Accuphase E380 or E4000 integrated amp important from Japan
I will second the Accuphase. I sold the line in the late 70’s when it was distributed by Kensonic Labs.   Awesome sounding, quiet, great PRAT. I believe you would love it. I like Accuphase better than Luxman.  I sold both back then.  You live rela... 
Speaker Recommendations
I can’t believe I am saying this but, have you considered the Tekton speakers?  A good friend of mine who is an audio reviewer (Myles Astor) holds them in high regard. I haven’t heard their new line but Myles and I are on the same page as to likes... 
A-Pod for Magico A5
From what I have read (never heard them), the pods for the Magico are the best way to go. Anything else more expensive or cheaper won’t cut it. You have $25,000.00 speakers, why compromise with something lesser?  
anyone else getting phishing popups ?
Even with Ad Aware Pro on my computer, I am all of a sudden getting pop ups only on this site.  My web browser deletes the cache whenever I close it out so it isn’t that.  Did Audiogon go to a new algorithm to force the advertisements down our thr... 
Magnepans and dogs
Dogs hearing is very keen in the high frequency’s. I am envious, my dog and best friend died in 2009 after 13 1/2 years of love and devotion to my wife and I. He was the best behaved dog, never got into trouble and always listened. Although my wif... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Extreme, “SIX”  CD.  Don’t waste your $$$.  I loved Extreme, especially “3 Sides To Every Story”, but this……Horrible.  Sorry I wasted the money.    Roger Waters, “DSOTM Redux.”   Let me save you time and money, biggest pile of dog crap!  What Rog... 
Contact for Price
@dekay, why would you do that?  I believe you are a dealer or something, and if that is the case, if the tables were turned, I am sure you wouldn’t like it.  If I am wrong about you being a dealer, then I would issue an apology.   
Review of the Raven Audio Osprey Integrated Tube Amp and Corvus Reference Monitors
This is the best review I have read here, kudos.  It sounds like you have a match made in Heaven, just sit back and enjoy and embrace the music.   
Pink Floyd Aficionados
Yes, I hear it every time I hear the disc.  
Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy?
It shouldn’t matter how old the cables are.  There are not many breakthroughs in cables.  Most of the time it is a small company buying off the reel wire with expensive connectors and a fancy sleeve for the wire.  How many companies actually make ... 
I Am Not an Audio Snob
@helomech , perhaps you are just plain wrong or perhaps that Benchmark is not as good as you think and is a source of the noise. I checked out your system page, since there is nothing there, I can only surmise it is invisible?  
I Am Not an Audio Snob
@helomech, had you truly read my post, you would already know I went to an ENT. Obviously, you choice read and take things out of context. The Lokius is dead quiet, both in and out of the circuit. Perhaps your problem is your Benchmark equipment.  
A step to the side- Smart TV question
@crn3371 , why is that?  
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
You can buy a box that converts what your vhs player uses to convert to hdmi for your flatscreen for under $25.00 from Amazon.      You mentioned a broken screen, and I have a story for you:  my brother broke the screen on his 5 week old Sony  mi... 
The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore
I am at the stage where I know I need a hearing aid but really don’t want to.  A couple of years ago, I went to a highly recommended audiologist and found my hearing pretty much drops off over 8K.  My main rig has tone controls which has been a Go...
