| Speakers good for close to wall placement Surprised that nobody has mentioned Dutch & Dutch 8C. Stereophile Class A rated, designed to be close to the back wall, and eliminate the need for an amplifier. | |
| Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options Really like the Dennis Had recommendation. Decware and/or Audio Mirror might work for you also. Rogers is USA made, but beyond the budget. | |
| Your Pick Between These Two... I have heard both, although with different equipment. If I had to choose between these two, I'd pick the Joseph Audio over the Magico. | |
| Chicago-area dealer recommendation I am in Kansas City, the two channel audio wasteland of the central states. Many trips to Chicago to listen to different things. There are some great people and great companies there. Mick at Quintessence Audio is at the top of the list. He even b... | |
| A secondary system to enjoy. It is a great idea. I have taken to the smaller form factor components. It started with a Benchmark AHB2 amp I snagged here used. I added the LA4 linestage and the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. For now, I’m driving a pair of Dynaudio Special 40. It reall... | |
| Anybody else not receiving daily forum updates from Audiogon? I enjoy reading the daily popular threads, well most of them . . . sans kenjit. Just wondered if anyone else had or is experiencing this. I have to assume that it’s completely automated, requiring no staff. On a positive note, the e-mail came toni... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge volume control question from newbie Thanks, Erik. I was trying so hard to accomplish this on the Mytek, I didn’t consider configuring it in Roon. | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 on all the time? There is a video of Nelson Pass saying to turn off his amps when not in use. I believe it's the video Steve Guttenburg shot where Nelson gives a tour of his listening room, but it might be a different one. | |
| Suggestions to replace Aurender A10 with something Roon compatible. Thank you for your replies. Bryston an Cary are two brands with which I’ve had no exposure. However, I will research both. | |

| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? Thank you all for your responses. As a small business owner, I want to champion and support small business. I love the idea of the little guy innovating in his garage or basement workshop. However, in such a fickle industry, and with such high ... | |
| Why did Parasound discontinue the Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifiers? Thank you all for your responses. Sounds like I should consider waiting for John Curl's new monoblock design. Anyone know when it might be available for purchase? | |
| Advice wanted for a new seller listing equipment I want to thank you all again. I created seven listings today. Three have sold and been paid, and I have an agreement on another, but I want to work out shipping details before I accept the offer. I think selling four of seven is a success for les... | |
| Advice wanted for a new seller listing equipment Thank you all for your comments. I’ve been working on my copy for the ads and I greatly appreciate your advice. | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 If your friend can find one, I highly recommend a Cayin A-88T, first generation (not MK II or MK III). An audio person I trust told me that if I ever found one, to grab it. I found one in mint condition for $900. It's a tank and I love the soun... |
