| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo yes i am seeking for the opposite of what live music in most venues sounds like - cause i want a unplugged session in a tiny jazz club sitting in the first row...i am sure a bunch of people want that as well..I agree. Me too.. | |
| if you're reading this then you already know... On - I know this. Exactly my point. You've potentially excluded me as a buyer because I failed to notice your item. I'm not saying you have to go out of your way for the "shopper". That's your choice and I don't fault you if you want to be terse i... | |
| if you're reading this then you already know... Why are you even clicking on the ad if you don't already know what it is? If you're shopping for a used DAC, or Pre, or Amp, or . . .; and you haven't decided on which you will buy, then why wouldn't you click on an ad for one you're not yet famil... | |
| if you're reading this then you already know... I also think in many cases if you are looking to buy a most likely high ticket item you should know what it is, its specs and how it performs because you should have already been doing extensive homework. this is true, you should, and many/or mos... | |
| if you're reading this then you already know... This makes me crazy too. First, the fact the seller would presume I know and am not interested in any more, and second that they would waste the words telling me so, as opposed to leaving the point mute/implied.You're right, it's laziness, but IMO... | |
| Rock Maple substitute there's another thread running (search "soapstone") that discusses options. One is Ikea countertop material. If you have an Ikea near you check out their butcher block countertop material. It's not rock maple, but it's very solid and I'm very happ... | |
| Which stereo SACD's do you recommend? you didn't say what genres you prefer, but sticking with rock, Elton John "Madman Across the Water" is great. | |
| Best Way to Approach System Building I pretty much subscribe to Elizabeth's school of thought. The exception is I went through a significant system swap out last year that started the year before. But I view that as making up for lost time, having made virtually no changes the previo... | |
| b&k M200 mono amps over soundcraftsmen 5002 I can't explain it, but I expect some of the techies here may shed light. I can tell you that ** in my experience **, rated power output has little to do with quality of bass produced by amps.Some amps I've owned seem to boost bass response (Paras... | |
| b&k M200 mono amps over soundcraftsmen 5002 the M200s will probably drive the bass columns nicely but I can't say how it will compare to the 5002. I really like the M200s (I have 3 pairs of them), but the most remarkable thing about them is the overall balance, and the mid/high performance.... | |
| Members with No Feedback my practice with a zero feedback buyer and seller is to proceed with appropriate caution, and base my decision to complete the transaction on the dialog with the person (ie email or voice). Depending on the transaction size, I may respectfully ask... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Terence Blanchard "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)". This is an amazing and haunting CD, especially the second cut "Levees". I've had this in my cd player non-stop for the last week since it was delivered.I bought this after reading a... | |
| Members with No Feedback the presence of feedback for a member on A'gon is only useful to show the person is legit or not. Any system that has a binary rating scale (ie favorable, or not) is of little use otherwise. I've had a few transactions here with members who had ex... | |
| Could use some help, please you didn't say what your budget is - I'm assuming you ewant to stay in the ~$100 range. As far as speakers go - here's a couple of thoughts:1) you'd be surprised (actually stunned) by what you can get by retrofitting new drivers and a simple 1st o... | |
| Speakers for $140 or less I have a pair of Infinity Entra One's that are excellent for the money. They originally sold for ~$400 MSRP, but appear on ebay for |
