What about all those Chinese DACs?
That was a wonderful video. Thank you, Steakster.   
Six DAC Comparison
I apologize for not reading all 500+ responses, but I wanted to add that I went to Axpona this year and saw a lot of LTE Aero Dacs and Mojo Audio Mystiques. Apparently, many of the companies presenting their products preferred them for their syste... 
PayPal just blocked my account for using F&F
I think the risk is of being scammed is far greater for the buyer. I will only use Goods and Services when dealing with a stranger. I cannot afford to gamble thousands of dollars on an unknown party. I think that is crazy. In fact, I think the ask... 
Audio research 100.2 any good ?????
A correction. Audio Research does service the 100.2. Mine blew up about a year ago. Because of this thread, I thought I had a doorstop. On a whim, I contacted Audio Research. They are accepting the 100.2 for service. I had to wait about 3 months f... 
which excels at Rock and Roll
I had a lot of fun with beer, led zep, rush...and Cerwin Vega Merlin Vegas have a gut punch that really energizes hard rock.   
Suggestions for an all in one integrated with source built in
For sheer utility, reliability and great sound I love Bryston. They really don't make a bad sounding unit. I have a 90s era preamp that I use in the garage (I do a lot of projects there, it is not a throwaway space). It is a fine sounding unit. No... 
After 15 years, the Squeezebox Touch Remains Undefeated!
For a while there, I had several Squeeze Boxes around the house in different systems. It was a great system for the time. It's a real shame that Logitech abandoned the product.    After a while mine started to fail. With no support, I knew I wou... 
Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps?
This is an old thread, but still a resource. I wanted to do a follow up. The V-caps, particularly the copper foil, Teflon caps are indeed remarkable. The add clarity to the Nth degree. After over ten years with mine, used as coupling capacitors on... 
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
I think the International market is huge. Especially in Asia. Classical music is a big deal in China. There are more pianos in China now then there ever were in the West. I have noticed that most Audiophile brands are bought and sold on Ebay from ... 
??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ???
Expect to understand Classical music like never before. Symphonic music can be beautifully recorded. But in my experience,  no recording catches the immense and detailed sonics of a symphony orchestra.  Once you hear it, you gain a new understandi... 
Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ?
Ayre MX-R twenty, but I'll settle for the VX 5 Twenty. Hopefully this year.  
Bryston Preamps - What do they sound like?
I just got a later model BP-20 with the BP-PSR power supply. I would agree that it is a warm pre, tilted to the low mids, but in a very smooth and even handed way. I quite like the presentation. I did not expect to like it as much as my EAR 864. I... 
Can anyone identify this equipment?
Steve Reich/Pat Metheny/Kronos Quartet Different Trains - Electric Counterpoint. Muddy Waters, Elvis...Great taste. Possibly looking for inspiration.  This had to be 1989 or later.    Probably not an audiophile. I am a musician. Lots of musicia...

Could Class D really be that good?
Everyone loves a bargain.
