Bryston A Series Upgrade
Bryston loudspeakers are built in Canada like a BRICK OUTHOUSE. They sound great and are so reliable they come with a 20 year warranty! Nothing else does- except Bryston analog electronics! And believe me, a five year warranty runs out a lot faster than you expect. Further, today companies look at service as a profit center, not a “thank you card” to…
Dave’s Faves – Hegel V10 Phono Preamp
Hegel V10 Phono Preamp, $1650 Hegel Music Systems’ new V10 is my favorite phono preamp. Please don’t look past V10 just because it’s so inexpensive.

Let’s talk cassette decks! No, I don’t have any to SELL you. Let’s just ruminate on what was once a fabulous hobby- making cassettes. Cassettes started as a cheap dictation format. In the late 60s it became a viable, affordable MUSIC format. But… how to get high end response and beat the hiss? For me the cassette deck world began with Advent…
Magnepan MG 3.7i, Back In House!
Magnepan MG 3.7i,$8800 Per Pair, Back On Dem! Magnepan was hit as hard as any of our vendors by Covid 19. Starting in early 2020, any order placed for pans would run six months or more. Six months was just a starting point. Magnepan couldn’t predict accurately for us, so we couldn’t predict accurately for you. Availability was so limited on some…
