It's OK. 
PS Audio HCA-2 vs Monarchy SE100 Delux's
Buy one from PS with the 30day return privilege and decide for yourself.

It may simply be a loose transformer mounting. Try adjusting the mounting screws. 
CES - Which Days?
There's really not much in the way of 'events' anyway. There are a few 'by invitation only' events. The real meat is going to the demos and some are not ready at the beginning. Most are. Also, although I've heard that you can make a deal on a demo...

has anyone headr the new Aerial 20 t's and how do
