| What is the average dealer mark up? Some of those employees lived right down the road from you, right next to the English teacher...@wesheadley Well said. Does anyone else remember when the English teacher could live the "middle class" lifestyle? | |
| Non-transferable warranties? Automobile warranties are only transferrable because DOT rules require automobiles to be tracked by VIN, not by name. It's not out of inherent goodness on the part of auto manufacturers. | |
| How long is too long for interconnects? Good advice above. I ideally ALL cables would be as short as possible. But then we'd all be listening to Bose Wave Radios. My suggestions:1. For unbalanced connections, keep the lowest level connections as short as possible. These would be (in ord... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? That said can you blame a customer for attempting to secure a better price? @4425 - no. Everyone wants the best price You would think they would advertise to a highly selected mailing list.@larry5729 - most dealers do this; at least the succes... | |
| Help: ISO Beginner full setup for excellent sound on $2000 max budget So if I read Doug's post correctly, it seems that he is not fond of Omega speakers. But I'm not quite sure as Doug's critique was quite subtle...Although I recommended something different I would like to take a few seconds to rebut: it's true that... | |
| Help: ISO Beginner full setup for excellent sound on $2000 max budget I think that you could put together a very good system for well under $2K, but it probably won't be tubes and it may not be the gear brands you specified.You might look at a kit from Edwards Audio. They are a UK company that makes turntables, inte... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? richopp, crustycoot and 8th-note are spot on. With all due respect, most of you guys have no idea of what it takes to open, run and maintain a B&M audio business. To paraphrase an old saying, the best way to make a small fortune in the audio b... | |
| Art Dudley passed away. Rest in Peace The audio world just became a little bit smaller. I can't say I knew Art but I met him while working several audio shows and he was always the curious gentleman. I enjoyed Art's writing and his outlook on audio and music. | |
| Neat Iota Alpha and Iota Xplorer. Has anyone owned or auditioned either one??. I purchased a pair of Iota Alphas for my daughter, an apartment-dwelling opera singer. She loves them. I am a big fan of polydirectional speakers and reflected sound for acoustic and classical music and the Alphas sound great. The ribbon tweeter i... | |
| My list of seller red flags falconquest, I get it. We are in agreement. I was really asking the OP why he felt it necessary to create (and then advertise) a seller checklist. This is supposed to be a hobby. It it's not fun we call it work. Well, most of the time anyway... | |
| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic - Need 150wpc solid state, 100wpc Tube ... the RAAL's require 150wpc solid state, and 100wpc tubed. Just curious, why different requirements for tube vs SS? Watts are watts. | |
| New Yamaha integrated amps Steve Huff wrote a heck of a review on the S-3000 I enjoy reading this guys reviews but I don't believe a word of it. Every piece of gear he tests is the best thing since sliced bread; until it's not. I don't know if he is an enthusiastic fanbo... | |
| My list of seller red flags If an item is priced to sell you will not have to deal with low-ballers because it will sell before they get a chance to even see your ad. That is why explicitly saying "Price is firm" is unnecessary. It just makes you look stubborn and will scare... | |
| VTA on the fly small changes will not affect overhang or VTF...small changes in VTA do affect overhang and VTF. Just in a small way 😊 | |
| Question about Gamut speaker terminal GamuT speaker connectors were designed for and work best with bare wire connections. Thick spades may not fit but smaller, thinner spade connectors will, as will banana plugs. |
