| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Mitch4t,The shipping back and forth would cost a fortune. If you don't have someone to service it locally I would forget about it. | |
| Rowland's new integrated amp I have a different take on the piece. I think the market for the piece is geared towards rich Asians that show their audio equipment as a status symbol like flashy jewelry. | |
| 50k people attend concert with no live music Aolmrd 1241,Luckily I didn't do drugs at the time. I can remember about 75% of the shows I saw. And I saw over 200 shows. | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? I don't know if the Esoteric blows the Modwright Oppo out of the water. The only thing I would say about the Esoteric is that it is built better. But at over 3 times the price of the modded Oppo it should be. | |
| 50k people attend concert with no live music Thank god I grew up in the 70's. I saw so many great concerts and the best bands that inhabited the planet. At the time I really didn't appreciate it. Now I look back and those are the best memories of my entire life. When these kids get my age th... | |

| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? Henrycai,Everything you said makes sense. You do leave out one important point. What happens if Dan Wright isn't around anymore.

When I go to audiophile shows I get the sense that most of the people attending are single. It seems like being an audiophile and being single go hand in hand. Just my observation. ... | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? Georgelofi,I have seen you post this same thing several times. Do you work for the manufacturer or are you an agent? | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Ainttitgr8,One member here said they had thousands of dollars worth of cable and when they had made some DIY cable it sounded better than the expensive cable so they got rid of it. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Garebear,Just curious, what cables have you had for 20 years and what are you thinking about changing to? | |
| SME turntables I was there when they first opened a couple of years ago. Brian is a nice kid, but here is no Brooks. I always wondered how he took all those lines from the original Brooks Berdan store in Monrovia. | |
| Clear Day XLR The nicest guy in the audio business bar none. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Garebare,I know the mark ups on cables is crazy! But even the mark up on speakers is very high. I was having a discussion with a friend of mine on what it cost to build certain speakers. (Not to pick on a certain manufacturer) but we were discussi... | |
| SME turntables I really miss Brooks. The shop is just not the same without him there. |
