| Review: Lindemann D680 CD Player A Lindemann D680 was shipped to me today with expected arrival date of Thursday the 24th.. It has only about 100 hours on it so I expect to suffer through some days of break in before making any comments.I plan on a review of this unit as soon as ... | |
| Advice on purchasing classics amplifiers.Which one I would probably agree with Fefer 77 and say VTL. However the ARC is an extremely good amp and very stable. My guess is the ARC is a bit less of the classic tube sound if that helps your decision. You did not say what direction you wanted to take ... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220 monoblocks I use them in my system to power my Soundlab U-1's and they are wonderful. They are pretty much trouble free, self bias, provide lots of power, have control over the bass like a solid state amp and sweet like a tube amp. Here is the link if you wi... | |
| CES in Las Vegas worth the trip? Sdcampbell is correct about the sound at CES. However, it is a great learning experience to speak to the designers and importers as well as meeting other audiophiles. It's about the only chance to see this much equipment and software in this short... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? This is easy, German Beer, French Wine or Scotch Whiskey. Preferably shared with friends who care about good music.My favorites are Bitburger and Becks Beer, 1986 Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande Pauillac, or 15 year old Arberlour Scotch. | |
| How many things do you have plugged in? 17 if you count the record cleaning machine, the TV and the surround system. 11 if you count only the two channel system electronics. | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean Excerpt from Sean's post:Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if the... | |

| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I love the format ! Of every audio site I've visited, this is the only one simple to navigate. It is deceptively well designed and you only appreciate it if you attempt to post (or worse) find a post at another site.Regardless if your looking for ... | |
| My Tubed Amps Entered "Twilight Zone" The sound you describe is something I have come to associate with Tesla E 34L power output tubes. Although I like Tesla's, if your CJ uses EL34's and the factory choose that tube, I would look to that as a possible source of noise. One amplifier t... | |
| Looking for the Rosetta stone, my missing link The DCS Delius D-to-A converter with IEEE 1394 (Firewire) interface sells for $9,995, and is 24-bit / 192 kHz capable.I have read posts here at Audiogon that this is supposed to be a great D to A converter, but I have not heard one in my own syste... | |
| Thank You Audiogon. Congratulations Paulg805 , your system sounds like it would be musically enjoyable, attractive to the eye and affordable enough to make the music sound just a little sweeter.I am sincerely happy for you, and certain the Audiogon staff appreciates ... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Thanks Sean and others who have suggested cut off dates. Two to four weeks came to my mind too. On shipping, my FedEx rate charts were my start point. FedEx labels can be generated on line and printed from my computer. Tracking numbers would allow... | |
