| OCD mickey website and negativity. I have made 2 five-figure purchases from Mike Powell, both times he brought the items to my house for a relaxed no pressure audition. He stands by his products and in my opinion has a great set of ears and excellent decades of experience with the ... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? Some manufacturers such as Von Schweikert Audio have used speakers that have been traded in for upgraded models. They are often been lovingly owned, gone over carefully by the manufacturer and can be trusted to be of excellent value. Or the manufa... | |

| Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing? As a very satisfied VSA customer of many years. I was concerned about the title of this thread and called them today to find out whats up. I talked extensively to Damon. He was as pleasant and helpful as always and apologetic the the ball was drop... | |
| CD transport vs.streaming In these streaming versus physical media discussions I think we should also consider that the reimbursement rates (pennies) to the artists for their creativity and work are such in most streaming options that the artists can not make a decent livi... | |

| Tube Vs. SS Preamps MaxWave. Wow, congratulations! If what my guys are saying is correct the Bramma should be amazing. I know I love my L2ise better than anything else that I have heard. The stock tubes are good, but I use the Takatsuki TA-300 Bs.The Taks are really ... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Sbank, at least for they took things to the proverbial new level, more natural, dynamic, holographic, organic, and real used in Ayon pre-amp in sensitive system. I assume they would be worth a try in the BAT. The 1985 and newer Reflectors did not ... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Spencer and those using 6H30 tubes, you can indeed tube roll the 6H30s. The Russian Reflektor 6h30s from late 1970's to early 1980 have a special sound, much enhanced over the standard Supertube 6h30's. I used them in Ayon equipment. I still have ... | |
| Seller ants my credit card info If the seller has years of 100% feedback on A'gon and has a legitimate business business through which they can run your credit card, I think it is fine to use your card as your credit card company will back you strongly if there is any problems. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I enjoyed my time with later Nuforce/Nuprime designs. They sounded much more natural and liquid than the several other Class D that I tried. Worked well with Tubed pre amp. You do have to select Power cord and power conditioner carefully so noise ... | |
| What's up with Vinnie Rossi L2i SE? I have a L2iSE and with the Tak300B tubes, it is amazingly musical, beating many high quality separates. It has been 100% reliable. Best I know they sold many of these units (very popular with most who heard it at dealers) I was told that the Ross... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! I see it a bit differently. Using Pay Pal or credit card provides almost no protection to the seller as the buyer can state any reason and Pay Pal or Credit card will side with him. So I routinely buy and sell big ticket ($5000 to $50,000) items v... | |
| rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on? On my Vinni Rossi L2ise which uses Takatsuki TA-300B tubes at $1,500 a pair in the pre-amp section (which runs tubes more gently than in most amps) I turn on an hour before use as I can tell the improvement in sound quality, then leave after se... |
