A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour
Josh358, I didn’t recall any ads in Absolute Sound (I no longer subscribe to Stereophile) so I went and looked for them and did find one I recalled seeing.  It said they were going “On the Road Again” to “select cities”, but no mention of when or ... 
A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour
This is the second time I have seen reference to these speakers and them being demoed at dealers, yet not a peep on the Magnepan website about this.  So where does one find information on the speakers (other than these posts) and when and where th... 
PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR
Rather than put my two cents in on this discussion (I have owned a DS for five years) I would suggest reading the thread on the PS Audio site where Ted Smith, the designer of the DS, and many of the forum members respond to the “findings”.  See ht... 
Discontinued?
Wturkey, the replacement for the DMP has been in a state of flux.  At one point not that long ago Paul McGowan said it would be released very soon.  This model was going to have improved Red-book performance but would not play SACD (too expensive ... 
Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As
While I can’t offer any good suggestions (other than maybe the Verity’s) I am more interested in what you don’t like about the 5A’s versus the 5’s.  I have 5’s and really like them, and have certainly thought about upgrading, but every time I have... 
Why are there so many PS Audio BHK-mono or stereo amps for sale? What Gives?
These amps are NOT turkeys, they are, in my opinion, quite nice. Yes, I have a BHK 250, but I am certainly not alone in that. Are they the world’s best amp? Nope, actually nothing is, you said it yourself; “there are no absolutes in audio and ever... 
Suggestion To The Moderators To Rid This Site Of Spam
It would certainly seem likely that many, if not all of these spam posts are by new “members” so they could be controlled.  The solution that other sites use is first time posters have to have their posts reviewed by the admin prior to actually po... 
Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
I would recommend that you send it in to at least get an estimate for repair.  If I understand your post correctly, if the repair costs too much for you, then they will purchase for parts.  That sounds like a win-win situation, under the circumsta... 
2 different Bedini 150/150 Mk II Amps
Rocray, based on your post above I would like to contact Will Vincent about a Bedini amp I have, but not sure of his username. Is he “autospec”?  That user sells Will Vincent modified Dynaco amps so he may be the one, or maybe not. Any help apprec... 
Good FM tuner for around $1K
Lots of good advice has been given, personally I’ve had a McIntosh MR 71 for years.  A very nice sounding tuner, especially after I had it brought back to factory specs by Audio Classics.  The problem is I don’t use it any more.  Why?  All the rad... 
Vandersteen 5
I’ve got Model 5’s too and am very happy with them. The advice you have gotten to contact Vandersteen is good, that would be a good second step. First step is to read the manual thouroughly and get yourself very familiar with how Vandersteen wants... 
HELP--- I need 1/4" - 20 thread rack feet for Billy Bags stand up rack ONLY M6 online
Herbie’s Audio Lab makes a “Threaded Stud Glider” in various thread pitches that will work great for this. They don’t offer them in black though.  
When did AudiogoN become a Showcase for The Music Room?
PS Audio started a trade in program a couple of years ago that has been very successful and is very generous.  Who resells those trade ins?  TMR for the most part.  So in addition to buying direct from users they also have all those PS Audio trade... 
Looking for Audioquest Email or Phone Contact
I contacted AudioQuest at info@audioquest.com last November and they responded right away.  Can’t guarantee that’s still a good e-mail, but give it a try! 
PS Audio AC Regenerators
You probably won’t get too many responses, the P20 was released in early April and the P12/P15 are shipping this week or next.  A few dealers got them earlier, but I don’t know who they are and where they are located.  You will also get more infor...
