Is this a scam?
Smart........ people suck.  I like local cash sales .     
Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices?
I wanted to revive this thread,  I traded my CJ Classic 2se toward a DAC.  The dealer had it on his site by the time I got home.   I clicked on the ad this morning, less than 24 hours later and it was gone .   I clicked on several other items I sa... 
Update on Production of Western Electric Tubes
I have gear that can use any of those tubes so that's good news.   I have a NOS pair of spare  50's era RCA 12ax7 and 12au7 to use in my preamp some day .   I would much rather not use down the road , and would definitely outfit it with WE if I co... 
What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?
Novus is great ,  Brillianize is great too.....  when I repaired copiers I used it on the glass so the original would not stick to the glass.   My sub is black lacquer and I use a feather duster,  still looks new and it's 10 years old at least  
Was my friend given misinformation.
"Features are the bread and butter of low fi. High sound quality and few features are the mark of high fi."   Well put, agree 100%  
NAD M33 issues, don't know where to start
Not sure if yours does, but some NAD can be upgraded with USB stick and correct power on sequence.  Like press a button while powering on.  Thats how my m51 updated.   Good luck  
NAD M33 issues, don't know where to start
I would start by installing the latest firmware if possible.  If it is like some other Mxx products there is a menu to test the VFD screen.     
Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
PL is pretty good for the money... I demo'd several pairs of speakers with them and I thought they sounded great.... but then I thought about how great my Quicksilver amps are and they were half the money and twice as good.  Built in USA and built... 
Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
I am a fan of sensitive speakers and low powered amps....   While I think ML sound very good it's not really my thing. THE most important match is the speaker / amp interface.    It is irrelevant of price.  I proved this when using high quality a... 
Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
Yeah, I don’t think I would mix the two ….  Those speakers need solid state bruisers to extract all they can deliver    Years ago at Goodwin’s High End in Waltham MA I listened to  ML Statement system driven by Boulder Amplification and it was p... 
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
That's right. ....they don't make em anymore.    I have purchased from this seller before and tubes were time capsule condition  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
I can't believe it, but I just paid $300 for a pair of 1950's NOS RCA Black  plate 12AX7 and $150 for 1950's 12AU7 ......    Unobtanium and worth it.     
Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k
Sonus Faber makes great speakers.   The problem is that there are so many great speakers out there,  it's wise to listen to as many as you can if possible.  
What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest?
Klipsch CF 4.   Heavy and tall.....  
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
CJ has been using relay / resistive ladder volume since the CT 6 maybe earlier.  It is proven and in my opinion better than electronic volume controls like the ones CJ used when they built McCormack preamps.   Those were a Burr Brown volume chip, ...
