| Tekton Pendragons I just checked Tekton's return policy and didn't see anything about a 20% restocking fee. At one time they did have 15% restocking fee, but it was discontinued awhile ago. A stock pair of Pendragons can be had for $2000 and if you don't like them ... | |
| The best SS integrated amplifier for Focal 807W Prestige speakers The Marantz PM11S3 Reference may just be what you're looking for. I own one and and very happy with the performance.

| Marantz SA11S3 Thank you for staying on topic. I appreciate it. I think you may be on to something. I tried balanced cables (same cable as my unbalanced) and the unbalanced did sound slightly better. The way I understand it there should be a 6db difference in ou... | |

| Audio Research Reference 5SE reliability Elizabeth and Dbarger, the OP is from the Netherlands, so I'm guessing that the units wouldn't be going back to ARC for warranty repairs. The warranty repairs are probably being handled by the European distributer. | |
| Audio Kharma website Hey Sudz (Taters). You keep this crap up and you will be kicked off this site. Then where will you go? You've been banned from almost every audio site out there. | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop Hey Sudz. You made the exact same post last month. | |
