Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?
@soundsrealaudioalthough I only spent a few minutes in your room, I found it to be one of the better sounding rooms at the show. My favorite was the Nagra room although I could never afford that equipment. The reason I only spent a few minutes in ... 
Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?
My wife and I were there today.  I felt the rooms were too spread out and after being there 5 hours, my sciatica was killing me and we left. I got to meet quite a few of the industry professionals.  Bob Carver was extremely gracious as was Sandy G... 
Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ!
@gpgr4blu Shame on you for hijacking the original thread because you have a problem with the proprietor of Audio Doctor.  Also, none of us need to know about you and your friends problems when Dave was working at Sound By Singer.  You had an axe t... 
LA Rock station casualty
There are 2 Rock stations in my area and I listen to one or the other daily. We already lost an alt  rock station in my area and I hope the others don’t go the same way.  
Cartridge under $600 for VAC VPI HW
@ chaksterThe closest I went for vintage was a used McIntosh MA6600 integrated which I bought from audio Classics. I bought a used Dynavector DV20L here on Audiogon and I got a Cartridge with a collapsed suspension. The seller gave me half my mone... 
Cartridge under $600 for VAC VPI HW
@chakster i recommended the Vasari Gold because I happen to like it very much. Specs mean nothing to me. The Cartridge sounds wonderful on my system and since I listen to 90% Rock Music, it is perfect for my needs. The ZU Denon 103 was a much more... 
Cartridge under $600 for VAC VPI HW
I went from a ZU DL103 cartridge on my Prime to a Gold Note Vasari Gold MM Cartridge. The sound is much more than a 500.00 Cartridge should be. I bought it from the Canadian distributor as there doesn’t seem to be a presence in the US. Best part i...

I too have heard great things about Audio Doctor from associates that have purchased from them.  BTW, I have been on Audiogon for many years with over 1000 posts.  I do not doubt what ph2 posted.  I believe an apology is owed to him.   
The longest you have owned any gear?
Vandersteen 2Ci speakers for 23 years.  Bought them for 1250.00 new and sold them 23 years later for 450.00. 
Tool
I love Tool and listen to them frequently.  
Burn In on Aurender N100H
I heard the same very digital sound from the N100H as well.  I was using a wireworld starlite7  800.00 usb cable which was well broken in going to a Wyred4Sound dac2 did se.  My laptop sounded much better.  I sold the Aurender a.t a loss and bough... 
Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ?
Why not move up in the GE line? 
Esoteric A-03 power amp - suggestions on a power cord.
If you want something to match the Esoteric amp, I would recommend the Acrolink cables.  They were designed for Esoteric Audio products.  I use an Acrolink power cord on my Esoteric SACD player and it works magic.  I paid 400.00 used for it and it... 
So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ?
I switched from a ZU DL103 MC to a Gold note Vasari Gold MM cartridge.  One of the best moves I have made.  On my Prime, it sounds fantastic.
