Adirondack Audio
@jaf36...............I didn’t call Fidelis on the carpet. I merely related my experience. Fidelis offered me a paltry 1000.00 for my Prime which I paid 4000.00 for. I was also including the dust cover which cost me another 350.00. I have spent a l... 
Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue!
Same happened to me on a pair of Vandersteen 2CE speakers.  Sent the woofers back for repair. Richard Vandersteen told me the speakers were too close to the baseboard heat in my home. Lesson learned.

All Quiet on the Oppo front?
I think play it again audio should be ashamed of themselves by taking advantage of us audiophiles.  The fact that they are price gouging the player makes me to never want to purchase anything from them.  I think the UDP205 is a decent player but n... 
any experience with Esoteric SACD/CD players reliability?

Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight?
I have the Technics SL1200G and I tried it with the VPI record weight.  I was using it on my previous VPI Prime.  I didn't care for the sound with the weight, the Technics sounded a little muddy and the PRAT seemed off.  In the end, I prefer the T...

the beter choice difference?
I had a Parasound Halo Integrated for 1 1/2 years in my secondary system.  Although it was a good Integrated, there was a very fine grain to the sound that bothered me over the long haul.  I upgraded to a McIntosh Integrated (used) and am ecstatic... 
Audio Reviewers & The Music They Use In Their Reviews

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, “Damn The Torpedos”on vinyl 
Help me make a decision! Turntable overload
@slaw...…………………………………………………..Yup, that is correct.  Couldn't stand the equipment, many returns, and many came in for warranty work.  Their slogan back in the 70's was "Onkyo, artistry in sound". (yeah right) The audio store I worked in sold the On... 
McIntosh Jumper Plugs alternative
@beyondarkness...…………………………………….I have the McIntosh MA6600 integrated and I replaced the cheap jumpers with the Audioquest jumper cables which cost 30.00. A great investment and a noticible difference in the sound for the better.
