| US only sales WHY??? I've been liquidating a lot of gear here on Audiogon over the past several months. And, based on my previous experience with sending gear back and forth from Canada, I explicitly say, "USA Sales Only!" It was simply too much of a headache on many ... | |

| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Budburma, thanks for your updates!Most people here love to glow over whatever gear they are running. But, your honest perspectives of what you have heard along this journey should be applauded - thank you. | |
| Any VAC CPA-1 preamp owners here? Please contact my friend, Michael Phelps - Audiogon username Sufentanil. I believe he had this model, and I've listened to it several times in one of his former systems.I'd give my own personal perspectives, but his opinion would be far better inf... |
