| Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience. According to one source Johnny Boey, the self styled Audio Pimp, was supposedly on the wanted list by NY and Louisiana not long before he vanished after MSS Hifi was shut down. Back in 2003 he was arrested at his home but somehow got off, although... | |

| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? It's all about recreating the reverberant field. To do it effectively the speaker needs to produce full range sound (woofers in addition to tweeters) through the reverberant section and at a level approaching that of the front primary driver level. | |
| Anyone seen audiophile lisence plates passin' by? A late friend had HIGH END on his gorgeous gray metallic 911. | |
| Art Audio - anyone know what's up? This is the first I've heard of Tom Hudson not responding, although it's been a while since he has been to a show. If indeed CommandAV was a dealer for them, by all means give them a call. Jeff there is a good guy and a straight shooter. | |
| Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015 The speakers are upgraded and singing! Oh baby, just wait till you hear them! Duke was hearing all kinds of stuff for the first time in music he knows well. | |
| What's with the buyers these days?? Theduke, if you want to negotiate maybe the best thing to do is ask what price the buyer has in mind, which you can accept or deny. Mrvordo, you might also try this, or simply not reply. | |

| SOS: Andy Bowman - Vintage Tube Services +1 on Andy. It can take him a while to fill your order but he gets it right. A no nonsense kind of guy and doesn't play games with availability and pricing like one well known guy on the west coast seems to. | |
| ARC Phono Ref 2 SE - Dealer Demo Unit Worth Price? If you buy a cartridge from the same dealer, insist on him installing and aligning it accurately, including azimuth adjustment (in my experience almost never level when viewed from the front), and included in the price. If he questions or balks at... | |
| Exogal Comet DAC Milpai, I'll give a tentative yes on bringing music on a USB stick or whatever to play. |
