Oppo service
That’s great news although a bought an oppo player once I heard they were exiting the industry.     Compared to two recent service debacles I’ve experienced in the last few years, this is amazing.   I’ve two Burson amps and the company told me th... 
Need recommendation for someone to analyze and repair Burson amps.?
Stuart   You’re clairvoyant!  They offered me a sizable discount on a new product.        
Burson Audio Rant…
I have a pair of Timekeeper amps that need to be checked out. Burson told me that they no longer support discontinued models. I wouldn’t get anything they make.

Corporate in Australia says that repairing discontinued products is against their corporate policy and I don’t want to put a dealer in an awkward situation.   
The panic selling of tube audio had begun.
I couldn’t get a Russian-made product knowing that some portion of the purchase price contributes to the Russian kleptocracy that is behind these ongoing human rights violations.     
Burson Audio
They won’t service discontinued products so if you have issues with something, you’re on your own.   
Emotiva vs Burson Audio
Stay far away from Burson.  Post-sale service is non-existent for discontinued products.  Regardless of how good a product is, it’s a hassle in the making if you can’t get it serviced.   
Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos
For what it is worth, one of the best audio reviewers gave rate perfect 10 ratings to both the Rogue 100 (suggested in this thread as an upgrade to the Rogue amp raised in the question ) and, more recently, the Benchmark amp.     https://10audio.... 
Want to buy Paradigm Tributes
I’ve a pair.  Would consider a sale or a trade but the shipping rates are through the roof of late.   
Ready to move onto next stage of streaming
The NAD M50.2 sounds great and is super well made but support from NAD is virtually non-existent and the manual and instructions are all but useless.     if someone wants it, I’ll be selling mine.  Really soured on NAD’s support but if someone is... 
Has anyone ever been able to get help from NAD
Unless you are upgrading from a prior BluOS platform and will never need assistance in terms of written instructions or, God forbid, help from NAD, don’t buy an NAD BluOS product.   
Has anyone ever been able to get help from NAD
I’m about to do the same with my M50.2.   Love the sound and the form factor that realizes that DAC-tastes vary and assumes the owner has his or her own DAC.   The BluOS software can be quirky and the documentation for it almost non-existent.  NAD... 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
Because they write long responses not broken up into paragraphs for easier readability (especially on devices).  
Wow an old album that rocked your world
OK Computer by Radiohead, perhaps one of the greatest rock albums of the 1990s.    Listened to it over the weekend and it brought a tear to my eyes.  
Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
I certainly did.  Powered by a Harman Kardon receiver.   Heard a pair recently at an event.  Thought they sounded muddy by modern standards.
