| Did Audiogon get sold to the Chinese or Russian Govt? There should be a master list of restricted words. That list was put out by Geo. Carlin hippy dippy weather man back in the 70's. I suspect the video is online | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley You are right in that I didn't mention the big gains in the market the day before the 1k+ point drop in the market. On wed it rose 932 and Thursday dropped 1063, still a loss of 131. In fact the market has dropped nearly 10% in the las... | |
| Better sound on rainy days? @mahgister My dad did not buy me a 1958 Ford, Lucky you My mother ws a single mom in the 50’s. Dad left when I was 3. So there was no one to buy a car for me. I started cutting grass when I was about 10 yrs old and saved my $$ to buy a car. T... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? the rate increase has nothing to do with audio equipment! mostly on buying homes!! How do you come up with these ideas? If the rates go UP, the Mfgs,& the home buyer pay more for borrowing $$$. That m... | |
| Better sound on rainy days? @mahgister My 1st car was a 1958 Ford with a 312 T Bird motor. It had a hood scoop which had an emblem which was just a styling cue. However, I knocked out the emblem and installed screen wire in its place. It was then a real hood scoop. On a r... | |
| Large room with low budget for speakers My room is about 5000+ Cu Ft. My floorstanders and 2 Rel subs do a great job with a 65 wpc tube amp I have done parking lots with 40 50K sq Ft with 4 PA speakers 15" w/ horns on top and a 1200 watt Crown amp that wasn't even at half volume. I ... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? Nice table Imo. I like vpi. Add the speed control if you want. I'd be glad to own one | |
| Are AI Equipment Reviews on the Horizon? The program does not taste the beverage it just writes a review. Isn’t that about what the measurebators on ASR do now? A machine listens for them and then they align their likes and dislikes according to a set or measurements which they believ... | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole I'm reminded of the rich man & Lazarus story Lazarus, the beggar died and went to Paradise. Rich man ends up in Hades and crying out to Abraham ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn th... | |
| The past meets the future Welcome Home once again It is such a pleasure to hear such fidelity and musicality from a ritual I have performed since a teenager I've often told people new to vinyl, that if they don't like the "ritual" they might not like vinyl. But there i... | |
| New arm for TW Acustic Raven one Origin Live punches way above their price. I had the Illustrious 3 which is supposedly the sweet spot. I believe there is a Mk 4 (newer version) on USAM now. | |
| Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG ahhh the promise (and curse) of free markets and capitalism.. It brought Audiogon, USAM and a lot of other venues. Use the one you like that fits your purpose. The free market has a way of correcting itself. If & when Agon does not offer v... | |
| Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG I’m a hobbyist, not in a business to make profit on used gear. As @ghasley pointed out, this site is now more geared towards dealers, nothing wrong with that but I wish they would have kept two separate fee tiers for hobbyist and dealers. I agr... | |
| Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG Seems to me like there is less and less gear listed on audiogon... compared to USAM. I have also noticed a slow down in sales. This is especially true of the higher priced goods. Or maybe I'm not looking at the "flavor of the month" gear W... | |
| REL Subwoofer to match monitor speakers similar to Raidho X-1s? Why not believe the dealer? He has already assessed your need. The T9 is the largest in the T series. with a 10 woofer. I don't believe the idea that the Rel can't provide bass. It's getting the same signal as the speaker. Just because they can't... |
