Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday
A legend, esp. in NY!!!  
Anyone using Octave amps or preamps?
My (second) owner of the Octave LP1 is magic with my 1.5 Thiels.  
Fraudulent sale on eBay
Similar experience several years ago when I "paid" chump change for a SS Conrad Johnson power amp. PayPal and my bank ran with it and the not-so-sophisticated scammers were busted...........in Texas  
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???

My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?

Sat front row at the symphony...

Current Universal Players
As the man said----Oppo.  
Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they?
Read reputable reviews!    Oppo 83SE, still strong with Schitt DC, although largely unnecessary. Vintage Linn....like buying a used Rolls Royce.   
Review: Jolida JD-1501 Tube amp
I am the second owner of my Jolida,  Had it serviced by a Jolida authorized outfit in NY. Vintage Mullards in the pre.......kablam. My Quads are happy.  
What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
Take a clue from the 60s...."If it feels good, do it."   Footnote:  Pete Townshend.....partial deafness and tinnitus.  FYI: currently touring with Roger.... Just too much hyping/bsing and baiting in the audiophile galaxy.    Advertising signs ...
