| DarTzeel’s new direction @gkelly @stereo5 Absolutely. How kind that the owner is looking to "break into" the Mid-Fi Market by offering integrated boat anchors that retail for $35,000 instead of $60,000. As we say in the South, "Bless his little heart....". Mea... | |
| Hi anyone near Cliffwood , NJ 07721 ? need favor ! I’m in NC, or I would try to help. I have sentimental attachment to items of my youth that I would love to have. I once drove 12 hours round trip to pick up a bass head for a buddy. He played bass guitar in a 1970's band, and discovered his ori... | |
| Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge. I got a good deal on a Sutherland KC Vibe, and I was blown away at the sound quality I heard for under $700. I can say the same for the Schiit Mani 2. I gave my son a Rega P3 I wasn't using to see if they would get into vinyl, and needed an inex... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @mijostyn -- Sir, I like the way you think. To the vast, VAST, majority of music lovers, the Klipsch Cornwall IV’s are an endgame, end of the search, speaker. I know the deal with Klipsch -- they are either revered or despised by members of this F... | |

| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear Most of my gear is "vintage" -- the newest additions include a set of KLH 5's (which I love) and a 2018 Dennis Had Inspire "Fire Bottle" 45 amp and matching LP3.1 preamp. My main setup is a MC-225 built in 1963 with an ARC SP17 preamp pushing Kli... | |
| I listened to a pair of Audio Research Reference 330Ms @wolf_garcia -- My Dennis Had Inspire 45 "Fire Bottle" amp and LP3.1 preamp also kick some serious rear-end, especially with Emission Labs tubes. My Forte II's sing. Dennis Had gear is woefully underappreciated...and I'm glad! I can still get h... | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. @facten -- I was heartbroken when Admin shut that thread down. It was closing in on 1,000 replies -- an Audigon record I believe. | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? One only has to watch any old episode of "South Park" featuring Mr. Mackey to understand the situation..."Drugs are bad,,,m'kay?" After seeing the Jane's Addiction show in Raleigh, NC, on September 3, 2024, it didn't take a genius to realize a... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Driver Issue @srinisr Can you send me a private message and fill me in on what happened in the thread about Schitt Audio leaving California? It looks like there were several comments, but I found it too late and it's been deleted. I'm certain someone le... | |
| Type 45 Tubes for stereo amplifiers I have a Dennis Had Inspire "Fire Bottle" amp and LP3.1 preamp, and the "Fire Bottle uses 45's. I love my Emission Labs 45's. http://www.emissionlabs.com/datasheets/EML45.html | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Dire Straits album "Love Over Gold" always sounds amazing to me. | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. If I had a nickel for every thread about cables that I gave a flying Fudge about, I'd owe 10 cents.... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @grislybutter -- I appreciate the support. I’m glad to know I’m not the only person that gets aggravated over undue censorship. If I was trying to bypass Audiogon’s ability to earn revenue, it would be one thing. But, as you said, how else are we ... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @immatthewj and @1971gto455ho -- Thank you for your kind words and interest in my post. I took the advice of @grislybutter and opened a ticket to ask Audiogon why my post regarding Watkins Stereo Center and their Generation 4 speakers was removed ... |
