Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?

@tomic601 yes. I would get the gear after the owner had it for 6 months of heavy listening. I would typically keep it for about 3 months 4 months at a time. Listening everyday after work and on weekends. Sometimes just letting it run at night. @jafant long demos are key to getting a real feeling gear. I took a dealer my INFIGO METHOD 4 AND METHOD 6 stuff today for a 2 month demo while I listen to a Pilium Integrated and a Soulution 746 cd transport. Gonna let it run for the next 72 hours. Before I do any critical listening.  

@tomic601 and @jafant we INFIGO will be partnering with Stenheim and Their Ref 2 or Ref 3at the Dallas Audio show in mid March . Should sound sublime. 

Yes…. like the Japanese acknowledgment of hearing you…. 

nothing you said, convinces me of most….

Pilium Integrated and Soulution 746 CD transport-very interesting combination.

Report back your findings. 2 months is a nice stretch in determining Method 4 and Method 6.

Happy Listening!

@tomic601 .....*S*, and you won't get a argument from self re @ghdprentice /Brian....always seems a gentleman... ;)

...and whether it's grain, sand, oats, or even cockleburs, I tend to tease a tad....*g*

AMT & Walsh fan that I am, I feel I've eliminated that sort of 'roughage' from my audio diet....dome tweets and piezo versions, however, are nearly absent in my local focal locus...and the remaining pair are part of a pair of speakers kept in midrange where they don't annoy....

We all have our foibles....and means of coping...

....and, for now, I'd rather wait for Sandy Paws....;)

Happy Pre-Christmas, y'all....
