| Biggest bucks = Satifaction? Hmmmmm... My speakers are my largest expenditure and my most rewarding investment as well. They will be very difficult to upgrade. I do look every year at CES for candidates, but have yet to be tempted. Mine are the Soundlab Ultimate Ones, currently retail ... | |
| Placebo Effect...a good thing? Good grief! If we keep getting engineers like Bluefin here, I may development a powerful new respect for the numbers guys. How nice to see someone refer to the tests as misleading and advise us to "trust your ears."Audiogon is definitely on the ri... | |
| A Canadian marrying a Dutch? RE: A Canadian marrying a Dutch. Even at EBAY I see links leading to "Dutch Action". Looks like it is pretty common.Wait...........that link was "Dutch Auction." Your own action may vary, depending on how much you have to spend. | |
| Placebo Effect...a good thing? We may have recently lost some great posters at Audiogon, but if we can attract more like Hueske to contribute, we are well on our way to recovery.I like the fact that his entire ABX and engineering ideas are peripheral to the importance of the mu... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? What a wonderful lady. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. | |
| Interesting reading for ESL owners Sfrounds. Agree with you on most points, except that in my system there is absolutely no problem in hearing the difference between high end interconnects. I can put Audioquest, Cardas and Purist in my system between the turntable and phono stage, ... | |
| Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing Looking for the address..........looking for the address........ $60.00 huh, maybe I should wait until you are a little more tired of it. | |
| Tube Preamp shoot-out Based on my limited listening to these three, I would strongly consider the BAT. That decision is based on my strong dislike for ANY grain in the high frequencies. Things may have changed since I heard each of these, and I never got to try any of ... | |
| Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing David99. You got absolutely screwed! However, since you are my friend, so I am willing to go out on a limb and refund the money you paid for that first pressing. After all, what are friends for? Just email me to work out the shipping details, and ... | |
| Interesting reading for ESL owners The site looked interesting and the speakers are beautiful. I read eagerly, hoping for some revelation in audio cables for my ESL's. The disappointment came when I read the part where they said that all good interconnect cables sound the same. Tha... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Elizabeth, I hope you buried him with the portion of the musical library that you dislike. It would be a shame to listen to a great system and come across a song that suddenly reminded you of unpleasant times.One thing I got to know.......Is it tr... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Angela, do you use this on your husband, or are you still looking for Mr. Nice guy/audiophile? | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Girlfriends and wifes, how do I cope? Easy, I never allow them to listen to my system at the same time.Seriously, when my wife and I met for the first time nearly thirty years ago, I already had speakers nearly her height at one end of my living r... | |
| "White Light Monitor" (slawney's review) Slawney. I just posted positives for you. I must say that I now regret even more not having heard these at last years CES. For those who do not remember, my wife was seriously injured the first show day and I departed to be by her side, long befor... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Mhubbard. As long as it was included and the price did not suddenly rise to cover the expense to Krell for supplying it. The price the factory pays for any given part is usually five times that amount at retail ( to the end user ). Even assuming t... |
