| Tempted to buy a Macintosh @raysmtb1,Welcome to the audio forum. I've only been in the forum for about one year, but I've met some really nice individuals that know their stuff when it comes to audio. REALLY know their stuff and happy to pass on their knowledge. Many tim... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair In my humble opinion, a little old speaker manufacturer in my hometown of Kingsport, Tennessee, has a very nice speaker out now. The Watkins Stereo Generation 4 is quite amazing. William "Bill" Watkins, Sr., and Bill, Jr. have built a solid repu... | |
| What Have I Bought? @crustycoot -- Sounds like you got high just fine without Hi-Fi. It was special, high times in the '70's when Brown Columbian with buds no bigger than a penny (and loaded with seeds) hit town to replace the Ditchweed Mexican. Don't know how many... | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time I too am curious about the allegations towards PayPal. I admit, I don't buy much merchandise using PayPal and I've never sold anything where that is the payment serviced used. So, @tkwdv34, what are the issues you are describing? I'd appreciate... | |

| Frustrated with Vinly jay73, I wonder if I'm the only one that read all the posts, especially the additional posts you made. From what I have read, the Thorens 148A is a very nice Fully Automatic Turntable. If you are looking at spending up to the $2,000 range (the p... | |
| Free to Good Homes You are truly a gentleman. Merry Christmas! | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? Bottom line, it is your money. Would I spend $30K on a DAC? Not only no...but "hell f**king no". In my opinion the price exceeds the return on what our normal human hearing can process. I'd rather spend far less on a DAC if I needed it, and if... | |
| Turntable ASW,There is a beautiful looking practically new Rega RP8 that I just saw posted on this very site. Here is a link to it. At $2,500 (including the Ania cartridge), this is a hard to pass up deal. If I had not just purchased a new turntable and ... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase "Here in Washington we have some sweet green bud that will get you there in one step: inhale."I'm with "Miller" on this one. I find it quite humorous and extremely hypocritical that individuals who have a glass or two of wine or a couple of cockt... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. I’m the first to admit, after being out of the high end audio loop since about 2000 (had to take a break or lose my sanity), I am basically a newbie again. So much has changed...and yet it remains the same. I see the same arguement about cabling t... |
