Actually the Vanguard retails for $4500 sans digital board. I had a $10k amp with a $5k solid state preamp and a $7k tube preamp before I demo'd the Vanguard at home. The Vanguard is exceptional and uniquely musical. In truth, I owned a $50k amp/preamp combo that didn't sound as musical as the Vanguard. I was smitten by the sound...not the price. As for the power cords, I have been through the mill and have heard how transformative they can be for a component. I also have wonderful dealers who allow me to retain the value of my purchases when upgrading. I never pay list and frequently pay a lot less than msrp. Need I school you on the importance of your source and concomitant IC? I choose carefully for sound, not for snob value or sticker price. Just so happens that sometimes the best solution does cost more...other times you find a value😚

"The Vanguard will be shipping in July with a MSRP of $3,500 U.S. the price for the optional digital module has not yet been announced. For more information, please visit"
FYI this what I found on the web...without the digital upgrade...
Thank you for schooling me Yoda..."learn I will"...
FYI...my Maggie 3.7i's with Mye Audio stands were less than your cable...speakers used, stands new...
Enjoy...
Thanks

Ps. You do not create a post like this, if you are not on a soap box...so I get it...preach brother...
Yes, released the wrong price initially and wound up at &$4500 + $1500 more for the digital board. I had Maggie's and demo'd the 20.7's before listening to the 802D's. I guess you know which ones I chose😉

As my ol'man would say...
"That's why they make Fords' and Chevy's"
I do remember your posts prior to the Vanguard coming out...you were sold before you heard it...
Thanks again for sharing...

You and soulfood would make really annoying babies together😉. Instead of playing audio police try joining the conversation!

It is YOUR post...YOU put screaming CAPS, trying to stir things up...saying you are happy with your purchase...trying to push the EXPENSIVE CABLE BUTTON...knowing how that in infuriates some members...
I personally have no problem with expensive cables...I think it is funny how you "schooled" me, that you are not impressed with what things cost just how they sound...so stated in a reply to me...
BUT yet your post has the MSRP of the cable you just bought??!!?? IN THE TITLE...
It is not until later you state you paid $5200 for them...
Your passive aggressive BS is just that...BS...I have not said one negative thing...until just now...
So, just stay on your soap box, because obviously, you enjoy the sound of your own voice...
I am not a guy that says "this sucks or that sucks", if have not heard that particular piece...I have NO comment other than how YOU have presented this subject...you went looking for confrontation...
So...there it hangs bordASS...
Thanks
