| Best Place for Negative Reviews? There are no negative reviews because today's gear are all so wonderful. Bright speakers are "fast". Veiled amps are "romantic"..etc. Sad state of the high end press, they have turned into pimps. I too, enjoy reading the old Stereophiles. | |
| LA Show Report Totally agree with Hgeifman and Drubin. The lack of lower to mid price stuff was concerning. While the ultra high end gear is interesting to listen to and gives people perspective of what is possible - end of the day, people can only buy what thei... | |

| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen It reassuring that I am not alone. I have taken some baby steps. I have boxed up my Stereofools and Absolute!. While I am still on Audiogon, I mainly just read the forums. I think you can still be part of the community even without the strong urge... | |

| Conrad johnson MF2300 A An amplifier usually designed as Class AB; meaning during lower wattage usage (usually 10 watts on demand, up to its limits. A Class A amp is always running full bore, regardless of what is asked of it, the extra wattage will turn to heat. There i... | |
