the first thing i thought of when i saw this thread is wondering WHAT IS THE BEST COMPONENT YOU HAVE HEARD REGARDLESS OF PRICE and THEN-what would come closest to that ideal level of performance for a more reasonable price (an item with less features or more basic cosmetics for example). If you've been in a similar situation or have similar components to the questioner i feel some obligation to offer some advice. we all live in different cities and have had different exposures to live demonstrations as well. SO why not help out someone who sounds like they are SERIOUS about getting something you have spent some time with? if they are not doing serious research then fine, let it go where it belongs- into the "who cares?" trash bin. i am always looking out for threads where i can actually learn something new having only limited exposure myself.
people who go to audio shows or live in NYC (for ex.) could really do us all a big favor
and share their experiences. It's no wonder when you google for answers Audiogon Forums come up again and again. so is this where you come for authoritative answers?
