Amp for Aerial 10T
Glad to connect with other 10T owners because these are really awesome speakers. I've had mine for almost 10 years but it wasn't until I drove them with a pair of Henry Ho's H20 Audio Signature Monoblocs that I really heard the full dynamic range ... 
what is the best deal you ever got on audiogon
Last year, I won the bidding on the classic Sony SCD1 SACD player... brand new in the original packaging with warranty ($2,600). Not bad considering that they haven't been in production for years. It's a great CDP, and I have the Audiogon users to... 
Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter
Clio09, I had read your review of the stock D1 vs. the TRL-modded version and it was one of the many reviews that convinced me to buy this DAC...nice job on the comparison of the 2 versions. As someone else said on this thread, it's rare to find a...

Brownsfan, good advice on that burn in timetable. Unfortunately, It's like waiting for a pot to boil but if I can just get a taste after 8 hours, that would be great. Will probably just let the system run straight through the first week before I s...

To all Audio Mirror D1's owners, I am sold on the virtues of this NOS DAC but can't seem to get a response out of Vlad to my request to purchase one. All I get back is an autoresponse that my email was received....but that's it...how did you all c... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Tks. Tonnesen. Mick is back from vacation and he thinks that it's a defective 5AR4 tube in the power supply and he's sending a new one over along with a couple spare fuses. He's also got a friend in NY that he trusts to test out the Cortese if the... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Been following this thread from NY for a while and finally got my Cortese strictly based on your recommendations. I'm using SONY SCD1>Cortese>H20 Signatures>Aerial Acoustics 10T's. All this stuff is fantastic imo but the Cortese was the i... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
The HT bypass is used to "pass" an external processor or other source directly to the output of the Cortese. The signal goes through untouched. The HT bypass is not an output of any kind. If you want an output to a reel to reel, use the tape monit...
