| Raysonic gone belly up, is this a hoax? Read on... This subject is not about Raysonic products or product quality, but about whether they did close shop leaving their employees out in the cold or not. | |
| sansui or yamaha Runnin...I have owned many of those '70s units over the years. The units I referred to in my previous post were just two exemples, and they do representent a good yardstick to measure by.There are exceptions to every rule of course, such as a few ... | |
| Simaudio Moon w5.3se Winoguy, I appreciate your comment, and I understand you completely about my post not helping much. By the same token, I reacted against a comment (not by you) where the brand was put on some sort of pedestal - sometimes you need to react to even ... | |
| sansui or yamaha ...''the build quailty of vintage stuff is hard to find these days''Hummmm, not really. I peeked into a vintage Sansui and Pioneer amp a few weeks ago. Parts selection and soldering was on the el-cheapo side for sure. Sound was romantic and butter... | |
| Simaudio Moon w5.3se Tom6897, I appreciate your point of view, but it is unfortunately flawed. It is somewhat unfair to throw in refurbished equipment in the mix, or ''B'' stock. Now maybe the 50% off Sim is on those types of products. If you get a refurbished Pass La... | |
| Simaudio Moon w5.3se I feel the above statement is far from true. There are no miracles in high-end audio. If something sells for 50% off, well, it might be because that's what it's worth. The manufacturer might decide on a selling price, but it's eventually the marke... | |
| Best Integrated, period. There is no universal best. One's music is someone else's noise.There may be a best for your own ears however. And it could be anything from Nad to Rowland depending on your taste...and your pocketbook. | |
| Reason for selling is... Yes of course, you are completely right! | |
| Reason for selling is... For many if not most audiophiles (but they will never admit it) this hobby is about OWNERSHIP.Most modern solid state gear and tube gear sound fine.But the flavor-of-the-month or upgraditis desease (or should we call it the itching to just change ... | |
| sansui or yamaha Another vote for the Yammy, how irrelevent this comment by Yogiboy, completely unfounded. | |
| Triode TRV A300SER Integrated The Melody 300b is a nice amplifier, but somehow has a lifeless sound to it, as do a number of those amplifiers built in China which all have in common nice shiny looks, be it automotive black or shiny chrome. Unfortunately, many of those brands s... | |
| Wadia debuts new Integrated At first look how funny this design seems to be inspired by Apple products. Let's call it the Wapple i-tuition ! ;) | |
| Electrocompaniet ECI-5 MK2? I unfortunately must agree with a previous comment made about electro's reliability. I owned the brand on two occasions - ok sound, tries to mimic tubes, but overall, not worth the money. Problems with volume control on one occasion, with humming ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialog 2 User Review Your comment ''This was my first foray into tube amplifiers'' is indicative of many ''first-timer'' experiences with glass. However as you are a non-audiophile and avid lover of compressed music like Greenday and LinkinPark, the Simaudio is a ok c... | |
| Ayre, wow My suggestion is that you stop searching as you seem to have found what you are looking for. |
