Looking an original box/packing material for a Sony SCD-777ES
I spoke with a expert modder to the Sony SCD-1 last month about my unit. We discussed shipping and some other things. One thing to keep in mind is that the Styrofoam packaging inside the original boxes (like mine) need to be replaced if you plan t...

Yamaha NS 5000
It looks like the NS 5000 finally hit Canada but not the USA yet. Anybody who went to the recent audio show in Toronto and heard these speakers want to chime in one their impressions. The most recent reviews I have read have been rather conflictin...

@grey9hound Thanks for the feedback. I was going to send you a private message on this if no one answered my question. I have read some of your posts on the Lyngdorf.

My office room has the following dimensions, 10W x 11.5L x 9H. Not very big but would work OK with a stand mount speaker. This room is only going to be needed for about 1 to 2 years and then I move to a bigger room where a floor stander would work...

Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics.
@austinbob I saw you had previously commented favorably on the Luxman integrated sound. I was going to get the Mark Levinson 585 for the Magico A3 (great fatigue free sound). However, that system will have to wait due to space issues. The office r... 
Micromega M-100/150 field reports
Can anyone report back on the fan noise? Is it bothersome and does it run a lot? How about the temperature of the unit. Is it very high and something you worry about for longevity? I was told recently that the Ethernet port will become an ROON end...

@jafant I heard the Bryston 4B3 + BP17 Cubed with Vandersteen a few weeks ago at a very high end shop. Being a previous Bryston owner I am familiar with the sound. The top end was definitely less harsh and the sound and soundstage was similar to t...
