| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 There are some pretty audio decent dealers in Kolkata. Alternatively, WhatHIFI2018 will be held in Mumbai. | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! For that kind of money, you should expect an in-home audition. | |
| Who still listens to their First Generation Cd Players? My Meridian (modification of a first generation PhilippS) died a long time ago. | |
| Whats the best sounding tube cd player up until now? Vintage or newer. Ancient Audio makes outstanding tube CD players. | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? Zu Definition 4. . . . or any other speaker with a built-in, powered subwoofer. | |

| Ranking of 1 or 2 best recorded violin masterworks in my humble opinion, first part (TMI) I once had a copy of Oistrakh playing the Beethoven violin concerto. On Melodiya. I played it "into the ground." Have not been able to replace it. (IMHO, he is under-appreciated - perhaps because so many of his performances were not well-recorded.... | |

| Deja Vu Audio in DC--are they open? Definitely alive. And as Larryi noted, visiting them is a huge treat. Not only great equipment, but great people. We are lucky to have them in the DC area. | |

| What is your listening chair? My system is in my living room where there are are two Onda sofas by Zanotta upholstered in a heavy black wool. | |
| Efficient Speakers with SS Powered Subwoofers for SET amps? I have heard the Rethms, and they do sound nice. There are a few models at different price points. But pre-owned paid of Zu Def 4s can often be had for less than 10k - whether from Audiogon or directly from Zu. | |
| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 I bought a Bakoon 12R as a back-up for my AncientAudio SET 300b. It sounds great with my ZuDef4s - albeit different from any tube SET that I have heard. Not sure how it would sound with your Devore O/96. Have you considered a different tube amplif... |
