| High End Audio Equipment, Status Symbol? Stereo systems, a status symbol? The only thing that anyone comments on when they visit my place is my music collection, hell they don't even know what a tube amp is! In my neck of the wood's if I wanted a status symbol a stereo system is the last... | |

| Tubed CD Player I have a tube CDP and a tubed DAC and I'd like to help. Specifically what do you want to know about tubed digital stuff. If you want product recommendations what kind of sound do you expect to hear and how much are you willing to pay. Give us a cl... | |

| Anyone seen the ad for free Mi-Horns? It probably is an ad, but its rather blatant, and then advertising is nothing really new on this site, many ads are far more clever and obscure. Unfortunately they do catch the unwary far too often. To bad we don't have more ad police. | |
| Need some audiogon expertise Kool 39, You just said something that got my attention - that is, that you have to turn the volume up to make your speakers come alive! I don't know what you were running before you got the VMPS, but one of the common issues with dynamic speakers ... |
