| RIP Robert Lietz (Bob) - Analog Shop - Victor NY Just read about this, so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Many of us in the WNY area purchased quite a bit of audio gear from him. He always carried some great gear, played some great music and opened his store up to whomever was visiting at the ti... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. I can attest to what CDC has said about Parasound, they stopped answering their phones for customers and even sent a terse email saying that they do not have the time to talk on the phone and may not be able to answer any questions via email as th... | |
| Verum 2 - dac/amps, cable recommendations I have tried outboard stand alone headphone amps like Teac, Atoll, Rogue Audio, and they have worked well with all types of headphones. You may want to try headphone cables from Hart Audio, they make excellent aftermarket cables that are real nice... | |
| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp In my opinion after having and using both stand alone headphone amps that are tube based and solid state based, there is more bang for the buck in doing so vs. using the headphone jack on audio equipment. You get more air, dynamics, detail, separa... | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? I am a huge fan of Usher speakers like the CP- 6371, CP-6381, MIni DMD-1 Diamond, Mini DMD-2 Diamond. You cannot beat these types of speakers with using tubes or solid state. These are all floor standing models. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? Check out a pair of Usher DMD Diamond Two Floor Standing speakers, They are a very fine speaker 2.5 way, they are around 50" tall, have a curved back, biwired, with cast iron bases/stands and very nice wooden veneer sides in various finishes and p... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? The rogue rh-5 headphone amp/preamp with remote is hard to beat only 2 tubes, balanced and single ended and and very musical as well as dynamic highly recommended | |
| BAT VK80 or REX II? Question on the newer BAT preamps and phono stages, VK-80, VK-P80 and VK-90, VK-P90 have been seeing them at some real good prices, does anyone know what is going on as they seem like pretty new items? Does BAT have replacements for these items? | |
| Schiit Skoll phono stage There is one for sale on the 'mart for $350 and its practically new. | |
| My Cary SLP-05 volume control does not work This may or may not be related but I had a Cary SLP-03 preamp and the volume control from both the unit and the remote control stopped working as well as would do the opposite when trying to raise or lower the volume from either place. My buddy ha... | |
| AudioQuest PowerQuest 707 Review Just to add my two cents. Try a balanced power conditioner like an Equitech. They are a little expensive but they come up used and for what they do and what you get it greatly does wonders for your audio system. They are built like a tank and have... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. I have a pair of the LFT-16's in black oak with a pair of black oak 24" high stands looking to sell locally in the Buffalo, NY area as I do not have boxes for either. They are truly a nice full sounding speaker. | |

| Thoughts/Opinions on Technics SL-G700M2 CD/SACD Player Thank you to all who have responded. But I am still waiting to hear from some that have purchased this player and what they have experienced with its sound, operation, loading, reading and tracking discs, would they buy it again, etc.? | |
| Hi Fi Man Headphones comparisons and owner comments Thanks for the input I have received so far on the Hi Fi Man headphone comparisons. Just to say to "freediver" thanks for the input but this is where some of the original intentions of these questions on Audiogon go sideways and before you know i... |
