Critical oppositions made using inadequate equipment.
Yes it's possible but only up to a point which is a good thing. If you have a good source your system will continue to improve and reveal more as you build around it.  The same holds true if it's a crappy source and great speakers or whatever comp...

@tablejockey I went on their website looking for that fire hazard err power cable, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this news. Looks like wisely they stopped making them. 
LTA Ultralinear vs SET amps
I agree with Larry DHT's in a pushpull configuration can sound pretty special. I'm currently listening to a pushpull 2a3 amp with vintage Acrosound transformers and it sounds spectacular with 93db sensitive speakers.

I was unaware of his passing and also his background in the defense industry. RIP Pierre. 
Premature gear defenestrations
LMAO. Also I've never, that I know of, thrown a piece of gear out a window. 
Sonus Faber vs Wilson
What amp are the Wilson's being driven with? I know the Diablo is a large heavy amp but would you be able to drag it over to your dealers? 
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
I was born in 1969 I believe that makes me GenX and I at least caught the Dead 40some times in the 80s and 90s. And I don't feel I've missed out on much I can listen to music recorded in the 60s and 70s whenever I want. 
THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME
Just wondering how much could the tax on the profits of two Primalunas a pair of Klipsch and some Jolida piece be? I get that it sucks but if you can't prove your loss just pay up. Maybe if the IRS had actual funding they wouldn't need to go after...

Sorry I skimmed right over the based in CA selling the amp for someone in Mass part yes that is extremely shady much more so than the grey market aspect.

The Volit's were of course designed for tubes but can work with SS too there is a guy who posts on Reditt a lot who's run a pair of Rivals with mostly SS amps, here's a link to his latest post:https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/or1jku/ne...

I think you are right that kind of info has to be in the ad, but I'll also say the seller is not a total scumbag.  At least he did disclose the situation to you in the follow-up a waste of time sure but not an outright lie.
