| Crown XLS 1502.... real life test. For the money this thing is damn impressive! And only 8.6 lbs! 500 + watts at 4 ohms! Too bad that we'll never get John Atkinson to do a test against a big Krell or Levinson! The results would probably offend the advertisers! | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... Save your money for a REAL DarTZeel! They are really beautiful looking amps! | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... I'd like to have a Chinese DarTZeel and the original side by side so I could compare the innards! I doubt that the clone's parts quality is the same as the Swiss one's. Anyway these Chinese clone amps have NO real future value compared to the orig... | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... They DO have a DarTZeel amp clone available for $520 + shipping! And in the original colors too! | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... And dual-mono power supplies too! | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... Do I remember seeing recently a Chinese clone of a DarTZeel amp? THAT would be interesting! | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... Looks like a very well built clone of an early Levinson (Tom Colangelo). For a total of $600 this would be hard to beat! Made in China - so what! If it was done right I doubt that anybody could tell it sonically from the real thing! | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? +1 Shubert! I too have a Pioneer PLX1000/Denon 103R and it is certainly the best under $1000 TT today! And it is made in Japan (if I am not mistaken!). | |
| Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible??? +1 pkvintage! I have the Thorens 160/SME4 and 125/Rega300. Both are great TT's and capable of competing with the expensive machines! | |
| Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail Clever manipulation has enabled OPPO to clean out their back stock! Smart! | |
| Crown XLS 1502.... real life test. Does the Crown XLS 1502 sound the death knell for all the overpriced big buck amps? I am curious! | |
| Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price... Any of today's multi-format players will do just fine! Stop being so neurotic! | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? Myself, I collect and use the best vintage gear from the Golden Age of High End - 1965 - 85! That was when the most innovative (and affordable!) stuff was made! Since then prices have only risen for NO real advances in sound quality! | |
| AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT? High priced audio gear is just a trophy for high rollers! If you've got it, flaunt it! | |
