    They remove a warp in the space/time continuum and allow the amp to bloom with liquidity as never before experienced.

    A buddy of mine accidentally touched the outputs of a Carver 9t (I forget what he said what he was doing at the time). The end result is he literally welded the speaker cables together until they burnt apart again, creating an open.

    The amp wasn't affected in the slightest (he was surprised at that) but he ruined a good pair of speaker cables. So, yes gentlemen.....don't cross the beams. Bad Juju happens when you cross the beams.

    This just popped up near me. As much as I’d LOVE to check it out myself, now’s not the time for me (unless someone here wants to buy my Parasound Halo Integrated haha).

    No affiliation. I can tell you it doesn’t have the mystery pre-outs like the last one did, based on the pics!

    Is this Musical Fidelity worth 700? It's just down the street from me.

    Seller here. Thanks for linking my ad! It's also up on USAM. I couldn't post here due to low post count despite being a member for over 15 years.

    I'm sure someone would snatch up your Parasound if you listed it. I had one previously and the MF is in another league! Plus, you know, local discount and all. :wink:

    I purchased the Tri-Vista from this fine gentleman a couple years ago. It's served me well and has never given me any issues.

    I was watching it on US Audio Mart and it sold. I couldn't act fast enough to get it. Matt had a great video on YouTube - recording with microphones.

    Yep definitely a nice guy, we chatted a bit when I was considering the piece. We are pretty close to each other so hopefully having a little hifi meetup at some point, but now I guess I’ll never hear the Tri-Vista!!

    Now that's what I'm talking about when the music sounds like that. :p<3B)

    Is the rest of that album as great sounding as that song? It's a live concert recording too. :o

    Here we can see him playing this song.

    It has arrived but, I have not had a shot to open up the box yet. Hopefully ups didn't drop it or anything so I am hopping its ok. I will get to open it up tomorrow. The Revelation Umbilical set should hopefully be here in a weeek.

    The seller has been fantastic and very nice to chat with as well.

    Seller told me he would check and see if the boxes were fit for shipping, then I never heard back from him. So I guess I have a different opinion.

    But I digress. Glad you were able to get it and I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

    You didn’t do anything wrong. No apology necessary. As for the seller, maybe he forgot all about our conversation on CP since it wasn’t listed here. It wasn’t meant to be for me to have it. Had I gotten it, I wouldn’t have been able to get the cables from Todd.

    I’m sincerely happy you got it. Enjoy it and let us all know how you like it and how it compares to other gear you’ve had and/or heard.
