What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced?
Knowing if something has been serviced would mean a lot to me.  It would indicate there was something wrong with it.  Too many if's for me.  I would never ever buy used gear.  I would also never buy a used car.  I always wonder why are they sellin... 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?
I would go with REL.  They are less detectable and they create a 3 dimensional sound stage.   
What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced?
Looks to me like the retailer you purchased this from must have known there was something wrong with it.  Kind of like buying a car and then finding out it had been in an accident.  If the dealers states his return policy in writing, you have lega... 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
I can't believe anyone would listen to FM radio to begin with.  Why would you do this?  I thought everyone in this discussion group were true audiophiles.  I am new to this.  I hate FM music stations and I am now streaming TIDAL in my car. 
I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?
Are you saying you doubled or trippled your bass by replacing your OPPO UDP-205 with a  Bryston BCD-3 CD player?  Is this even possible?  If so, could you please explain the electronics behind this? 
Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
I receive daily updates from realtors to get a feel for what homes are selling for in my area.  What amazes me is how the majority of people today live without music in their homes.  I scroll through all of the pictures room by room and 98% or mor... 
Why the facination with integrated amps?
I have not heard anyone ever mention the name ARCAM in any of the discussions.  I wonder why?  Also wonder what people think of the Parsound Halo Integrated.  I thought it sounded great for that price point and it sure can push a lot of current.  ... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
These have got to be the ugliest speakers every built.  Can you imagine putting these in a beautiful room in your house?I would probably put them in my walk in closet and keep the door closed. 
Recommendation on power amp
You say you are presently using a pair of Parasound Halo   JC1's.  Are you using these as monoblocks?  Read the specs and this is a really powerful amplifier.  Why would you need anything else? 
The truth about why modern music is so awful.
Most of the recordings today are better than those recorded 20 to 30 years ago. 
Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing?
Haelos Full Circle Album:  Pray                                           Dust                                            Earth Not AboveNOTE:  People are surprise by such an undiscovered group from the UKBeck Albumn:  Heart is a Drum             ... 
Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers?
There are only about three retailers in Colorado who have a significant amount of gear on their floor to listen to.  However, most of the retailers work out of their homes and are lucky to have two pairs from a speaker manufacturer to listen to.  ... 
Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+
I just visited the Parasound website and didn't realize their A52 amplifier is a 5 channel home theater amplifier.  I settled for an ARCAM AVR550 instead.  I wonder how much I gave up in terms of sound quality.  I wanted to find something I could ... 
A new chapter has begun.
I am new to this hobby and I do not have a clue what you are talk about when you refer to  ARC LS-17 and DS450 to a Ref 6 and Ref 75se.  A lot of these discussions use these types of abbreviations and for people like me, it is really difficult fo...
