Shopping at Goodwill anyone?


I check out Goodwill a couple times a month for CD's . the audio equipment is not much to speak of ...until today. I saw this pair of Yamaha NX-E150 bookshelf speakers. All wood thick cabinet, 4.5" coned woofer and 1" tweeter.  I picked them up and they felt pretty substantial by weight.  hum...$6.99 each what do I have to lose.  Got home and set them up , put on my favorite B S and Tears SACD and WOW!  I was blown away...great imaging and soundstage.  They sound 4x as big as they are!   Happy Hunting today!

10 years ago, I bought my first matched separates, a Tandberg tuner, amp and pro that appeared in 3 nearby pre-owned shops. This perfect match hooked me on component matching. Browsing on Audiogon and there, I eventually went all matched Proceed/Lexicon components. I’ve been happy since converting my front speaker cabinets (15’s, 7’s and tweets) from passive to fully adjustable active crossovers/tone controls.

Pre-owned Audiogon vintage components can be connected easily to modern components with newer convertors. The sound quality of modern USB/RCA digital/HDMI/Optical/analog “connections and convertors” is clean enough to integrate great sounding vintage components. I connected my iMac27 Thunderport audio digital output to my Proceed Pro with an Amazon HDMI to digital RCA 110 volt convertor and a pass-through HDMI to my Sony TV.  Sounds and looks amazing. Happy Trails !
