Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds
Peter completey biased but consider karan acoustics. We showed avalons at CES several years ago and they were very well received. Gary 
For those of you who have Piega speakers...
I hope this will be some help but a warning, ignore most of what I say as I am a piega a dealer. However long before this I bought piega p8ltd as a private individual because I loved the sound - ribbons - the speed and air to my ears is hard to be... 
What are your comments on the Karan Ph2?
First and foremost I am the North American Distributor of Karan so take anything I say with a lot of salt. I have listened to the Karan Acoustics PH2 on and off for over a year, both in its original form and the new upgraded version, the MK II. I ...

DevI will have to look into this and get back to you about it. I have measured the binding post widths (WBT) and it is 5-6 mm. I tried again and can get two spades in without an issue but that of course depends on the size of the spades. I will be...

As always, the disclaimer that I am a dealer and the distributor for Karan Acoustics in North America.Dev and Husk01For what its worth I think there are two points to raise. The first is that, at least on the 650s, the posts are fairly substantial... 
Office Speakers for Vincent SV-236???
I have sold triangles that matched very well with these. They sounded lovely and customer was very happy. Good value and nice looks. Have used the celius and others. Needless to say I am a dealer but selling you nothing. Good luckGary

I will start off saying I am completely biased as we are the North American distributor for Karan Acoustics but I have been a audiophile for over 30 years, long before this ever became a business. I was looking for a new line of solid state amps t... 
Anyone on The Waifs?
As I recall there is a great live double album, history of the waifs. Its great. They are superb live, heard them in San Fran in August.Gary 
New TT ideas please
I am clearly biased, being a dealer, though I am just an audiophile like you who decided to morph into a business. I started a similar search last year for a new line to carry. We do carry verdier and it is great, classic design and awesome sound ...

ThomSage words and much better said than I could. Gary 
DPS/Schroeder Ref. Turntable
FlyinredI don't take it personally and understand the comment. Like I said I was a long time audio nut before a dealer and I raise my eyebrows a lot too. Fortunately this is not my major (or even minor) source of income (my daytime job is thoracic... 
DPS/Schroeder Ref. Turntable
For what its worth, going back to the original post regarding the dps and verdier I can make a few comments. First and most important, we do run a store which has both verdier and dps, but we don't internet sell to any degree and my partner and I ...
