| Sonnet Audio Morpheus I am also interested in reading a more detailed review of what you are hearing from the Morpheus after you have burned it in. I am particularly interested in any comparisons you can make to the Metrum Pavane you previously owned. Having owned th... | |
| Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear buy the newest technologyAlmost all of my current gear was purchased new (except for 2 subs) but I have had good luck purchasing used gear over the years as I kept learning what gear sounded best to me.

| Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept? He said 7T but you all raise a good point that he needs to verify 7B or 7T since there is a big difference. The 8008 also could be quite old, or relatively new. Not sure how he received the items (inherited?) but the original owner could have ei... | |
| Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept? Do not sell them for $700!!!At first, I thought this was a joke and then I looked and saw you just recently signed up with Audiogon and asked for help selling equipment you acquired.

| Life is too short to buy someone else's favorite stereo gear Maybe this is tied to the " donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product" post and he is saying that folks should figure out their own purchases for themselves rather than purchase stuff based on vehemently impassioned opinions posted o... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? @tomic601 my opinion of short term “ shootouts “ is pretty low If my recall is correct, I believe we were supposed to move the gear along to the next tour stop after about 10 days. Certainly less time than a professional reviewer would spend wi... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? Agree with @cleeds on the accusation of "kickbacks." However, regarding reviewer reliability, I have seen reviews where I have questioned the reviewer's conclusions after seeing that their review system and sonic preferences were not well aligned ... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? Some manufacturers (namely over at Audio Circle) pre-launch gear with a "Tour" of specific equipment, which consists of a pre-tour sign-up list, and a commitment by each person on the tour stop to:pay shipping to the next person on the tour, and t... | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? Nice YouTube vid @gdnrbob It seems the Stereophile "test lab" is a (sort of messy) walk-in closet?This may explain why the Wizard of Oz had a curtain.I hope there is another room where he kept the JC-1s. | |
