Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
@jperry I should have been more clear, I was referring to a tube integrated. 
What Do You Think Of This?
Here is the outcome...............................I told the buyer to ship it back to me and I would cover the shipping both ways.   I said once I received the tuner , I would refund the money via PayPal.  On the day he was going to ship it to me,...

no.  It will still be single ended. 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
@mr_m I feel the opposite.  I have never heard a Class D amp or Class D hybrid that I liked.  Not for these ears. 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
I had a Rogue Cronus Magnum and a Cronus Magnum II integrated at one time, notice I said had.  I felt they inserted a tiny bit of grain into the music.  I noticed it first with the original Cronus Magnum and thought the II version would be better....

Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F
I purchased a JVC direct drive turntable back in 1979 and it was one of the best turntables I ever owned.  To this day I regret selling it.  I ran mine with a Shure V15 type 3 mm cartridge. 
ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ?
I have an Esoteric UX-3 in one system and a McIntosh MCD301 in another system.  I much prefer the Esoteric as it seems truer to the music, but the McIntosh  is very smooth sounding and even poor recorded cd's sound listenable.  It's a toss up and ... 
70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations
Kenwood is another good vintage brand.  I sold tons of their receivers back in the 70's and owned quite a bit of them myself. 
FM Antennas For Old School Tuner?
Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna is the best indoor antenna and can be used outdoor as well.  I have tried them all, the Terk powered, Godar, etc and this one constantly pulls in the station. 
Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics?
GAS made "Charlie", the Tuner back in the 70's.  I always loved Jims humor. 
Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect
My new speakers went for 8500,00 and I got a 500.00 discount.  This happened only after I pointed out to the dealer that I had already spent 8000.00 in the past 7 months with no discount.  Never hurts to ask but don't expect to buy a Wilson or Mag... 
Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics?
My first encounter with James Bongiorno was a SAE amp I bought new around 1975. In 1978 or 79 (memory failing), I bought a GAS Son of Ampzilla and the sound was a revelation. It was stupid good, especially for the 500.00? that it sold for. (guessi...
