| Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal That does sound like a bargain price for those brands. Masimo didn't know what to do with those brands, hopefully Harman can be a better fit. Though you have to wonder what kind of attention each brand gets with the portfolio that Harman currentl... | |

| Icon Audio, any opinions? Definitely go with the upgrades, I did with the preamp. I assume you're in the US, I used https://www.audioarcan.com/ but that was a couple years ago, they are located in Canada so not sure if the tariffs affect it, Warren was great to work with.... | |
| Icon Audio, any opinions? I have their LA4 MK III preamp and I'm very pleased with it, I was look ing for a preamp with tube rectification and I favor the 6SN7 type tubes. This fits the bill. It drives my refurbished Carver Silver7t amps which drive Martin Logan ESL-X sp... | |

| Denarips and Vinshine split I agree with the positive comments for Alvin. I've ordered a couple of things him and always pleased with service and support. I am pleased with my T2 but if it comes time to upgrade I will probably look to him first before I go to Denafrips. | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split @sbayne, Thanks I don't frequent AliExpress but that helps to understand the problem for sure. Are these copies of their products or secondary sales? | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split I just got the email from Vinshine and it is a cause for concern. I don't totally understand the issue with the grey market. I bought my T2 from The Music Room which is a reputable online market for used equipment. I wonder if they consider that... | |
