In the March issue. Great review. They LOVED it. 87/100 and gave it an Outstanding Buy award. They said there is nothing at it's price point that beats it. Now that I own one for the store, I must say, I agree.

Nice table, but don't all mags love everything they review? Criticism seems to be dead.

Hi Roland_O welcome to AS!

To answer your question: yes. Would love to see an audio review like this car review: https://youtu.be/I6KFA7p7_aQ

When I test drove this car, I found the same challenges as he did.

Hit the nail on the head.

Come to think of it, did criticism ever exist?

The praise showered on every single audio product by every single reviewer has become almost comical. It's like there's not a single reviewer that dislikes even one component.

I'm working on it. It's going to be a 3 part series as I'm going to have all 3 incarnations of the Avenger over a period of time to review. I have had the basic version of the Avenger in house now since late December.

I hope you end up in part 3 with the DD version. That should be the bees knees.

Any views here how the VPI Avenger compares to a Kronos Sparta, Oracle Delphi Mk VI 2, TW Acoustic Raven with a copper platter upgrade, Avid Acutus SP or a pimped-up Brinkman Bardo?

I can summarize it for you: the Prime is superb and the Signature offers a subtle but noticeable improvement to its qualities [emoji3].
