What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay
@allenf1963 ​Accuphase E4000 Integrated Amp in Japan for $6,190...but buy it here in the U.S. and it’s $14,000 Can you provide a link where you see this price? No I’m not EVER going to buy it as others have stated too much of a risk and besides... 
Carbide Audio isolation footers. Anyone try them?
Here are 2 reviews but there are more all positive. Yes I take reviews with 2 grains of salt. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/carbide-audio/   http://hifiknights.com/reviews/accessories/carbide-audio-carbide-bases/  
Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs
OP I'm with you, I also hear that recessed mids plus I'm not a fan of the slight brightness Focals have, at least that is what I always hear every time I've heard them. Yes you most likely got a "good deal" but if you don't like the sound well the... 
Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together
Recently had a chance to try a third Telos mini resonator. Made the sound hard and moved the soundstage. Not to my liking but then placed it on a Furutech PowerBar where my router and Roon Nucleus is connected and unbelievable I heard an improveme... 
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
@noromance yes I saw although Mr Lavigne doesn't post often in these forums but when he does I pay attention. He's much more active on WBF.  
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
Sorry R but I'd put more value into WBF with gentlemen like Mike Lavigne and others than just about anyone in these forums. Just my own perspective YMMV  
MoFi lawsuit
Curious if anyone has stopped buying anything MoFi sells based on their deceptive practice?  
New blog post: Living with Focal Speakers
@erik_squires curious if the newer Focal's have that same edge I've heard from the tweeters as the older models you had back in the day? At a friend's we have tried firing them straight out and then toeing them in 1/2 " at a time but still found t... 
Optimum speaker support
@antigrunge2 can you supply a link to the exact product you bought?  
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Another vote for a used Bricasti M3 with streamer. They are upgradable over the years so you can feel comfortable having the latest experience.  
New computer for Streaming????
OP great choice! Did you get the latest MKII M1SE? I believe it is well worth the asking price or maybe you bought a used unit? Hopefully it's the latest version. Enjoy 😉  
DS Audio Ionizer for analog Playback
Awhile back I sold my Furutech ionizer brush and bought the CS Port static Eliminator and couldn't be happier. Yes a bit expensive but it works and nothing to do other than push a button before playing a record and after an evening of listening th... 
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
Just wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be going in a week to listen again to JA Perspectives2. I've heard them many months ago and enjoyed them I should have bought some demos that were on several sites.  
Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer
OP hadn't you seen all the negative comments about him on these pages? Its been well documented.  
Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3
OP you should have your dealer walk you thru all your options, that's what you are paying for! Also from what I've been told by not only my Bricasti dealer but by Bricasti themselves is that the Ethernet option is superior sonically to the USB opt...
