I picked up my Sansui G 7000 for $20. It cost me just over a hundred to fix. This thing is incredible. I don't know how else to describe it. I will say one thing though, it is one of my most prized possessions. It is worth thousands to me.I love...

Power power power! the pa2500 provide pure power to push my dcm speakers. By far the best amp i have ever owned. I have a pair of 901 bose- looking for another pa 2500 or better(it possible)amp to push them.

The Accuphase C 200 is a pure jewel : transparent phono stage, superb architecture and design, a lot of gain ... ( So much gain in fact, that I had to buy a pair of 20 db attenuators to match the preamp and my Leak Stereo 20 ).

I played this with the stock tubes out of the box and it sounded pretty good. I then decided (based on it's relatively inexpensive price) I would see if I could coax more out of it by modifying it. I replaced the stock power cord with a shunyata venom...

Many valve amplifiers are simply poorly-made Chinese copies of designs made famous by US and UK companies, or simply ‘cookie-cutter’ circuits using generic ‘application note’ circuits. This isn't the case with Magnat's RV1.

Many may question why I am writing a review on this amplifier so many years after its introduction as well as its end of production as well. And your question is a valid one deserving of an answer, which is this: I must. And the reason I must is that...

The Hafler DH-500 amp is still rated as one of the top ten amplifiers ever designed to this day.

A sure fire future classic, this is an outstandingly good pre amp that preserves the tonal and spacial aspects of recordings. Quiet, well made and easy to accommodate as well as tweak, tremendous value given the sound on offer. A keeper !

I am chuckling reading the reviews from recent times and 10+ years ago. What I have to say is in line what others have already expressed and there will be nothing new. I have been a fan of McCormack gear for about 20 years, was using the MLD/MPD...

I must say when I first heard this preamp I was shocked at its sonics which I wasn't expecting at this price level. For a solid state preamp not too much can compete with this pre for the exception of the Pass Labs. It is also well built with quality...

This game came out in the late 90's and still remains one of the best games I have ever played. I still own the original version, bugs and all, not wanting to part with it.

There was an old Rodriguez cartoon in Stereo Review a long time ago that is a apropos of my recent audio purchase. It showed a sales person talking to a customer in an audio store. The sales person says something like this:

Great gear, solid build, extremely powerful and heavy. Detailed and musical. Quite surprised to see concept of not having 2 mono blocks but separate final stage and power supply.

Purchased the CA-600 in 1974 as part of my first really nice audio system. Still have the amp, which is in pristine condition. Had it checked out recently, as I hadn't used it for several years due to one channel not working correctly. The only issue...

This amp is truly marvelous, it is built to last. It is still sounding perfectly today since I had it almost 20yrs ago ! It matches extremely well with my harbeth hl5+ and thiel cs3.7.

Moore's law refers to the length of time it takes for technology to get twice as good for half the money. OK, I'm guilty of some hyperbole here- the AVP700 isn't intended to be twice as good as the FMJ AV8, which was the result of a ground-up R&D...

This amp landed in my lap for a SONG ($20) and all i can tell you, is this is a BAD A$$ amplifier, best 100 watt amp I've ever heard and if you can get one, SNATCH IT!

After making the commitment to get back into the warm sound that analogue audio equipment provides (not to knock solid state) I tried the Cayin H-80 hybrid with my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors, Marantz SA8003 SACD player and Clearaudio Concept...
