| The Music Room I've bought a number of items from them with no issue. I just purchased a preamp and it arrived with one of the capacitors detached. I contacted them, sent them a photo, and they had a prepaid shipping label to me the same day, no questions aske... | |
| Great New Linda Ronstadt Live I'm listening now on Tidal. I'm just getting over a head cold and my ears are a little stuffed up along with everything else, but it sounds nice! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Seeing the post about Deceptive Bends made me want to listen to some 10CC. Playing Greatest Hits 1972-1978. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw It was one of the better shows I've been to. The two of them on stage together, a couple of acoustic guitars each, lots of witty banter, and outstanding performances by them both. | |
| Where to go in Portland... Hey now, let's keep Echo a little on the down low so that when they post cool "new" stuff on their web site it won't be gone before I get a chance to look! | |
| Where to go in Portland... Echo Audio. They sell both new and used gear. The owner Kurt is one of the most ethical people I've met. He's talked me down from buying something that wouldn't improve my system more than once. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lyle Lovett - Pontiac. Saw him with John Hiatt last night. Wonderful show! | |
| HELP ... Need Advice/Recommendations on Tube Amp Be aware, the Rogue Stereo 100 is really a 50w or 55w amp in Triode mode which is how you are likely to prefer listening to it. The 100wpc is in Ultralinear mode where you will get tighter bass but lose a lot of the detail and nuance that mak... | |
| Upgrade from Oppo Sonica DAC I haven't owned the Sonica, but I did have an Oppo HA-1 and have an Oppo 105D. If the Sonica has the same "house" sound, then there are more musical (which to me means "less digital" sounding) DAC's out there. A used Auralic Vega will come in wa... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I got my new (to me) JVC QL-Y66F turntable yesterday and set it up last night. I started up with a not so great copy of Lynryd Skynrd's Gold and Platinum and followed with AC/DC's Highway to Hell (also a bit beat up). Both records sounded better... | |
| Spam threads gone wild... This doesn't fix the problem, but perhaps minimizes it. Try changing your view. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/recent?time_range=12I see all the SPAM posts listed at the top of the page. Anything with 0 replies is under "New Discussions... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! Early mornings are great. I'm an early riser and have a nice collection of headphones if I want to pump up the volume a little. | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! I've always noticed that music sounds better at night. I've wondered about the reasons... is it due to less use of the electric grid, less visual sensory input, less outside noise, or that I'm more relaxed in the evening and able to focus more on... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Birth of the cool - Miles | |
| Is now a good time to buy a pre-owned DAC? The only new DACs I have purchased are the Mytek Liberty (so I could see what all the MQA fuss was about) and the DAC in my OPPO HA1, which I have since sold. Both were about $1K. I spent about $500 more for a second hand Auralic Vega and it is i... |
