| So, what's your audio resolution for 2012? I know that won't help our ailing economy, but go cold turkey for a year or two! I have already way overspent on my system... | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 NBS Black Label II power cords! I finally made the plunge into this cable, and wow, what an incredibly amazing cord, IF all your other components are up to stuff! I started it off on my Wadia CD player in March, was totally astounded by it, then d... | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? Sometimes I don't know which is worse, defective Chinese manufactured products, or defective (or outright deceitful) American financial products (where garbage debts get packaged as high quality triple-A bonds), which most Americans and the world ... | |
| Interesting video to share.....been there? Yes, I've been there too with my Bose Acousticmass system and defintely can relate against that middle of the road audio brand in the video.... | |
| How do I know if seller is selling genuine cables? I hope we all realize that when we choose to play in the Audiogon second hand game, there is ALWAYS the RISK of getting less than promised, and it does not have to be on cables only.How do we know when buying a second hand CD player, amplifier, pr... | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? Well, my system is always lightly used because I never put too much pressure on any knobs or buttons on any of the components when I press or turn them, nor do I poke my finger in any speaker drivers and put dings in them.

| Sometimes my system sounds great, sometimes awful Maybe you should get a super duper system - the kind where the system costs more than your home, then it will sound great all the time, any day of the year...:-) | |
| krell fpb 350mc monoblock Absolutely one terrific amp and match with B&W, but be careful though, the Matrix (801) will have you after this... because it's the question that drives you, it's the question that brought you to these amps - "what is the Matrix?".....:-) | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... I think we're all getting a bit snooty around here... as for me, I think instant coffee tastes fantastic, and who needs roast & ground coffee beans, or Starbucks for that matter...:-):-( | |
| Do you buy new equipment because you are bored Not so much boredom as irrepressible curiosity is the reason I upgrade, and along the way, as the cost of my audio system skyrockets, I'm continually surprised by how much better music from the same CD can sound. I am at a point where I can't get ... | |
| Heaven or Hell Maybe it's time for an extra-audiophile affair, that is, have another audio system that is newer and sexier in sound, and will bring back the audio excitement and climax that you long for....:-) | |
