| Need help in trying to trace cause of distortion My experience with this sort of distortion was many years ago using a set of Synthesis 310 speakers (Conrad Johnson). In my case, it was just one driver. In short I replaced the driver, but didn't like the fact that it wasn't anymore than a driver... | |
| Stuck at home? Make a kit!! Been building various equipment since I was in high school. The thing to be careful of is the idea that what you built is some of the best out there. "Hey everybody, look at what I did". True enough, I see those who are incredibly talented, and t... | |
| Atlantic City casinos closing... When reading this thread, I was initially unaware of the starting date, way back in 2014. Maybe some things never change. I would like to offer my observation as to who we are financially, and where we end up. In short, I am a bit above the level ... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? As to the right pricing strategy, it has worked in the past for me to Raise my price. Otherwise, the product might be considered lousy. | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... I would be sitting next to 4crowme at Western Electric. They were at the cutting edge of everything--speaker design, acoustics, amplification, radio, electric parts and tubes, you name it. And don't forget, um, phones. | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... It would have to be somewhere in the Western Electric days or even Bell Labs. Telephony had a strong interest from me, and to witness the development early on would be priceless. No doubt, there were other interests as well, given that radio was c... | |
| Selling on Audiogon There are levels of acceptability (or not) for sales. 1) Tell your friends and neighbors. (you will lose a few friends, but you'll still be stuck with your neighbors).2) Sell locally on Craig's list. Then meet with the dude that shows up in an ol... | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? Well, some of the posts speak for themselves. All the more reason to dump my remaining overstock, and return to keeping my products for my own use. Go get 'em Sony/Best Buy and the rest. | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? I have backed off from selling the products that I hand craft due to expenses incurred for the option of 'if you don't love it, send it back.' This rarely happens, but since I don't make a profit on my hobby status, it turns out that I eat most o... | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? Horns are definitely a new world experience of sound. I miss them at times, yet know that the shortcomings can be off putting as well. Funny though, when you come from horns back to a regular speaker it is in some ways disappointing. | |
| Your perfect audio sentence +1 Very good use of imaginization. I like it. Maybe something about Peachtree. Give me a moment. | |
| If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing? I live in the least populated state in the nation (Wyoming). Saying just that gives you an idea of the lack of resources here. So, it became an interest of mine to build some of the speakers and equipment, saving cost in a number of ways. I tend ... | |
| Audiophile Bass? Come to think of it, I like WAV files better than CD, although I haven't put my finger on it. I will listen closer and try to hear if there might be a cleaner bass when compared.I know that this could go on and on, but the source is the source, an... | |
| French Doors Milpai, A new room made for audio in the basement? Hmm, maybe I will go into my basement with a shovel, and start digging. That would be the only way to gain a room for audio at my place. | |
| Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell Along with the hassles of eBay, were some of the customers themselves. It was my fault trying to sell a good product on a site that resembles a garage sale... at least that was how we might be treated by the buyers. 'What is your lowest price?" go... |
