How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer
Yes, if Chinese dealer isn't responding, get Paypal to intervene.   Note: Not all Chinese dealers are bad. I bought a defective Psvane tube from a Chinese dealer and he told me to return defective tube. Once he received tube he would send new tube... 
Acoustic Zen -- Tsunami II OR Tsunami Plus
Alycat,    Try it on both and see where it sounds best. I'm assuming it has been previously used so I would give it a few days on each component listening to familiar music. Have fun! 
How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else?
I think that Reference 3A speakers are time and phase aligned. 
Anyone listen to the new Audio Horizons VRX preamp?
As far as I know, Joseph Chow is a one-man show. His marketing man, Victor Comerchero, passed away back in 2014, so I don't think Joseph has replaced him yet. Joseph told me his primary business lately has been tuner mods and upgrades as well as u... 
Anyone listen to the new Audio Horizons VRX preamp?
Yes, I still own his original TP 2.0 preamp, but I have modified it somewhat to make it sound much better.

Clarity Cap CMR Impressions

Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Has anyone compared an Audyn True Copper cap to a Claritycap CMR in a tweeter crossover ? I would like to know what differences you heard after break-in of each cap in that location. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
This is an old thread that died a while back, but if anyone still has their AH preamp, I bought a quad of Black Gate capacitors, 470uf, 160v from Joseph and mounted them to the chassis to replace the four caps on the main pcb. After a long break-i... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
I am a firm believer in upgrading with better quality capacitors. I have improved my Reference 3a Dulcet and MMC crossovers with Audyn True Copper Max with spectacular improvements. I also have refurbished at least six vintage tuners by replacing ... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
I recently emailed Robert Lee, owner of Acoustic Zen, telling him that I was following a thread on Audiogon where certain people had upgraded the crossovers in their Crescendo speakers with superior boutique parts with excellent results. I didn't ... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I try to avoid responding to trolls but did George change his username  with hifi instead of lofi? What the...! 
Inexpensive speaker cables
The best value I've found, and I've tried many, are these from an obscure company in Colorado called Audio Envy.      http://audioenvy.com/product/speaker/nv-sp5-darkblue/         
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Astro58go,    Do you still have a Hifi-Tuning fuse in your DNA 225 amp? Have you listened to your amp with a standard(non-audiophile) fuse? I am curious if you would hear a difference.
