A shout-out to Manley Labs customer service
I have to say that as of this week, "Manley Laboratories", Has in my humble yet fairly experienced opinion. "Far and Away", The best customer service I have yet to encounter in the audio industry. A fairly close second place would go to "Pass Labs... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
There "is" a Nelson Pass designed vintage SS amp that for the money and to me that is "Crazy good" sounding. The "Nakamichi PA-7", is one of his "Stasis" designs he did for them and are built like tanks and rated "200Wpc. @8Ohm" and down to 2Ohm v...

Uh oh, Umm Wolf? You mean these things are supposed to glow? I thought.....

I guess since you listen to your music "Loud"....I need to tell you that I recently tried an McIntosh, model MC402. After swapping everything over from the Pass X-350 and powering it up?  ,The difference in power was literally "astounding". Physic...

I have a Pass Lab's Original X-350.   " I LOVE it",. And I looked around and there is one on ebay that say's it's, "Mint cond. and serviced with a warranty".   Hee hee, You would still have ten grand left!       What to do?            what to do? ... 
Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report
 I just have to say that those "Prototype Speakers" mentioned above? They were far and away the most clear, full and real sounding that I heard at the show. The transients were pretty flawless. And I think the "Lamm" gear gave them wings. The room... 
Krell KMA100 monoblock AMPs versus McIntosh
I have the same conundrum as the person above and was looking around when I found this old thread. It's very hard to find out much info on these amps as well "Like Basic Specs.". I weighed these and they are 106lbs. per amp "naked". I did see that... 
Onkyo m510 grand integra
Hee hee, Yeah, a little high."$7500" 
One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.
And since I read a little above about the distancing, I have a question. What about an infinite baffle system? Are there drawbacks to such a design? Your still dealing with refraction and such from five planes. But not that pesky sixth that is beh... 
Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...
"Patience is a Virtue". Especially when it comes to Ebay. I sell tons of gear there. I buy tons of gear there as well. Man-o-man I wish I had known about this swap-meet! I believe I talked to "Lance" at the show a couple weeks back. May I come to ... 
GT Audio Works Hybrid Planar Speakers Listening Se
Does anyone know how much the new GT Audio ,GT3R, speakers per set are going for? I listened to them at the Capital Audiofest two weeks ago. I was given a flyer with the cost of the subwoofer array "Rythmic powered and controlled", that they had p... 
One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.
1st, Do not buy ported speakers. Buy line source speakers.2nd, "IF", your stuck with ported speakers? Purchase a good, servo controlled, subwoofer.3rd There always seems to be a "sweet spot", just off axis in all "point source" speakers. So "Toe I... 
Onkyo m510 grand integra
Man-o-man, Does anyone know of another M-510 for sale? While at the shop in Baltimore last week a fellow came in with a mint M-510 and the matching pre-amp. Both were beautiful pieces. I tried to purchase it. The fellow told me without a moments h... 
Oppo to cease production -- Announced yesterday...
Too much doom and gloom. What happened to OPPO is just a symptom. Weren't they actually the last DVD player manufacturer that did not offer things like "Streaming", and "Apps" other than a remote? None of that and no new innovations? And they were... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Yes Dave, but why is there never data showing any differences at all between cabling? Why wouldn’t they "Cabling companies, especially one’s having high cost cabling", show us something? A graph showing induction comparisons, Conduction compared t...
