Denafrips Avatar looks the goods



I really like what I see with this Denafrips Avatar, it’s looks to have the goods inside for the money, and no dvd rom slot drive or CD rom drive used either. Two transformers lot of separate regulators, many little caps to get lower esr than just big ones. lots of different outputs.

And it uses a Philips Philips CDM4/19 swing arm laser, much better than rom drives slot or tray, just a little slower to read the TOC no biggie.

It sounds like you missed out on the old price George. You were looking at this from other threads for a while. I guess you did not pull the trigger? 
And all this is free market. Economics 101. Supply and demand.

Yeah supply and demand usually make things cheaper, not more expensive. Makes me think twice about it now.

Sounds like the same problem Magico had for the $9800 A3 speaker. It was selling fast and the price increased to $12K+

Guys -- it's not uncommon for audio manufacturers to have "introductory pricing." It's a viable marketing tactic that can generate buzz for a new product. In this case, the strategy appears to be working. Besides, if the Avatar is as good as the initial reviews, then it's still reasonably priced relative to the closest competitor which is Jay's Audio.

Nah, they would have said that, to get a rush on ordering which they got without saying it.

Only if said.
