Loving it
I live in the world of “budget hi-fidelity” and basically made a sideways move by getting this NAD integrated amp to replace a similar Rotel I purchased 35 odd years ago—or so I thought! The improvement in sound quality was immediately noticeable. The clarity, transparency and richness were striking. My girlfriend who’s a little skeptical of these sort of purchases sat next to me once I had it fired up and said with wide eyes, “it’s really remarkable.” Now she’s encouraging me to upgrade other elements of our stereo and isn’t balking at all at the cost. I did have to buy a separate phono preamp as the output from my moving coil cartridge needed more juice than the built in pre amp could provide. Of course the sales folks at audio advisor were patient and helpful in guiding me through the purchase.

Great service
Jay Daku helped me with the whole process. He offered to tube the table before it shipped as well and that was a free service! It shipped quickly and was well packed. I was weary ordering a demo model but they explained what it was and the product was in mint condition in the original box. Highly recommend.

Pro-ject VCS dust cover
Great addition to my Pro-ject vc-s2 alum record cleaning machine. It simply sits on top of the machine. Unfortunately it is not made to connect with the unit by hinges but it is fine the way it is. It appears to be sturdy in construction and shipping was super quick and hassle-free.

Bass is noticeably louder upgrading
Bass is noticeably louder upgrading from an Audio Technica ATP120 to the Rega P3. It's like I bought a whole new record collection. Thank you Rega. Thank you Audio Advisor!

The sound of this cartridge
The sound of this cartridge is more than excellent and can enhance even inexpensive turntables. The person I talked to at AA was spot on and chose a winner with one. I would recommend taking your turntable to an audio store for installation even if you are good at installing

Excellent Headphones and excellent customer service
Main daily driver and probably the best headphone I own. In my opinion, also better than the new generation Hifiman 1000 SE!

Truly a Zen product!
Very well thought out unit. Very easy to change settings depending on your cartridge type. Very happy with the performance and sound quality. Sound is slightly warm, and has good dynamics. The build quality is great and unit has some heft to it! Hard to not recommend AA, they have some of the best service in the business.

Very happy with the fast
Very happy with the fast delivery/service. The reason for 4 stars is because I’m not 5 star pleased with how easy the collar twist loose. (seems a little flimsy. However and most important, I am 5 star happy at how the Pangea 4 meter run to my amplifier did not take away from the sound of my system. I couldn’t afford 12 feet of "Transparent brand”… inter connect cables. The Pangea cables sound just as revealing and -transparent- as the 1 meter cables they replaced in my (Parasound & Wilson audio) system. Yes I would recommend for applications at that level!

Good value from Pangea
In over 50 years of audio, I have always bought good quality interconnects and speaker cables, commensurate with my investment in the rest of the system. I never really bothered with changing power cords. This past year I decided to try some Pangea power cables for my streamer and DAC and was impressed with the improvement. Many folks advise that your amplifier is the place where power cords make the most impact, so I decided to try the Pangea AC9MkII with my Musical Fidelity M5Si integrated amp. First off, I was surprised at the size and weight of this cable. It is huge. The cable is very well made and fits tightly into my integrated amp. With regard to the improvement in sound; well, that's a bit hard to describe except to say everything sounds better. My system sounds more musical, with more detail and improved dynamics. In addition, the soundstage is more focused. Overall, it's just more musical, and enjoyable to listen to.

This Amplifier is right up there in sound quality with with my Bryston Amplifier, one of the best purchases I ever made.

Pangea Audio Prime Interconnect Cable-Excellent!
This is the second purchase of these cables. Well made and work very well. These are replacing Audioquest Evergreens which are good cables when they work. The rate of failures on them has been unacceptable. These will be my cables of choice going forward. Audio Advisor is the place to get them!

Excellent Belt!
Well worth the upgrade. I had a white belt that was ten years old and while it spun up eventually, things did, slowly, begin to sound off. This belt spins up to speed quickly, keeps a very even speed. All the instruments are tighter, clearer, and focused. If you have an older belt, it is likely past its prime and needs to be upgraded. Order and service from Audio Advisor was seamless and easy.

Adding a second cable
I am a fan of these cables because they deliver performance at a reasonable price.

This is a fine product
This is a fine product that works flawlessly and sounds very nice. On the other hand, contrary to many reviewers, I don’t think it sounds appreciably better playing CDs than a decent streamer. Perhaps a bit better soundstage and imaging, but to me at least the difference is subtle. Well built and works flawlessly, nice substantial remote so overall I’m very happy with the product. As usual customer service provided by AA was top notch.

I am so very happy I bought these speakers!
I did a lot of research on the Oberon 9s before going ahead and making the purchase but still, not being able to hear them first, I was a little apprehensive, given the amount of money going towards them. But I knew from previous purchases that Audio Avisor is good folks and knew I had thirty days to return if they didn't measure up. These speakers blow me away with how good they sound. I am fairly new to high end audio equiptment so my ears may not be as refined as others who have been exposed to a lot more than I have, but these are the best speakers that I have ever had the pleasure to listen to music from. As far as I know there aren't even any sales outlets in my area selling any speakers as fine as these. And they are only going to sound even better in the coming months as they get broken in! The depth of the soundstage is amazing. Sounds like you could take a high step and step right into the middle of the music. Separation of the instruments is fantastic. And the balance of the brilliant and sharp highs are precisely in line with the punchy deep bass. And I'm sure my Parasound amp, also from Audio Advisor, gives the the power and the current to sound their best. I've mostly been listening with my processor set to the Reference Stereo mode with no subwoofer in play and I still get all of the bass I need. I've been a Polk Audio fan and have three different models of floorstanding speakers of theirs. I really tried to love them but as good as they are they always left me feeling short of what I was reaching for. The Oberon 9s are the sound that I have been hoping to find. And they look sharp too with their large presence and the built in metal floorstands. And the shipping through Fed Ex by Audio Advisor was excellent as well. Both boxes plastic wrapped together on one pallet and they arrived with not even a mark on either cardboard box.

All the recent audiophile reviews
All the recent audiophile reviews are mostly accurate. These speakers are amazing value, great sound all around, great bass and treble. Audio Advisor used FedEx which damaged the boxes or the boxes were that way at the dealer. Hand Truck tears on 3 corners, fortunately no damage to the speakers. Audio Adviser did give me a call to tell me when the speakers would be delivered so all around great communication and an honest business.
