Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
@no_regrets  My pleasure. On another question you asked regarding the AZ Absolute copper, that's the cable I'm currently using and it is extremely good.  Another cable I also use, is the Empirical Design ED 120 Coaxial 75 Ohm Digital Cable which... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
I have owned the Merason DAC 1, Mk ll and even though it’s a fine sounding unit, the Aero is a significant step up.  The best way I can describe the difference is the Merason puts you in front of a very good system and the Aero puts you at the liv... 
Enleum AMP23-R buyer beware!
After more jerking around toward the dealer (from Enleum), the order has been cancelled.    
Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
@grannyring  My previous integrated was a Sugden IA-4 and I've had the A200 for about 3 months.   @jond  Thank you for the kind words.  Yes, the Mangers are somewhat rare, but I'm so glad I took the plunge.  They were a recommendation from my ... 
Enleum AMP23-R buyer beware!
I know Enleum is a small company and I understand the supply chain issues.  At least a company like Decware let's potential customers know that the wait time is approx 1 year.  At that point, a customer can make up their mind as to whether or not ...

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
I am a very proud owner of a Circle Labs A200.  To say it has helped transform my system would be an understatement.  Everything that has already been said, I agree with.  All I can say is that paired with my Manger Z1 speakers, I’ve never been ha... 
Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
I owned a new Dialogue Premium HP integrated a few years ago and shortly after I got it up and running, a horrible DC noise came through the speakers.  I took it in for repair and the technician told me it was just more Chinese “crap” as one of th... 
recommended speaker cables and interconnects
I've been searching for the "right" cables in my system for quite some time and have tried all the usual suspects.  I don't remember which forum I came across Belden cable, but on further research, they are a massive company and have been making a... 
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
Naim Supernait 3 is the best I’ve heard under $5k. 
Best DAC for around $2,500 or less
I would throw the Bryston BDA-3 into the mix (if purchased used) as it does everything well with all kinds of music.   
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
If buying used, I believe the best sounding and best value speaker is the Tannoy Kensington SE.  If you've never heard a Tannoy, you owe it to yourself to have the experience.   
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
I too posted on their listings letting them know that Oppo was manufacturing another batch at $1299 retail and they were petulant with their responses.  I refer back to my initial post above about these people having no souls.  I'm a big believer ... 
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
I suspect that those trying to profit (in the extreme) on the Oppo 205 have no soul.  I hope that no one will accommodate any of these scammers. 
Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3
The Vinnie Rossi LIO integrated is an ideal match with Harbeth and gets best of sound at every show no matter which Harbeth is being used.
