| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? I think it's ok, sometimes....The auditioning wasn't done with the undisclosed intent to buy somewhere else. If price was the issue, gave the LAS an opportunity to come close in price. "Hey man, thanks for taking the time with me the other day. ... | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light You realize that many of these kids are the future of "audiophilia" and stand to inherit our toobs, vinyl, and stuff that actually sounds good, right? | |
| Woo Audio - Best headphone amps ever? Went with LTA MZ2 and have a Cary HH-1 on order. Curious whether any folks have had occasion to compare either of these with Woos, Cavalli, etc. mentioned above.Currently using Focal Utopia, Audeze LCD2, and AQ Nighthawk. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Black Friday specials in the house (grills tbd). These are interesting. I was a huge skeptic after reading the raving "fanboy" reviews and the marketing bluster. I'll report back after I get them broken in, but they sure are fun to listen to. ... | |

So, anyone who isn't disappointed with $uper high-end and who doesn't have buyer's remorse will be and will have once he or she hears what Bo does for a lot less money.--Select items with the right "DNA" (i.e., stuff Bo likes) or that is amenable ... | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light It's possible I used to be one of those snot-nosed kids. Now, it's annoying for this curmudgeon. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I love them in the Wall Audio amps. The only objective criticism I've heard is that they get so hot that the tube sockets can fail over time. Just a matter of when. I don't know if they're true, but there are stories about the tubes being used ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congratulations! I'm sure that BAT amp sounds amazing. Not that you'd need it with the DIs, but you can run them as monoblocks, too?I have those 6c33 tubes in PSET, and they are space heaters. But, it's totally worth it. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Wel Signatures can push $50k.Your friend,Facts. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Bo aka Socrates: That was weak. I think you are mixing the $uper high end thread with the favorite budget item thread. Let us know when we can get our hands on your super-modded 3D Onkyo in 110v for the price of a Node 2. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? He said; I have no idea. | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? Ok, Bo. You’ve discussed AQ cables, before. These, although not $uper high-end, are popular items, so maybe we assume you have experience with them. I have a pair of AQ Gibraltar bi-wire and a pair of AQ CV-8 full range. Both are six feet with ban... | |
