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...
Orchestral music, at its best, is enjoyed sumptuously not in rows 1-5, but beyond that, centrally from the 5th through the 8th rows.  Professional, performing musicians understand the concept of "soundstage" and where it is best heard.  
Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ?

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 ...
