Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
A bit polarizing opions and maybe experiences here, aswell as a degree of besserwissers here to. Well, it's like forums usually are. 
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
I don't use paypal for larger amounts. Also like to add, paypal has not proven to much help in the past. Yes, i did a bank wire.First time ever this has happened to me through 20 years of deals in most of EU, Asia and USA. Mainly wanted to check i...

Try listen to Barefoot Sound Micromain 27 to. 
Pass Labs X1 or Krell Phantom II
I sold all my expensive hifi in 2005 and then i had a a few years with very budget friendly units. But as i recall, cast was better all through. I had a few cast cables and transparents versions was the best. I can only say, from what i heard, i w... 
Best 12AU7 Tubes for BHK Preamp?
New to tubes, this was interesting. Just ordered GE 1289, but i kind of feel i should order another setup to. I just wonder what? 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Well, how about the Rogue Audio Hydra?http://www.rogueaudio.com/Products_Medusa.htmIt seems different in design approach. I would gladly try this one.Or Mola Mola Kaluga seem to have some followers ....https://www.mola-mola.nl/kaluga.php 
Pass Labs X1 or Krell Phantom II
I had Krell FPB 600c and KPS 25sc and updated to Krell FPB 700cx, KCT and KPS 28c. For sure cast connection makes most audible difference between pre and power. Cd, much less so. So cast is given for a Krell amp combo. 
Magico compared to Tannoy
To OP, completely off topic (your topic request), but have you ever considered active speakers?Like ATC, PMC or anything like that? 
Biggest audio hoaxes
There was one guy who had a magazine in his home for an interview.He told the guys that if a component or unit had been forced to play rock or hard rock, it was forever damaged. He could ofcourse hear this so he was deeply afraid when he bought us... 
My Last CD player
I would never buy any last cd player!I would buy a transport and a dac. Keep the moving parts units away from the dac. Also, no aes/ebu cable can even near a HDMI IS2 connection. So i would look at a dac and transports that use IS2.I have Nuprime ...

Something is ongoing, now it's just the long wait and the hassle of customs :-(I might just come back here and report what i conclude from the + 1 apparatus in the chain. It got tubes, but i guess we can call it type of hybrid. Now it's just next ... 
Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers?
Hey Steve59i took a look at focals web sight. No larger drivers than 7 inch.Hm.... some old speakers that sure made me smile were DNA Sequence(Donald North Audio). These worked (strangely) in near field.It seems they never took off though. Perhaps... 
Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers?
Sadly Genelecs new 8361 looks so awful i can't stand it.Not to happy of speakers controlled by DSP either.The latest gen 2 of Micromain 27 has a steep price compared to the gen 1 + i'd like a more vivid airy bass. TM is perhaps the most appealing ... 
Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers?
Because i look for options! 
Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers?
(5.2 meter) * 3.85 meter =20.02 m2 Doesn’t exist? Barefoot Sound MM27 sure works splendid.Many years ago i used PMC IB2 and Krell FPB 600C and KPS 25sc, aswell as Teac P-70 and D-70.However, that room was larger and allowed another positioning. So...
