RMAF 2019!
I attended the show with my kids, so I will make some comments from their perspective.  They wanted to spend most of their time in the headphone area - they loved the HiFiMan Headphones.  They also thoroughly enjoyed the new Manley Headphone Amp. ... 
What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load
I have a Classe Class D Sigma Amp 2 driving Wilson's which I am told dip down to 2 ohms.  They sound GREAT.Here is what Classe states: All amplifiers except the CA/CT-5300 have a virtually linear doubling of output between 8 ohms and 4 ohms but s... 
Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier
I auditioned the RP-7 for a weekend.  Superb!  It absolutely blew away the Parasound I had (I promptly sold it).  I returned the RP-7 when I found an LS27 used - which sounds fantastic, but I think the RP-7 sounded better to be quite honest.  I am... 
What a sad world we now live in.......
It is Walmart's loss - I used to go to Best Buy once a week to buy CD's (and in the process purchase something I didn't need), I have not stepped into Best Buy in 6 months - stupid marketing decision.  There was really nothing in the Walmart bins ... 
Parasound Halo P
If you purchase a P6, I would make sure you purchase from a reputable dealer that will let you return (I purchased mine from an out of state dealer in Montana) - otherwise you will be taking a $500 bath when you go to sell it like I did.  If you a...

Parasound service problems
The Parasound dealer I dealt with in Montana was worthless.  I was not able to return either.  I got the Halo P6 - I had never heard a worse phono stage.  I sold it after 3 months and took a $500 bath.  Sell your Parasound and say good riddance. 
Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers
Bring your favorite music and go to your local Best Buy with a Magnolia and check out Martin Logan Motion 40.  Tight bass, huge soundstage. 
Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research
I had a Bryston 3B - thought it was really harsh, dry and screechy - replaced with Classe D class - love it. I have had an ARC LS27 for all of two weeks. I am really enjoying it. My only complaint  is that the volume is on the left side. I keep re...
