Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ
Another fascinating thread about money, and for some, the apparently critical issue of how other people choose to spend their money. For me, these power cables are of no interest, and I can’t imagine they would ever represent value to me. But by ... 
God, I hate to ask this…
I’m sorry to hear about your health issues, and pray for your recovery. I live alone and my two adult daughters Neither know anything about Audio gear or care to learn. i’ve instructed them to contact my dealer who I trust to give them good advice... 
Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon?
Yes-I thought it was my ancient computer.  
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
The OP is a man of action, that's for sure, but he's buying good stuff. I hope he enjoys his system. He also got some really sound (pun) advice from @soix and others which I hope he found useful. This forum is at its best when that happens.  
Maybe someone can enlighten me.
I've had that happen a time or two and no idea why. I think I made an observation about the effect of tariffs on the hifi business while saying I expressed no opinion about the merits of the tariff policy. Far from the vitriolic posts that are all... 
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
The great thing about YouTube is that we don't have to watch-or buy. I think the thread that was taken down was about OCD Mikey-no idea why that particular thread was taken down. These guys are in business, they have their own twist on things, whi... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
I really don’t think that’s an issue if a dealer does the job. I think your unit is like my pre-amplifier, it’s made to be modular so adding the DAC Will not be an issue. Some of the other smart people here may think that a separate component woul... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
@soix is, in my humble opinion, giving you good advice. Obviously, entirely up to you and I’m happy you are pleased with your purchase. I think it’s true that to get the full value from the very fine component you purchased, your other primary com... 
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
I recently consigned a phono  stage with TMR and it was a good experience. TMR Advised on pricing and gave me the choice of consigning the item or selling it to them outright. My equipment sold pretty quickly, and I had my money within a few days... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
Just to add to the point, if you can stomach the cost, I don't think you can go wrong with the Burmester DAC module- I think thats a mortal lock.  If you don't go in that direction, you might want to wait a while, let your 232 settle in, and make ... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
There are literally dozens of decent choices in low cost DACs From what I can tell, but I would take a look at the DAC module for your new integrated amp. Burmester doesn’t sell anything cheap, but there is something to the old saying buy once cry... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
I agree with you about Luxman- really well made stuff. What DAC are you using?  
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
Daft Punk? You should play some Merle Haggard on that fine machine. Not really a fair test though, since the Hag would sound good singing in a barrel. One thing about Burmester- their stuff is art-meticulous workmanship.   
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
That’s a good story. Nothing better to smooth out the highs during a listening session than some good Kentucky bourbon. I remember, I did a friend a pretty good favor, probably 35 years ago, and he returned it by giving me a case of van  winkle wh... 
Is Burmester 232 worth the price?
Congratulations! I’m very pleased that you are happy with your purchase. It’s a beautiful piece of equipment. Might get even better with some break-in time, although to be honest with my 218 and then the 808 mark five preamp I didn’t notice much c...
