Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
EBM, would you care to elaborate?Mr Tennis, I assure you that my experience with In Living Stereo was all too real and left me wondering what rarified world the shop keep lives in where he can afford to be so off putting to people. I had not inten... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Had the same experience as Guppy with In Living Stereo. Too bad for them as I was considering a new Cortese. That distasteful conversation pushed me farther away from dealers and closer to the used market and I will never consider doing business w... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
The wide front baffle invites the comparision to audio note ANe and yes they are not about pin point imaging as the ANe are not about that either. That is where the comparison ends. Since I only heard the Orangutans once I cant really draw conclus... 
Ayon Cd Player to IPOD
Help us out guys! Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the sonic differences between the CD-07 and its more expensive relatives? Thanks in advance.

Thank you again. 
Ayre QB9 with a transport
Thank you! Since it is USB only, there is no convenient way to use a transport with this DAC? 
Ayon Cd Player to IPOD
I too am considering the CD-7 because of the iPOD dock. What sound quality would one be giving up if one chooses the CD-7 instead of the CD-2s or a used CD-2?

Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe
The review seems positive but on the other side, Audiofeil's response is very imformative.I would ere on the side of caution and want to hear the combo before going through with buying it. Once I have the funds for this second amp, will try to fin... 
Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe
I have a smallish room and the ANe's are in the corners producing really nice bass. Listen to mostly classical music. Will try to find that review in Stereofile. 
From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
Heard both almost side by side at a dealer. They had the 2CE anniversary and devore super 8. Liked the over all presentation of the devore and the scale / low end of the Vandersteen. Devore Nines---Best of both worlds. 
Ayon CD2 is AMAZING
Anyone have a chance to hear Ayon CD players with an Audio Note System or compare to Audio Note one box CD Players?
