Manufacturers with Excellent customer service
Another happy VTL customer..... absolutely the worst in this industry.   Bea and Luke Manley are extremely rude and condescending,  have no concept of what great customer service is all about.     
Looking to use the Bluesound Vault 2i High-Res 2TB Network Hard Drive CD Ripper/Streamer
I have the Vault 2i and love it,  streaming has changed the way I listen to music.   Sure, I put all of my discs in it, but mainly use it to stream Qobuz.  Many times I will find myself playing the Hi Res version of CDs I already own

New McIntosh MA252
I have listened to the MA 252 in two systems and I would strongly lean toward it if in the market for an integrated 
Audio Research or Macintosh?
I would never buy an ARC, too many horror stories about tubes failing and causing damage....  use anything but a tube purchased from them and take your chances.  McIntosh is the more reliable brand without question.  I have owned a few McIntosh co... 
New Speaker Manufacturer Intro
Good luck, they look really nice.   One thing that would be a turn off to me is a 3 year Warranty on a Loudspeaker.   As I look at my rack I take note that my amps (tube) , preamp (tube) , headphone amp (tube) all have or had 3 year warranty when ...

Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
Call me old fashioned but I think that this is ridiculous and I would literally get up and walk out.    There are still plenty of full service audio dealers out there,   many who are happy to set up a demo within reason.   And if you are the type ...

Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching
I have used them with Revel M106, plenty of power...PSB M2, a 4 Ohm speaker...drove them no sweat.  Current and favorite pairing?  Mid Monos with my Heresy III.  Great combo,  but the latter mentioned combos sounded excellent too.    I am using KT...
