PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review
Charles1dad hit the nail on the head. Definitely a mismatch of equipment. Case in point I borrowed a buddies Pass Labs X250 and didn't care for it at all. My ears were bleeding from the midrange energy. The bass was killer and some probably the be...

04-17-15: GoldprintaudioI would hope that the VSI75 would sound a little better then the Cary.....ITS TWICE THE PRICE! $9000 versus $4500Goldprintaudio Well you would hope but that isn't always the case unfortunately. 
Rogue Audio Tempest II Upgrade
What changes did you hear or feel regarding the Cronus? 
Rogue Audio Tempest II Upgrade
There is no Super Magnum upgrade so that was a definite a mistake lol. Anyway, what are the obvious differences from any magnum upgrade from the base model. Do you think its worth it? 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
Thanks ET I will try that. 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
Bdp24 your player replicates what mine is doing? I can hear it wanting to open but will not unless manually helped. It closes just fine. Where in the player is this gear and I will order it?

Theo I tried unplugging and pressing the Faceplate buttons and no luck. I will try unsnapping the drawer faceplate. Thank you!Sam 
Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly
Theo it opens on its own when I manually assist and closes without any hitches. The disc also plays with no errors. I will try to unplug and press all the buttons and see if that helps and try to report back this evening. Thank you very much. 
McCormack DNA 225 or Mark Levinson No.27
I have never heard the 225 but owned both 27 and 27.5. The 27.5 is more open and detailed with better top end extension and better bass than the 27. The 27 is more laid back but still a fine amp.

kt77 vrs kt120 in Rogue M180s
Reynolds makes a good point. I blew 2 EH KT-88 tubes in my Tempest II and called up Mark at Rogue and bought a matched quad of EH KT-90's. No more problems. 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
I totally agree with Invenio78. 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Being "thrifty" is maybe part of the reason they can afford to pay market prices but don't.So I guess you condone this practice? 
Anyone else receive low offers right away ?
Yes I notice low ball offers a lot. What kills me is guys who make plenty of money and can afford to pay market price or there abouts still make stupid low ball offers. This happened to me about 3 years ago and it turned out to be a Doctor who liv...
