Wow moments while listening to vinyl records
Check out the Moody Blues "In Search Of The Lost Chord" . Song: "Legend Of A Mind"! Timothy Leary's dead. No he's not! He's outside looking in! 
It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat!
The Age of the Guitar Hero is long past!

Rap has been the dominant music for young people for at least the past two decades - not Rock! All that is needed is a beat box - not a guitar! Sales have been declining despite overproduction! And Asian production at lower prices has undercut Ame... 
Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!
I always preferred Stereophile over TAS because of JA's measurements! I will miss this part of the magazine! 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
Tekton Double Impacts! $3K a pair! 
JBL everest?
Evidently the high rollers who purchase the big bucks stuff don't feel the neurotic compulsion to publicly discuss their purchases! 
Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.
For the money this thing is damn impressive! And only 8.6 lbs! 500 + watts at 4 ohms! Too bad that we'll never get John Atkinson to do a test against a big Krell or Levinson! The results would probably offend the advertisers!

Save your money for a REAL DarTZeel! They are really beautiful looking amps!

I'd like to have a Chinese DarTZeel and the original side by side so I could compare the innards! I doubt that the clone's parts quality is the same as the Swiss one's. Anyway these Chinese clone amps have NO real future value compared to the orig...

They DO have a DarTZeel amp clone available for $520 + shipping! And in the original colors too!

Do I remember seeing recently a Chinese clone of a DarTZeel amp? THAT would be interesting!

Looks like a very well built clone of an early Levinson (Tom Colangelo). For a total of $600 this would be hard to beat! Made in China - so what! If it was done right I doubt that anybody could tell it sonically from the real thing!
