| $100,000 line stage Tdimler, your right about the chassis it does look like it fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I wonder how much more Audio Note would have to spend to make it look like a $137,280 preamp? | |

| $100,000 line stage I think I'm going to hold out until Audio Note builds a $200,000 preamp because that one should be twice as good! | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? geoffkait, that's definately a different but interesting approach but how were you able to get rid of the house ac? | |

Excluding Class D amps how much more positive advancements are left to improve upon both in preamp an... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp Hi jmcgrogan2, no you're not seeing double. I answered lxgreen's question just now not knowing you had already answered it but many thanks anyway. | |

| Incredible deal on incredible amp Even if you restarted your ad three times that's only a $12.00 investment. If your not willing to invest such a small amount then you can't expect a positive result. I have done this on many occasions with it resulting in a sale. If it don't pan o... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp The Rex II definately looks like an incredible piece of gear and given its new price tag of $20, 000, your asking price makes it an outright steal. I just don't think that many people have the disposable income they used to have and the ones that ... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? Kyoccera, was pretty cool looking stuff at the time. If I am correct they were the first company to use mosfets and advertise them as tube-like. | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus PreAmp>Best Amplifier Match Ever! When I owned the Audible Illusions 3A it was mated to a McCormack DNA-1 with revisions, the sound produced was spectacular. Keep in mind that Audible Illusion preamps are heavily regulated and are designed to work very well with solid state amps. ... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? CJ products sound spectacular, even their entry level products are very good and are a cut above the competition but can benefit from upgrades since they have a very solid foundation to work with. I had called CJ trying to get a part for a preamp ... | |
| Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon There was a big exodus from Audiogon years ago when the new owners changed things around to such a degree, many left in disgust and vowed not to come back other then to check the forums once in a while. I am also a member of us audio mart and have... | |
