I am quite versed with high end audio, but not on European specific equipment.  I live in the US but will be in Florence at the end of May if you would like to get together over a bottle of wine to discuss.Manrique

I live in Campbell and would love to join a club of enthusiast in high end audio.  If anything comes of this, please do contact me 408410.5909.Perhaps we could carpool to the CAS in Burlingame later this year.Manrique 
Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier
In that price range, I would definitely audition the Ayre C-5xeMP and if you want to start in tube warmth, then the Conrad Johnson Classic 2 SE, make sure you try the SE version, a few hundred more, but well worth the money.  After you have heard ... 
Choosing a Good Phono Pre for a Rega RP-1 with a Denon DL-110.
Hey gang, I just picked up a Rega RP-10 with an RB2000 tone arm.  If anyone has a recommendation on Cartridges, I'm all ears.  All of your comments have really made this journey into analog enjoyable. 
CJ Classic 2 line stage pre-amp?

CJ Classic 2 line stage pre-amp?
Wow, I just got your reply to this thread from one and half years ago. I loved the CJ sound that I got an MET-1 and had it upgraded to SE level by CJ.  After a while the warmth from the CJ got to be too much.  I have since moved on and have an Aes... 
What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
As with all things, the AudiogoN community is becoming inundated with youngsters (millennials) who are ether in it to make a buck, or just want to see how far a seller will go.  It is much easier to offer a ridiculous offer to someone over Audiogo... 
Oppo 105D as media center
I guess I am one of the few who have seen the light with Mods.  I have the Oppo 105d with the modwright truth mod (I also have an unmodded 105 to compare) and can agree with the dramatic improvement of the mod.  Lots of warmth and greater detail. ... 
You know you're an audiophile if--
You BS your wife about your new toys saying "I found those old thing in storage and just dusted them off." Then TAS arrives two days later with your newly acquired toys (all $18k of the tax return and settlement) in the editors choice section. And...
