Santa Came Early!
Thank you all for the well wishes.  This particular store has been in business in the same location since 1977 and also has another more recent store on Commonwealth Ave in Boston.  I personally know the owner of the store as he went to Bishop Fee... 
Santa Came Early!
The dealer is Audio Concepts in North Attleboro, Mass.   They do not work on commission there, but they get paid an excellent salary. 
Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player
The Esoteric is the best sounding cd player I have ever heard.  Redbook sounds quite special.  I believe it is due to the Burr-Brown PCM1704 dac which is the last r to r ladder dac they manufactured.  There is a big ease to the music, it just flow... 
8 Ohm Output into 4 Ohm Speakers
My speakers are rated at 6 ohms.  I first tried the 8 ohm setting on the Cronus Magnum for a few months, then switched to the 4 ohm setting for a month and when I switched back to the 8 ohm setting again, I felt that gave me the best sound.  You w... 
Thanks to all who have helped me in my quest for excellent sound.
Going to miss you but life goes on. 
Odyssey Audio: Sent amp for service 4 months ago, no amp / no contact back
I believe what was bought was an amplifier made by one of Odysseys former employee who went out on his own.  Klaus said it was a half-assed attempt to clone his amplifier and that is why he is willing to work on it to bring it up to a current prod... 
Odyssey Audio: Sent amp for service 4 months ago, no amp / no contact back
That doesn't sound like the Odyssey that I know.  Try calling Klaus in the evening as that is when he is working.  Try around 8 or 9pm and you should be able to get a hold of him.  He isn't that diligent about reading his email.  I sent my Stratos... 
Leaving feedback
If the seller marks the ad paid, Audiogon will attempt to get a commission from the seller. 
Speaker Cable Questions
My system uses a 22 foot pair of Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cable.  It replaced MIT AVT-1 and Audioquest Indigo Blue speaker cables.  It sounds great with no loss of power and they cost 1,200.00 for the pair terminated in spades. 
TTWeights closing their doors
I am angered that TTW chose to slam VPI in this post.  What did VPI ever do to TTW for Larry to go on and on like that?  Personally, I thought the TTW turntables to have way to much bling.  Not a fan at all.  I did have one of TTW brass screw down... 
Need Inexpensive Digital Cable
I picked up a used Wireworld Starlight 6, two meter digital cable (red) for 60.00 here this past year.  It is an excellent cable.  I use it with my 8500.00 sacd player and my Wyred dac. 
Wyred 4 Sound DAC owners
so tell me what you like better about the slow roll off.  I have a Wyred dac 2 dsd and Femto clock upgrade and I am interested in your observations. 
Ok, a bit early- what's on your audio wish list for 2016?
A pair of Golden Ear Triton Two speakers for my secondary system.  I missed out on a pair here yesterday as I bid too low, argh! 
Your First Concert was.....
My first concert was Jethro Tull in November 1971 at the Rhode Island Auditorium on North Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island.  They played all of Benefit and Aqualung plus  songs from This Was and Stand Up as well.  Got me hooked for life.  C... 
What Are You Listening To Right Now?What is the Source?
I am listening to "Roger Waters The Wall" on my Sony HAPZ1ES  Media player through my Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated and my Odyssey Kismet Reference Floorstanding Speakers. Also consuming a little 420.  Life is good
