| Vinyl that is impossible to find Prices for vinyl nowadays are just like the prices for older gear that was pure junk 40 years ago -- sellers on Facebook and EBay slap the word "vintage" on it and think that is worth an extra 80% to the price. I keep hoping I live long enough... | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! @immatthewj -- No, Matthew. Just another member tired of every post turning into a childish political bashing sideshow and feeling sorry for what admin. has to put up with just about every day. Enjoy the 4th with a 5th. | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! All right Forum Members, Admin have given this thread a warning and a CHANCE to avoid the dreaded "Removed By Mods". Grow up, keep the political bulls**t out of it, and enjoy a hot dog and a beer. Blow something up if you want to...just not this... | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? Another vote for the Cambridge Audio CXC transport. I bought an new Open Box unit about a year ago, best $400 I've spent on audio in years. Like you, I don't play CD's often, but when I do I want good sound. The CXC checked all the boxes. Happ... | |
| Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view @carlos269 -- Carlos, I don't know how long you have been an Audiogon member, but if you weren't around for the CD (Chuck Days), you will never appreciate the AC (After Chuck) days here on this Forum. There have been some argumentative blowhards ... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @norust -- Keep us informed on your decision! I was just joking with my comment about the campfire, I’m glad you weren’t offended. A year is definitely a long time -- I thought you were talking about 3 or 4 months. It makes sense to get an amp ... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @jasonbourne71 -- I find your replies on this Forum to be very refreshing. You consistently make sane and reasonable comments, and seem to always strive for value. I agree with you 100% on this Forum Question. Unless you start your campfires... | |
| Too good to be buried in a thread. @roadcykler -- I was blessed to have seen the mighty Ronnie James Dio numerous times in my formative teenage years and early adulthood. First with Rainbow, then Black Sabbath, and, of course, Dio. Loved every concert. One of the greatest voices... | |
| Integrated that blew you away I was very happy with my first Integrated Amp, which was my first "big boy" system when I turned 14 back in the mid-'70's -- a Kenwood KA-9100. That amp gave me much joy throughout High School and College. Unfortunately, it was stolen during a h... | |
| Help me choose a phono pre I also would recommend the Sutherland KC Vibe. I bought a demo model from my local brick and mortar store about 3 years ago and I am very happy with the sound and quality. I also have a Shiit Mani 2 for one of my systems and it is a bargain. | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I believe this was supposed to air on April 1st, because it most certainly is a freaking joke. Change the title to "Under $100.00", and you actually have something. | |
| Music streaming I prefer Tidal. 99.9% of my music listening consists of 1970's to Current Day Progressive Rock, 1960's to 1980's Classic Rock, 1980's to Current Day Prog Metal, Art Rock, Post Rock, and Bete Noir Jazz from all Eras (Bowie, Roxy Music, Talk Ta... | |

| Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada @newfzx7 & @grislybutter -- At no point did I condone the actions and verbiage coming from the leadership of the U.S., I was just pointing out the poker hand each country holds at the moment. It disappoints me that relations between the U.S. ... | |
| Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada @2psyop -- I have a question to ask you before this thread goes the way of most Audiogon threads (i.e.; "Deleted By Moderators" because we apparently are a bunch of toddlers whose panties get into wads due to opinions being voiced that are opposit... |
