Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
Twb2, I wonder where that guy gets his money. I doubt he made that kind of money selling audio gear. And yes, they will ban you in a New York minute.

But the guys on Audio Afcionardo can be snobby at times. 
2C HiFi Epiphany - Worlds Best System?
I have been to a lot of audio shows and the big over the top systems never sound that good. I find modest systems with great synergy and musicality are the ones I want to listen to over and over. 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
I have always thought that MIT and Transparent cables are overrated. I have tried both in my system and they are very overpriced. I have cables from Clear Day that smoke both those cables and is about 75 percent less. 
Honest Vintage Tube Repair - SoCal
I have dealt with George Meyer and he is very expensive. He does a great job but be willing to shell out the cash. If you want someone just as good at a much better price contact Donny Manigold. He has been a technician for 30 years and he knows t...

VPI classic 3 or Prime ?

Who or what is Rube Goldberg? Sounds like a kid I went to Hebrew school with. 
Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp
David 99, Of course it is not. I was reading the new absolute Sound and Robert Harley was doing a review on the new Constellation amp and pre-amp. He said that it is almost as good as the top of the line Constellation and it cost 93% less. 
linn sondek CD12

linn sondek CD12
Even thought it's a unique CD player they don't hold their resale very good. If the unit is in mint shape with the box and manual I would say it is worth between 7 and 8k. Even at those numbers it might be a hard sale. (Meaning you might have to w...
