| 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. | |
| Recommendation for phono stage I would split your budget and get an SUT and a phono pre. | |
| One Sub or Two? Like most of the others, I say get 2. As for which ones to get, my first choice would definitely be Vandersteen. If they are out of your price range, REL would probably be my 2nd choice. | |
| Does this make sense The only TT's that have P mount headshells are for DJ and commercial applications. A lot of the carts that are designed for P mounts don't need a headshell. The P mount connection is part of the phono cart and connects directly. That's why all tho... | |
| Choosing a preamplifier - synergy vs. matching components I would recommend doing your phono preamp, cart and possibly an SUT or head amp if you really need one, all at once. As far as matching components goes, you have to get that right. I think someone else mentioned going with one brand. That's not a ... | |
| AC Power The last thing you want to do is get an EE involved. You don't need to be an engineer to listen to music. That being said, there's only one way to handle the situation responsibility. When it comes to power products, you have no idea what will hap... | |
| Which is best, using balanced or non-balanced connection? "Balanced rejects noise that why all professional audio gear is balanced. So doesn't matter on short cables, but anything longer than 6ft should be balanced ideally. I run 12 ft cables, all XLR." Over 99% of all pro gear isn't balanced. Pro audio... |
