| Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2 "I have a balanced hi-fi, so require the XLR connects and USB/DAC." You require balanced components, not XLR connectors. The components themselves have to be balanced. If both pieces are balanced, XLR is typically the most common type of connecto... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Unless there is something new on the market that I'm not aware of, no surge suppressor, or any similar device, can protect your gear from lightning. It comes in through the ground and is very different than a power surge. However, most companies ... | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? "@052rc now you preaching. Listen I started out cheap as hell. Yup I have taken this high end gear a bit far but on a Friday after a long week it puts me in heaven and I’m glad I have what I have. Some do hate the high end and the fact that some ... | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? For the most part, the people you are referring to are not audiophiles. Some people hate the concept of high end audio so much, they take time out of their lives to hate it. How do you debate someone like this? You can't. Its not a level playing f... | |
| Analog output from CD player distorted I would take another look at what jeffbij mentioned about balanced and single ended connections. That might still be the problem. Balanced and single ended modes of operation are not compatible. If you want to mix them, you typically have to do so... | |

| Need to learn about Audio Research This is no way to buy audio equipment. If you're looking to fail and be unhappy with your system, this is a good way to do it. You have a pair of Magnepan 3.7's. Look at the recommendations you're getting. All are completely different and everyone... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers He has a good reputation and does a lot of business. However, now that he's very successful, he doesn't need your business and that's exactly how he treats you. I was ready to make my first purchase from him and had him on the phone. Any time I bu... | |
| Denon DP-37F Tracking Issues Move the tonearm around by hand and see if you can feel it binding up anywhere. Also, look at the bar that raises and lowers the arm so you don't have to do it by hand. Make sure its going down all the way, and that its not bent. Something may be ... | |
| F-XLR to M-RCA recommendations I would highly recommend that you don't buy anything until you can confirm that whatever type of adaptors you buy won't cause problems or even damage your system. Typically, XLR jacks and cables are used on balanced equipment and rca on single end... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. I just came back to Audiogon after a being gone for a few years. Its a completely different website than it used to be. Like most of the other audio sites, its been overrun by people that hate the concept of high end audio and post for no other re... | |
| AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection "I have always found PayPal quite helpful ...." Until they make a mistake and expect you to pay for it. They only know one thing. Its not their fault. And its your money and they have no incentive to help you. | |
| Question about Break in of Weiss DAC 204 What happened to this website? I used to post here several years ago, and we had normal discussions on audio equipment. Now, it seems like half the people here are your typical garbage type that hates audio equipment and are only here to post nega... | |
| Send in the Clowns This type of half ass crap has been going on for decades. It has nothing to do with audio equipment. Its purely emotional. The concept of high end audio and certain products like cables, offends some people to the very core if their existence. The... | |
| AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection Never use paypal or a debit card. Both directly draws money from your account. If you have an issue no one cares because its your money. If you use a credit card, its the banks money. You'll get a lot more help to recover your loss. |
