| New stuff from spain selling at less then used Yes, I saw the attractive deal on a Levinson 336. Caveat Emptor! If it sounds too good to be true.......Way too much risk, no feedback, I guess my 333 still sounds good.Beemer | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits Any of the Dire Straits albums will work for me. BTW, the studio albums are all available as Warner Remasters now. If yours are the originals, it's time to replace 'em, the remasters are much better sonically, IMHO.beemer | |
| Should I stick to the same manufaturer? For cables:New School:Harmonic TechAcoustic ZenOld school:TransparentFor Cd player, please understand I am biased:BAT VKD5SEGood listening to you! | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Forget the power regenerator stuff, the amps draw way too much. You just solved your problem when you mention that all your stuff's plugged into one circuit, can you say bad, very bad?! I'd be on the phone to your favorite electrician, and quick.b... | |
| Should I stick to the same manufaturer? Lose the CD player AND the preamp AND the Monster Cable.You've got some nice pieces currently being crippled.Please don't get me wrong, the IkonMkII was a great player in it's day and not a bad player still for a second system.The LS1, well I find... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Ahh, dudester, what ARE we going to do with you!!!!I'd like to be a fly on the wall during one of these sessions when the amps clip. Are/were you the guy who directed the planes off the carrier catapult? I have 33H driving 10t, one of the "big pow... | |
| Wanted ads are back Good job Audiogon and Thanks As a sceptic to the "wants" returning free I will be glad to say thanks as well, good job!beemer | |
| Recycling old designs ??? Slightly off-topic but gets a good laugh from me are the Subaru ads for the "first sport-utility wagon".As far as I'm concerned, this claim is complete BS. AMC made their 4wd Eagle in a wagon, all those years ago. Public wasn't ready for the conce... | |
| What is the most decadent, most self indulgent-- I fell into the HT trap back in the late 90's. So, the Lexicon, etc, etc. I thought to myself "self, this will do good 2 channel and there's all these new HT 5.1 formats, not to mention DTS, it's gotta be good!". Ahem,.......Not a year later I com... | |
| HT Processor Dilema w/ Aerial Dan, I wanna help ya, but you'se goin' the wrong way.A multi-channel amp and HT processer does not bode well for 10t. Problem with those darn HT processors is they gotta digitize every darn thing. beemer (owner of Lexicon DC-1) | |
| Diy Watt/puppy clones: follow up Nice job! I hope that you get back as much as you gave to build them, and more! If they sound half as good as they look from your pics then you got it made.Best luck,beemer | |
| Infinity Epsilon/ Beta speakers-- Classsics??? I've got to go along with Jvogt, the RS1x series were quite good as well and a really silly bargain today. They're not perfect but damn close for the money. I've got to laugh today at the "dumbing down" of High-End. Case in point: Totem, sure, the... | |
| Infinity Epsilon/ Beta speakers-- Classsics??? Epsilons are still fairly recent and a good value used.IRS Beta....I have a set and thus my opinion will be biased, however I feel a used set of Betas with the proper frontend will stand with almost any current "reference" speaker, at a fraction o... | |
| BAT VK-5i more tube-like than new VK-50SE? "Warm lush sound with a bit of bite"Reading that I'd say the 50SE would be right up your alley!I have one, and am more than pleased with it. As to the 5i,it would be a bit more "tubey" than the 50SE. I have a VK3i on another system, and the tube e... | |
| The age old question of trusting your gut feeling His/her loss is your lesson. Move on to the next. I find there's not a lot of consideration today in any context.I sell a few items, folks can't read. I tell 'em: "I won't ship", they ask how much to ship. Sad.beemer |
