| Just made my first 2 transactions on Audiogon Welcome! I will give yet another big thumbs for Discovery Cables!Their NOS.. thats New Old Stock interconnects are fantastic value for the money...I have had cables costing 10 times as much from MIT and Transparent and feel they were every bit as ... | |
| what cover versions are better than the original I hate to dis Prince,but I am think the Foo Fighters did an excellent re-make of "Nicky". Anyone care to take a stab at the Worst Re-make... Stained of Pearl Jams "Black"..Just a thought.Happy listening!JoeCustom Audio LLC | |
| Current Mirage OM series vs. Msi series speakers? I currently have both the M5SI and the OM-9. Personally, I prefer the MSI to the OM series. I believe the Mseries are more detailed and produce better more accurate bass. They are both built equally well. The OM series seems to image well close to... | |
| What did your first "real" system consist of? Good post...My first "real" system was an Adcom 545 and B & K Pro 10 Mc. I had a pair of Mirage m 290s and Mirage powered sub. I had the Nakamichi MB3 cd player and Monster Cable IC. Actually, it sounded pretty nice. I still have the adcom lay... | |
| entry level Discovery or Audience products..... Gotta vote for the Discovery. I just purchased the NOS ic's advertised here and they are excellent! Much better than the MIT 330 cvt I was using on my CDP to Preamp. They are an excellent value at 90.00 for a 1 meter pair.. Definately give them a ... | |

| Favorite used Tube Preamps I have to throw in my hat for the Audio Research LS7... I have had 2 of them.. for small mods such as cap upgrades and rolling some tubes, this is a great piece for around 700.00 add a great phono stage and this is a giant killer!Love that simple ... | |
| any drummers in the house Been playing for 12 years or so... definately recommend learning the basics.. ie a good teacher. If you dont plan to play in a band you may not need to learn to read music, but it doesnt hurt. Get yourself a nice set of drums.. used or new.. you c... | |
| Good preamp for under $300 Kkat,Bypass mode is using the preamp purely as a pass thru for your source to your amp... just using the volume pot. not the gain section of your preamp. You dont get the same volume levels as when the preamp is active. It is supposed to be a more... | |
| Good preamp for under $300 Check out the B and K Pro 10 MC. This is a great piece for your price range, has an outboard power supply and a phono section. Great american build quality.. no tone controls and a bypass mode. Best of luck,JoeCustom Audio LLC | |

| What is the best AC receptacle on the market? The Furutech FP 2g or 2r is the best that I have had..Had wattgate, ps audio.. Furutech is just built better and has a better grip than the others.Happy listening,JoeCustom Audio LLC | |
| Do you have a dedicated listening room? Yes,It was a prerequisite when buying my last home..Here is the link... everything from the flooring to theinsulation in the ceiling as well as the wiring was done with audio in mind..Well, the fact that I own an audio company helps justifyingthe ... | |
| Mirage M3-si vs OM-6 Agree with Dave, I have owned M3si and now own the M5si.. which I prefer..I also own OM9s that I use in the 2 channel section of my HT system..The Msi series is a very power hungry and low efficiency speaker and does need to be about 3 to 4 feet a... |
