Scansonic "Q" series
I am a Scansonic and Margules dealer and heard the Q10 at AXPONA powered by the Margules I-240. It was very good and makes for a richer, fuller sound compared to the MB-B series, especially in the midbass and midrange. I liked the sound so much bu... 
I need a extension cord with
What’s your budget? I have build really, really good ones with very thick aluminum chassis and SR Purple duplexes wired internally with DH Labs Red Wave cable. If your budget is leaner than $500, you can also consider this from Pangea and get a g... 
Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000
@audphile1 Now I’m sad. I drive an Audi, not a fancy one, and I love it. My wife’s Hyundai Santa Fe cost more than it because it’s bigger, but my Audi is quieter and more comfortable. Now I best go to a Hyundai forum and bash the heck out of their... 
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
@shkong78 You’re not the only person I know that had stomach issues at show time. A friend from my town made it on Friday but was sick all of Saturday from something he ate on Friday night. Any chance you guys ate the same thing? I hope you feel b... 
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
@mediaferret the biggest difference between the N150 and the N200 is a blacker, lower noise floor and a wider/deeper soundstage. Depending on your DAC and the overall resolution of your system, I’ve found the improvements can be minimal to substan... 
Give Up on Bacch?
@treepmeyer It sounds like you have many hesitations but are wanting to be convinced. You should follow your instinct and return it, perhaps with the intent to revisit it at a later date. You can also ask Edgar to extend the trial period, which he... 
Aurender AP20 Impressions
@hgeifman I have heard AGD amps on multiple occasions now. My brother owns the AGD Audion, and I have a client who owns the Gran Vivace. The Gran Vivace will soon be in my possession to test in my own system and also list on commission.  I’ll say... 
Aurender AP20 Impressions
@cundare2 I apologize for the delay in my response, it’s been hectic trying to wrap up to get to AXPONA this week. While I haven’t heard the R 2500 R, I have enough experience with other T+A electronics to make an educated assumption in their pres... 
What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters?
@vonhelmholtz Congrats on joining the “off the grid” club! It truly is a wonderful thing!  
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
@zlone If I’m not there, feel free to text me and we can coordinate. Same goes for anyone else that has interest in meeting throughout the weekend. My mobile number can be found on this page. Please just text, no calls, as my phone will likely be ... 
Going Tubing
I generally agree with both responses so far. Only thing to counter Jason’s comment is that while his statement is generally accurate, I would say that coloration depends on the design of the tube preamp or amp. I have heard very colored tube prea... 
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
@shkong78 I’ve heard a lot of what is in your list, and much of it is very, very good. Looks like Aries Cerat (and @worldwidewholesales overall) will have a larger room than they’ve had in previous years. This should be exciting as I’ve only hea... 
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
Hey guys, I’ll be attending for both a business and pleasure. I’ll arrive on Thursday afternoon to help with some setup, attend the industry mixer, and then be at the show from Fri-Sun morning, driving back to Minnesota mid day. I’d love to meet a...

Vivid Audio Moya 1 loudspeakers.
I have. I’m a Vivid Audio dealer and own the G1 Spirit. One of the best speakers I’ve ever heard even to those in the $200K+ range. I can only imagine the Moya M1 optimally set up in a large room with excellent electronics, but I can’t imagine man...
