Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2
I have respect for some of the Avalon offerings, much more than for most audio companies. But the Eidolon Diamonds compared to the Revel in terms of musicality? What can your contact be talking about?If by musicality we mean ease of listening, ric... 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
As for the 67000 Everest, that is what I have. Yes, it is better than 66000. Cleaner, tighter, deeper, lower distortion bass. Clearer lower mids, greater transparency and ability to unravel multiple sounds/instruments in the midrange. Smoother in ... 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
Thank you Dave_72. Nice of you to comment.So much misinformation in audio, I often think that it is the most baloney-ridden, charlatan-filled hobby I've ever had. I just want to get some realistic info out there. Truth be told, I'm a long time vet... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Further to my last post, note that I have not said any one brand is positively best, or any one technology is certainly best. Contrast that to one of the posters, with much less experience than me, who said, in another thread:"My reaction is that ... 
Recommend a cartridge for my new TT
10x5 Dynavector, a class above Denon. And way, way, way above the Audio Technica. 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
Both speakers represent some of the best of their types. In fact, I believe both are in a fairly small group of best speakers available. The Everests have more power. Some would say that is obvious given that they are big horns with 2 big woofers....

When you put yourself out in the public, either by designs, or your acting, or sports activities, you are subject to speculation, derision, adulation, criticism, suggestions, and others human actions. Folks are passionate about their audio, for su... 
Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing?
Could be US importer is taking more. Could be Canada is really taking too little money. It could be a lot of things. I know it is hard to make money on specialty lines, so I would hesitate to use the word "gouging". Does the US guy travel more? Ad...

Zenblaster, much more evenly presented, a balanced post. 
Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China
Now, if this is a fact: "I've been to the factory and seen VPI tables, including Travellers, in various stages of assembly. These are hand built from machined parts that are also made almost entirely in New Jersey by local machine shops"then it wo... 
Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China
Please, get off your high horse(s). I did not accuse VPI, re-read my post. I'm saying none of us can be sure, and that goes for any manufacturer, because many secretly have things done in the far east, and that is FACT. Admitted to me by several. ... 
What do you expect a reviewers system to be
I'll expand a bit on your question to talk not only about their systems but also their credentials.I expect what nobody seems to do: 1. Maintain an inventory of a good solid state amp and a good tube amp of 100 watts or more to give every speaker ...
