| The Weekend I dunno, the way the Weeknd sounds phonically reproduced as the weakened. Maybe it's just me, I thought he was pretty good. Now, not as good as GaGa was, but then again, really don't care for her much either. AB | |
| Please Educate Me Hey! I got an idea. Let's have a red forum and a blue forum. The reds can be as nasty and condescending as they wanna be and the blues can give it all away with love and understanding (read enablement and coddling). Can't we all just get along?? | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? ADC. The first pair of component speaks sold to me with my first system. We're talking 1971 or 1972. Sansui 350, Pioneer PL-A25 and these. Horrible sounding. Not the way they sounded in the showroom. An honest upstanding dealer took them back and ... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Just a couple of observations, I was perusing eBay the other day looking at McIntosh. In the listings was a MC 275. It looked just like an MC 275 until they got to the detailed pics. The side of the unit had a different name (can't remember what i... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. The poster said he was good with the amp/preamp and speakers. Still about half the responses referred to these in some form or fashion, jeeeeezzzz. Read the post and respond accordingly. Answer is source. Clearthinker noted the garbage in garbage ... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? 'arichison', I have been thinning the heard of MFSL titles for some time now. Some I'm keeping for personal use, but selling a bunch of them. Please message me with a few specific titles you're looking for. As stated in a previous post, I'm in no ... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? 'Chakster', I mainly use eBay because I have for so long. I attempted to use Discogs some time ago as a buyer and would find 20 or 30 listings for an LP title and 1 picture. Purchased a couple of titles and found the grading to be extremely poor. ... | |
| 1099-K from PayPal (tax form) Great answers here and I have nothing to add but KEEP ALL RECEIPTS! eBay became a contracted tax collector last year. Not by their choice but the states that want that extra tax money in their coffers. What I still fail to grasp is that tax has al... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? Elliott, you are correct. I search the title in eBay and use SOLD listings as a guide. I attempt to price in the sweet spot, not the highest but not the lowest either. There is where condition plays a large role. The only problem I have with aucti... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? Lewm, in this particular listing I grade each cover/disc separately, they just happen to both be Near Mint. Item was purchased by me new only a year or two ago. Probably only played once. See other listings for the disparity you describe. AB | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? Sure, no problem; https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-ALLMAN-BROTHERS-BAND-MFSL-IDLEWILD-SOUTH-OOP-NEAR-MINT-MOBILE-FIDELITY/203216904244?hash=item2f50abe034:g:HBoAAOSwjkhf1P5X | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? If you look at enough ebay listings you will see that most are not 'play graded' but 'visually graded' only. There are many sellers that have absolutely no clue on how to grade records. I always knock them down a notch or two from what the seller ... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? What an outstanding post. Reading thru pg1 and getting warm and fuzzy thoughts up until the bottom of the page where where 'sojourn98' comments on audiophiles ensconced in their nice houses with their 5K systems. Then it happened, 'inna' had to sm... | |
| Better Integrated Amp? I'm with elliottbnewcombjr. Vintage (well maintained) will give you the most bang for the buck (or pound). Back when power was rated @RMS, this was a more honest, realistic rating. Older Marantz, Sansui, Sony and Pioneer receivers shouldn't disapp... | |
| AUDIOPHILE OR JUST CRAZY ? I'm with you Geurds. As a young man I would venture off to the local HiFi store here in Phnx. Spent hours there. Purchased my first component system there. I found McIntosh and JBL there. Many yrs later duplicated that system for my personal use (... |
