Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
So that's what Bo is touting.  I never cared for monitor audio speakers, way too bright IMHO.  I couldnt get past his self centered dribble to know what speakers he was talking about.   Is he a dealer for them?  If he is then he shouldn't be going...

I have never heard a Rockport I didn't like. 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I did hear them at the open house at Blink.  I probably ran into you and didn't notice.  That's one of the problems with revealing speakers, it's hard to tell how much the electronics and source  come into play.  When I first posted and said the D...

bo1972Please give it a rest already, this is getting old and boring and you have now hijacked my thread.  At 63 I don't need saving by anyone in the audio field and I doubt many of our members do either.  Please stop self promoting.   
Interconnect cables for turntable
I use the VPI phono cables for my VPI Scout.  I just sold a pair here last week for 100.00.  They come up often here.

Squeaky turntable
I would do exactly the same. 
Sony Hapz1es or blue sound.......
Not so.  I have 2 Sony HAP-Z1ES players in 2 different systems.  I can unequivocally say it sounds better than my previous Aurender n100h player and Wyred4sound Dac-2 DSD and a  dedicated laptop running J Rivers Media Center 21 and the same dac.  ... 
Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7

Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I agree that a lot of equipment is overpriced, especially cables. There is no way in this world or another when a 2 meter piece of wire is worth 20K or more. Personally, I have always purchased cables used and spent perhaps 100-150.00 for each use... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I thought it was the Raidho 4.1 I heard at Blink High End  but I guess it was the 5.  My apologies for the mix up on that.  It doesn't change my opinion as while I was listening I kept thinking what all the fuss was about.   
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
bo 1972,That is the best explanation I have heard yet and one that I can completely agree with.  I find the same goes for Solution and CH amplifiers.  I see a lot for sale on Audiogon and most people never heard of them until Jonathan Valin and Ro...
