    McIntosh MA8000 - Newest Member of My Family

    Reference Cantons oh my; lucky you; did you consider separates or where you looking for their equivalent one box solution at the time? I believe the C47 and MC302 were essentially the separates version of the MA8000.

    Amp for Fyne f1-12

    Hello, Several days ago I came across an old (9 years ago) YouTube video of Myles Astor announcing that previous to the video he was unaware of the Audio Flight brand and went on to praise it. There was a link to the distributor and when I clicked on it I was brought to a page that said we...

    We just launched our 2nd listening room at Rhapsdy Audio in Sausalito! Dieses Audio, Esoteric, Holbo, Ortofon

    I came across this recently and it gave me good reason to be concerned PLUS I left 2 messages on their contact us form; no reply; no telephone number on the site either: I found this: Teac’s reputation in the U.S. had degraded over the years. Likewise, a meandering marketing approach to the...

    Hello David, The Class A F-03 has been replaced with a F-01 and the AB F-05 has been replaced with the F-02; Esoteric has already shown these pieces at a recent Hi Fi show in Japan. Do you have pricing for the new F-02? Thanks

    The Rise of the Uber-High End Integrated Amp

    Do they have representation in the US and if so what was the retail price of the previous model. Thanks to Google Translate I was able to translate from Polish to English; quite the read but no price is given.

    The Rise of the Uber-High End Integrated Amp

    I was just going to ask the same question. I came across this review from Poland and the description of the construction made me swoon; well almost. If you are of a certain age and remember Threshold or are aware of Coda you will recognize Nelson Pass’s love child; kidding...

    Looking for a new CD-player, Aesthetix, Esoteric, Lux or….

    Of course; at this level of pricing no blind buying but reviews and measurements do have their place in putting together a short list; no substitute for in-person auditions; the great audio writers of the past had the gift to describe in words the sound of a component and they were almost always...
