Hey Mike everything looking good for February 2023?

Guys after reading this review I am thinking I should sell the MSB and purchase the Topping DAC. With such a glowing review and “EndGameDAC” status it should be a no brainer right? Topping D90SE Digital-to-Analog Converter - The Absolute Sound

I am currently selling my VR5-SE speakers. My serial numbers are 0002L and 0002R which are early models. The gentleman I purchased them from was a lively character in Wilmington NC who was in the audio industry. He told me he knew Albert personally and he was the person who updated these...

If only all audio companies could match ARC level of service and customer service. I have a REF 75 that the LEDs stopped working in the VU meters. I reached out to ARC and purchased the LEDs and was impressed at the ease of contact through the purchase. In the meantime before the LEDs could get...

Merry Christmas to me! Thank you Santa Mike!

A good read in todays audio forum times. Does the Audiophile Community Have a Problem? - ecoustics.com

Does Boulder offer a black option for their equipment?

Hey I saw this video on YouTube and thought he made some great points. I hope everyone gets something from his talking points. Calling out Audiophile BS! - YouTube

So when do you reach a level in your system as an audiophile you sit back and say “This is good enough”? Any new component will sound “different” but is that an improvement? This can apply in the lowest to the highest level of gear refinement.

The Von Schweikert VR-5 Anniv MKII have served their purpose but it is time to move on. I am looking to spend around $20k for a pair, my room is 24’ wide by 19’ deep with 9’ ceilings, hardwood floors with area rug. Open to the left into a open concept kitchen and dining area not included in...
