    Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport

    HiFi Heaven has the Audiolab 6000CDT at $499 vs $549 at Audio Advisor. Plus no sales tax ????? Net is almost $100 less. Frank, any problems or reservations about HiFi Heaven ... never dealt with them before. My finger is on the buy button.

    Buckstir's Lounge ... latest lineup!

    Traded the PrimaLuna for the new in box black edition LS50's after a 3 day audition. I love to trade gear. The Mac combo is very pleasing, may even attempt a second MC7100 ... never tried mono blocks before. The Mac combo trumps the PL tube amp to my ears, but perhaps the C712 pre is the reason...

    Gave the LS50 another audition, this time with the Mac combo. They are here to stay. Rega DACr started to cut out. Replaced with a Modi 3.

    Buckstir's Lounge ... latest lineup!

    I finally dipped my toes into McIntosh waters and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Very pleasing form factor, splendid at lower to mid volume, and responds when you hit the gas. The KEF Q350's were chosen over KEF LS50's in a shootout, I use them with the port bung center removed (2 pc.)...

    Would You Pull This Trigger ? KEF LS50 $900 New

    He has to order them from KEF direct. He has no "stock" so to speak. Guessing he needs money up front. Has now stated $927 (fees) Paypal "goods" will work. Awkward as hell though ... kind of ruining any good vibes.

    Would You Pull This Trigger ? KEF LS50 $900 New

    In a nutshell. KEF Q350's on Craigslist at $500 with factory Warranty. Call and ask how a warranty is possible. He says he is authorized KEF dealer and these are demos. From his basement! OK then, how about LS50's ? $900 shipped. New. Check KEF website and he is on their list. "HiFi Handyman"...
