Not impressed


Just getting sick of the Hi Fi Merry Go Around...getting ready to throw in throw in the towel. Price to performance ratio is not all that rewarding. Sucks not being able to Audition before I buy....find a a nice amp.......good luck finding a preamp to match......on and on

Milhorn,
Perhaps you misinterpreted the specific focus of my post. I made no mention regarding the current challenges of high end audio as being "a small matter to you [me] as a consumer".
You also affirmed my contention that many current users of portable music players using earbuds probably have no familiarity with high end audio when you stated that hi end audio retailers "are not doing a good job now". As far as a $100,000 system is concerned, I have neither the resources nor the interest to spend that kind of money on a system. I certainly have no problem with those that have such a system or desire one in the future. Over the years as I have bought and sold stereo equipment new from dealers or here on Audiogon I have arrived at a system that gives me much listening pleasure.
With regard to your speakers I have no knowledge of them. I can only wish you great success in your enterprise.
I was surprised to see this many responses to a post I had started after a few beers lol.
My system
Schit Bitfrost Dac
Exposure 2010S2
Into Job 225 or Exposure 3010s2 stereo amp
Focus 110
The Exposure 2010s2 provides the most texture and prat as a stand alone. When ran as a preamp into the Job 225 I get really good results but a little less thickness and snap in the upper to midrange.
Ran into the 3010s2 amp the combo gives a warm sound with huge soundstage but actually losses a lot of prat.
Maybe I should look at naim

And you're right back on that merry go round!!!
Bo is as full of, or more full of, the hot air and fiction as most of the manufacturers and reviewers who are unwittingly sabotaging the industry.

High end has become home to plenty of weirdos and fakers for sure, all looking for your $$$$.
I'm guessing Chayro's Bo shout-out was tongue-in-cheek (as opposed to head up ass).
