| New $24,000 inter-connect $24,000 will buy a lot of music. | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw, yup, DTB have been on my radar for a while now, but for some reason I’ve passed them by. I’m somewhat skeptical of young Alt-Country/Americana bands, often finding them a little weak in one way or another. But DTB aren’t young anymore, are ... | |
| How to pre clean a very dirty LP before Ultrasound Machine? @slaw, I feel your pain. Only "kind of" sorry? ;-) | |
| Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000 I haven’t heard a word about it, but worth looking into is Frank Van Alstine’s $599 stand-alone phono amp. Alstine’s an excellent designer, one who took a look at the ARC SP-3, found what he considered correctable flaws, and came up with cures for... | |
| Tune of the Day Yes! Fantastic song @slaw, written by the great Jim Lauderdale. Very reminiscent of The Everly Brothers, don’t you think? Harmony singing by the wondeful Emmylou Harris.Buddy Miller is not only a great guitarist, bandleader, and producer (he is im... | |

| Nature of the current used speaker market @tomic601, What you talkin' 'bout?! I'm talking about the used pair of Magnepan MG 20.7. | |
| Greatest debut album Well, yeah simao. What would you expect? That’s who audiophiles are. | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market @ihasaguy, Assuming you meant to say 20.7, there are a pair on Audiogon right now with an asking price of $6995, I believe it is. | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Maybe it's price is partially a result of the wire being non-directional. Drawn reeeaaal slowly through the die. Time is money, after all. ;-). I have trouble thinking of even a single pair being sold, but Bond has been at this a long time. I stil... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect I need ten pair, so I'm gonna do a reverse mortgage. | |
| Stacked Quads wiring question The problem with running a pair in parallel with a single stereo amp is that their combined impedance at very high frequencies is less than 1 ohm! And wired in series about 100 ohms in the midbass and lower. Neither a good situation, especially wh... |
