| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Heard a cayin h80a hybrid integrated. It was fantastic sounding. You can tube roll the preamp section to your liking. What a bargain. sounded like a McIntosh only not as colored. | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? If you are looking for something specific for a decent amount of time, you’ll know what real market value is. I’ll look for a specific piece and sometimes I’ll wait 2-3 yrs.. I know in this hobby, if you’re patient and emotionally detached, you’ll... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus Bob mould with sugar was stupid loud and distorted. a few other notables- Catherine wheel, rage against the machine, Metallica, even Jeff Buckley hitting those high notes was too loud but it was oh so beautiful, | |
| Looking for advise with selecting next integrated amp Luxman or accuphase. Top dollar, top quality. | |

| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? I find my vinyl rig sounds better but not by a large margin. I also have more money in my vinyl rig. I wonder if I spent equally on the digital side if it would even out . I use digital merely for the convenience and accessibility. I enjoy vinyl m... | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume Diapason adamantes or music culture rl-21. both very difficult to find on the used market. some of the best 2 way monitors for the price you can buy. | |
