The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023!
I might not qualify since it was less than 10k.  But after hearing the Von Schweikert  VR4 Silvers at HiFi 96 in NYC I ordered a pair. I had already auditioned them at a dealer but hearing the Silver version at the show pushed me over the edge. I... 
Hattor Audio preamps?
I did own one of Don’s preamps and it was very good. I sold it when I went to an Allnic integrated amp. When I decided to go back to separates I thought I’d try the Hattor and I’m glad I did, it’s a great pre. I’ve owned many active and passive li...

My Fosgate was acceptably quite. It was quite what? 🤔

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you should learn to do these things yourself. Buy a good protractor and digital scale. If like me, your eyesight is shot, download the Magnify app to your phone. You will get a good view of the cantilev...

So I’m confused. You say the listing was for the Sota phono stage, and you made an offer. Then you show a photo and description of the PL. This: Before deciding to hit the "buy now" for the Sota, I checked to see how the listing was doing. It wa... 
Aric Audio and my system
I am using a Hattor Audio “The Big” preamp. A great match with with Arics 300B.

I'm not saying they don't sound good. And I'm also not saying that 84 db tells the whole story. But a story it does tell. It tells me my 300B SET need not apply. And that's all I need to know.

Oh that’s no excuse. You can honeymoon anytime. But unboxing new audio, that should take a front seat.

Congrats! They really are great speakers.

That's pretty good. I paid 400.00 to ship the X3s. And this was in 2019.

I didn’t have an issue with the AMT driver really. What I didn’t like was using a 12” driver to reproduce the midrange. It was a little beamy and didn’t have the realism and texture of a good midrange reproducer. The X3 is the only spatial speaker...

I love the way @pennfootball71 comes into a thread bashing three thousand dollar speakers as midfi, and to prove his point he compared them to speakers costing many thousands of dollars (some even six figures). Where does midfi end and high end b...
