp from Deja Vu Audio a few weeks back while my amp was in for service. It sounded great a nice balance of SS clarity with a touch of softness from the 6922 input stage. Nice looking too as all Ita... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Hey just to throw this out there as it sounds like you are having fun, have you tried pairing the Cary preamp with the Krell amp? Might be interesting to listen to, I am a firm believer in tubed preamps adding a lot to a system. | |

The sound is great big and bold and colorful and alive. Great synergy with my all tube system. The one downside, which doesn't bother ... | |

| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Thanks Zenblaster I was trying to avoid picking a fight, but your thoughts certainly echo my own. | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Please can we knock off the political commenary? Especially the knee jerk, mouth-foaming, "patriotic" variety? Thanks. | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Why is everything always "in decline"? Why is there constantly a "conspiracy"? BTW I am using quotation marks to be extra annoying. I look at the choice in high quality gear at various price points, a wide multitude of musical formats, and the wid... | |

| Dynaco Stereo 80 Tube Amp???? Wow sorry about that how embarrassing. I didn't look closely enough and assumed they were all talking about a tube amp. It even looks like one. Glad Joe was able to help you enjoy your amp. | |
| Recommend a tech for Sun Audio? Now I might be wrong but is Sun a second line from Air Tight? Not sure why but I feel like I remember that somehow. If that's the case then Tom Tutay in Fl would be the guy as he is the US Air Tight service tech. However as Coolhand says any compe... | |
| Dynaco Stereo 80 Tube Amp???? Um did you try google? I just googled Dynaco Stereo 80 and a ton of stuff came up. Give it a try. |
