Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
Instead of using Amazon, how about saying ONLINE.  There should be a master list of restricted words. We could have some fun DM conversations knowing them.  
Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt?
I know all the things you guys posted. I was having some fun at A'gon's expense. Maybe I will get banned and save me some time from posting.   What I posted on a DM was, "search for this person's DSP book on Amazon"    "Amazon" is a restricted... 
Large room with low budget for speakers
Give GIKAccoustics a call and see if they can help you sort out your room before you spend that $30K.   You should create a Virtual System page on Audiogon. It will also help if you call GIK. I heard some Legacy speaker models in the past and I... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I am interested in @ricevs new mod. His Voyager mod was great, substantial to my ears over stock.   
Better sound on rainy days?
I do hear all the frogs singing along to my music when it rains. Sort of an enhanced surround sound. I wonder what the frogs are doing in the 360 days it does not rain in my area.  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I was a little harsh on the CODA 07x preamp last night. I had been using it in my office because I needed the dual XLR outputs for my 2 amps, a CODA #8 and the KRELL 175XD. I always felt the Benchmark LA4 was better suited for my tastes with those... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse I though I would add one more post since you once owned the Benchmark LA4 preamp. I am now listening to the LA4 connected to my KRELL 175XD and into my RAAL SR1a headphones. These phones are brutal if the signal is bad. Well what I am he... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I have sold 13 items on USAM in the last 2 years, nothing here anymore.  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse I did not want to sell the CODA #8 which I was using as a headphone amp for my RAAL SR1a. However, today I put in an order for the RAAL VM-1a. That is a $7K after tax amp and I needed to sell the CODA #8 to raise the funds. The VM-1a is ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@benzman Thanks for the update, the cost of oil must have caused the increase in shipping. I am looking for a black 005. In fact I need to get one soon since I bought my ultimate headphone amp this afternoon and will likely use my Benchmark DAC3B ... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse I had the Voyager 350 and also had it modded by EVS. After the mods I thought the Voyager was similar to my Benchmark AHB2 but with more power. It was super clean and quiet, though It lacked the bass power of my CODA #8. However, it soun... 
Amps for KEF Blade 2
The amp I am looking at if I ever get space for the Blades is the new KRELL KSA-400i. I never heard it and it is very expensive. However, I own the KRELL XD175 and this new amp is priced 5x more than my amp, has great power, and the same plus more... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@benzman Ship it from USPS. It should be half that price. I did a replacement back to China with USPS and it went perfectly (a Gustard X26 Pro). What color is the 005 you have. I sold my CODA #8 amp today and was planning on buying a second 005, ... 
KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2
@dbphd Blades around Santa Barbara are limited. The best bet would be the next Los Angeles show when the Blade Meta should show up. Excel Audio in Newport Beach  had a pair of Blades a few years ago but I think they are sold now.   Wait a year a... 
Axpona 2022
The new KRELL KSA-400i amp has me very interested about spending more than I can afford. I have the KRELL Duo 175XD (love them). These new amps are supposed to be the next level up from my amp.
