I can hear them in other systems and in other rooms but how will they sound in my room? OTOH, I can swap out a pre/amp/cdp with relative ease. It is amazing how much d... | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR4 Gen III Speaker I've had these speakers for about 6 months also. I really, really enjoy them. I was initially going to get into home theater and ordered the center channel as well. I hooked them up to my 15 year old Adcom stuff and was stunned. I then proceeded t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Outlier,Congrats! It ships really fast considering the distance. I know what you mean about no more anticipation. Waiting for my Syrah was always somewhere on my mind. Don't worry, now all you will think about is getting home from work so you can ... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Guys,Just thought I post a quick note-I have, at last, received a large box from Australia. I just finished redoing my Sistrum rack and have put in the Syrah. I popped in some Eva Cassidy and have been listening about 10 minutes. I will post my... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Asa,I have read many, many posts regarding the subject of your last post. I have not, however, ever read one as well written. You don't happen to be the Asa that writes for Playboy do you?Regards,Patrick | |

| Cary Audio That's a great story. Cary certainly deserves its' excellent customer service reputation. I feel like customer service is being down-sized in corporate America. I have had many fustrating experiences both in and out of audio where no one seems to ... | |
| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? Man, what a tough situation. I agree with taking it back and filing an insurance claim. The last thing a good seller needs is negative feedback.I recently sold a CDP I had for 5 months. The buyer informed me the balanced outs were distorted. My pr... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Congrats Jewel. I must be getting close as I ordered mine a bit before you and 1 other person who got theirs. But I ordered the Syrah. Seems like Mick makes a batch of each at a time. Let us know how you like it next month. Also be curious to know... | |
