Mcintosh CD players vs. Wadia Cd Players
I have heard both and my recommendation would be Wadia. Yes, we are an authorized dealer for Wadia but that is not why I am recommending them per se. On the merits of the sonics alone - the Wadia is far superior. And, yes, the McIntosh is warmer. ...

Mr. Tennis,You're cordially invited to join me on a hifi adventure. Please take a trip with me to a number of manufacturers so that you can see how many different models of speakers an average hifi amplifier manufacturer owns or borrows to test hi...

And, metaphorically speaking, dealers don't tell you what movies to watch or which music that you should prefer. Still metaphorically speaking, we introduce you to new movie technology, new studios, movies (classics, foreign films, independent fil...

Matching equipment by specs alone will usually yield very poor results. And, again, I maintain that a manufacturer hasn't heard his or her product with as many different types of products as a dealer. My advice to you is to ask both - a knowledgea...

Whart,Well said. I have no doubt that Mr. Tennis can do his own taxes, has his own methods, and does just fine but isn't it possible that an expert tax attorney could secure him a larger return? That's all I'm really saying. And the big assumption...

Mr. Tennis,You asked, "do you think you can configure a stereo system that i prefer, as opposed to a stereo system that i configured for myself?" Yes, of course. Without a doubt - but I can only do so if you explain what it is that you are looking...

Bifwynne,We can shoot the breeze anytime! Also, I just want to clarify that the reason I prefer to chit-chat outside of the shop with client friends is because it's a different dynamic - more relaxed and casual. In fact, I took one of my friends (... 
Revel Salon 2 Amplification Questions
Tmsorosk, I agree it is not easy to execute with stunning results and with proper impedance matching between amp and pre. My recommendation to P59teitel, if he must try a tube preamplifier with his SS amp, would be to demo several ARC models or th...

I mistakenly said Mr. Tennis but I meant to address my last few comments to Bifwynne.The only thing I can say to Mr. Tennis is that you are severely limiting yourself and the potential of your system if you rely solely on manufacturers that allow ...

Mr. Tennis:I'm quite fond of ARC though I do not represent the line. ARC is not available to me in this market. But it's great stuff as is Nagra which I do represent. If you had called me and said, "hey Burt, I've got this ARC amplifier that I abs...

Mr. Tennis, If you and I, together, attended a concert where the sound was clearly off, we would most likely be in agreement. It wouldn't be a case of where I thought it was great and you were looking at me in bewilderment as if I was tone deaf. I...

Plus, I would also like to say that of all of the loudpeaker, electronics, and wire manufacturers who I have visited over the past 22+ years, most only had 2 or three brands of other people's stuff in their sound/test rooms. They do not have the a...

Mr. Tennis,Hmmm...it depends on the complexity and level of integration that the system entails. But let's examine just the high-end market for a moment.That would seem logical but what you end up with is consumer direct Audio Note, B&O, Naim,... 
Marten Design Coltrane vs Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy
Nola KO should be considered as well but you're not likely to find them second hand - at least not for awhile.
