| Beatles: Help ? Warren you have to know I'm teasing you. Who would not want that set?Being Japanese and un-played, it is likely worth hundreds of dollars. I am not an expert and would suggest to have a look at GEMM (or similar LP sites) for ideas as to real value... | |
| Beatles: Help ? Warren, thatÂ’s not a good set, I would value it at $34.50 total. However, since your a long time Audiogon member, I will pay you $39.50 and even spring for the shipping charges. No need to thank me, that's what friends are for ! | |

| Best digital cable to audition? Albert,I'm curious to know how the two cables you mention compare to each other. What are their strengths and weaknesses?Ketchup, I am using the Blue Jeans between my Sony 9000es and the Dolby DTS converter and frankly cannot hear any difference b... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Great review Ed, you could write for Positive Feedback.I think it's important that products like this get their due. There are many who would consider playing that old stack of LP's they have sitting around, but are frustrated at the idea of spend... | |
| Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE??? More bull and less pussy for Marco?Instead of kitty litter, how about "date-expired" breakfast cereal? Some of it looks and smells like kitty litter when it gets old and probably just as effective, provided you skip the milk. | |
| Are parts still available for vintage Klipsch? At $130.00, your making a mistake to pass them up. A pair of these at Ebay or Audiogon would fetch $750.00 or more. In fact, you could afford to spend money on making them pretty and still have a bargain. As for repairs, the tweeters are (I think)... | |

| DirecTV into DAC into preamp...... I think you would be covered for every need if you purchased DirecTV's new HD box. I bought mine about two months ago and It has outputs jacks for component video, composite video, analog out, digital coax out (RCA), digital optical out (Toslink),... | |
| TriPlanar Tips When I owned my TriPlanar I learned tip #7 by trial and error and never had problems outlined in tip #2. All this is great information, stuff learned only through the school of hard knocks. Thanks Doug. | |
| Who's got the best user name? This has been revived by the kind people at Audiogon. Thanks for asking about it Slipknot1 and to Nrchy for starting the thread. | |
| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? Tom_y, my piracy post is for amusement of course, no one would not want to be able to play CD's. If I had an ultimate machine like the Emmlabs and could not spin my favorite music, I too would be mad.The only solution I can think of is buying copi... | |
| New speakers and excessive midrange In my experience all new pieces have a break in period. The CD should be less drastic than the speakers but I cannot know for certain as I have not owned that player.My guess is your speakers will require at least 300 hours. Again, the manufacture... | |
| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? Here in a previous post of mine, I go into detail about a new revolutionary form of copy protection.Anti-Piracy | |
| New speakers and excessive midrange Joey, how many hours are on them now? Did Louis speculate about length of break in?I went though this with my Dali Megalines, they took FOREVER. This week they are moving into "magic" territory and I don't even have the tube crossover yet. So what... |
