PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
Nrchy, WOW what a vacuous response! The questions I asked were hardly obnoxious. Major suck-up? No, just being nice to the designer. The major suck-ups to PS were accomplished by Fiddler, the self-proclaimed defender of the PS universe. If you wan... 
PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
Paul McGowan,What a treat to have you answer! Maybe my archrival here notified you.... My intent here was not to prove your design was flawed, but to question why certain measurements are so bad, and why some listeners don't seem to like the amp.C... 
Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal?
I have had too many buyers who say they want the item, then never write back, and many of these were members. I had a buyer who said he'd mail the check......the check never arrived nor did any more communication. This tied up my amplifier for two...

Fiddler's comments don't deserve any response. He thinks he comes out smelling like a rose when it is a stinkweed that would be a closer fit.To ad to the plethora of his unacceptable, vicious comments towards me is his adolescent warning of possib...

Fiddler, if anyone is exhibiting juvenile behavior, it is you. Your feeble attempt to discredit my response will be seen as exactly that.And now you falsely state that I have a similar post on Audio Asylum when I have nothing on that site. You are... 
PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
Fiddler, get off your preaching podium & get real. When I said "measurements basically mean crap," I didn't mean ANY & ALL measurements are irrelevant. I was referring to the typical 0.001% vs. 0.1% differences that some audiophiles find i...

How right. Does Sam Tellig review anything that isn't great? You can't trust the reviewers. I don't mean to disparage this amp -- I'm sure it has its good qualities, but I, for one, cannot overlook the very strong negative comments, or the glaring... 
ARC SS amp vs tube - bass question
Slowhand, I don't doubt the 100.2 is a nice sounding amplifier, & I am glad you are happy with it. The people I talked to at ARC simply don't believe it provides the sonics that a tube amp can. Yes, ARC also told me that some of their staff ow... 
PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
Fiddler's comment is a typical example of the audiophile who cannot accept questioning or criticism of their beloved choice without attacking the questioner. His paranoid accusations of my engaging in "PS bashing" is quite uncalled for.I myself ow... 
ARC SS amp vs tube - bass question
How many VT-100s are for sale means nothing. How many PS Audio HCA-2s are for sale, and this is a brand new amp with rave reviews & comments. The 100.2 has been discontinued -- if it sounds that fantastic, why?Furthermore, when I asked 3 diffe... 
PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250
"Why don't you go for the 30 day free trial?...." Sounds like an ad for PS Audio........ Maybe I just want some feedback at this time.......I'm not one to put much stock in measurements, BUT...look at the Stereophile Dec. review, and John Atkinson... 
ARC SS amp vs tube - bass question
Slowhand - I don't think so. Search the forums, and almost everyone agrees that the VT-100 is in another league from the 100.2. You can't compare apples with oranges. 
Which preamp- Pass Labs X1 vs Cary SLP2002
If you look at Absolute Sound's latest review on the Cary Rocket 88, the reviewer tries the matching Cary preamp. If you read between the lines, he doesn't think much of the preamp. If would consider other recommendations here. 
Shhhhhh Don't tell my wife. Looking at B&W 802Ns
Actually, my friend had the N802s & the Mac 352 & C2200. You'll be very happy with the sound. 
Audio Research LS-16 vs. BAT VK-30
No one is posting on this. Where are you all?
