I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@thecarpathian -- If you can figure out why our cats are jerks, please let me know and we will market the "solution" making millions of dollars in the process! My 7 month old rescues (an Orange brother and his Tortie sister) are teaching my wife a... 
Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
Other members have already provided details on each bullet point, and there is nothing that I can really add that hasn’t already been said. I will add to the discussion, however, that I would not trade, sell, or give up my MC-225 built in 1963 for... 
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@tylermunns -- I think I agree with what you said. If I read it to say, "Be big boys and girls -- if there is something you don’t agree with, don’t go running to the Admins like a "Karen In Training" Little Johnny", I could not agree more. I have ... 
Kids, Dogs, and Speakers
A second to what @kckrs said -- ain't no way 2 dogs or grandchildren are knocking Klipsch Cornwalls, LaScalla, or KHorns over.  Based on your budget, you could get NEW Cornwalls and LaScallas, and maybe a demo set of KHorns or fairly new ones.  
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question
@plasticspoon8 -- I was in a similar position last October, when I was looking for a CD player to replace a tried a true Nakamichi that I had owned since 1988 and a Sony SACD player that died.  I only had a handful of SACD's, so I weighed that aga... 
Amp — Leave on or turn off
@bigtwin -- Amen.   Other members that have chimed in know a lot more than I do, but the only thing I would add is this...If you do plan on leaving your electrical components on 24/7, make sure your Homeowners Insurance Policy is paid each month... 
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
I remember when I used to get nervous about discussing with my wife the desire to spend $1,000 for a new piece of stereo equipment. I’ve been married over 40 years, by the way. $1,000 was a lot of money for 23-year-old newlyweds.   When I sold m... 
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@cleeds, you wrote: The thread was also established to be a repository for future allegations of fraud. Those allegations of fraud create potential liability for A’gon, so the thread was properly deleted, imo.   Well, if that is the case, Aud... 
Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?
So Audiogon Mods....is this thread going to get shut down like the thread that warned us against Alien Audio Academy??    
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@cleeds -- Thank you for explaining the details regarding how to contact the Admin on this site.  It is possible that the times I used the "Contact Us" feature, Audiogon's reply may have gone into my Spam Folder.  I am fairly religious about check... 
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@larry5729 -- I agree with you that Dealers should disclose that information when posting on this site either in their Username or at the end of each comment (their actual name, company name, address, etc.).   If you had seen this post before it... 
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@deep_333 -- Sorry, but no tin foil conspiracy or massive sales collusion with kickbacks going on between myself and Verdant Audio. The REASON I tagged him was to make it easy for anyone wanting to see the thread and the comments that I mentioned ... 
Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!
@amitynick -- I'm glad you have that level of Contents Coverage.  Just be aware, certain items we own or collect have built in separate maximum amounts of coverage under Homeowners Policies that don't go up to the $350,000 as in your case.  Items ... 
Easy Come Easy Go…….BOOM!
@elliottbnewcombjr -- The other picture Nick posted of his attic is even more frightening. The hole in the roof from what I assume to be the strike looks like a meteor hit the roof! Just unreal. The sound in the house had to be deafening -- I woul... 
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
Eric Gales never disappoints me when I see him live.
