| It's time for a good CD player. A refurb Sony 595 is the way to go. Great value, great sound. | |
| What three shelf stand should I purchase? Wood stand is a must, no glass or metal. Wife needs to choose the wood color, this gets her involved. Must also be open on all sides, no doors, air flow is also a must to keep the tubes cool. Consider using a laptop fan system, they are very inexp... | |
| How to pack speakers w/out original boxes? Once you have the boxes, use ridged Styrofoam, and plenty of it on all sides, not anything soft. Snuggle is the way to go for it their is any movement in the box itself damage will result. | |
| Should I burn these? No, take them to the junk car dealer and ask they be crushed, or better yet, drop them off at a Goodwill store. Pass your misery on to others. | |
| Can you plug a pre-amp into a pre-amp? Yes, I do it with chase KP1 plugged into a Kenwood C1. The kp1 gives me remote control for the C1 which doesn't have that. I love the KP1 since it also has balance and tone controls. The KP1's come up on ebay often and go for about $100, try one, ... | |
| Audio Research Contact. Did you not know that direct talking to real people is strictly forbidden under the laws and regulations of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? Luxman sound? Give me a break. The sonic qualities of these Luxman products are a myth. It is reported that quite a few double blind tests conducted and published in Japan have proved Luxman product performance is indistinguishable from many other... | |
| Stereophile Class A tables In the end it is all about 'taste', so the comparison is a vanilla vs chocolate thing. I am sure my liking vanilla is much 'better' then your liking chocolate. | |
| What is the most popular wood finish ? Old stock Brazilian rosewood, if you can find it, without going to jail getting it. I have all my ProAc speakers in this finish, absolutely stunning. | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? Elizabeth, what's wrong with 'bottom feeders'? We all must be someplace in the 'audio fish tank'. | |
| Stereophile Class A tables As always, people in the 'audio know' confuse price with the 'better' word. One has nothing to do with the other. Don't even mention the word 'worth' as that is a very subjective judgement and is wholly depending on each persons bank balance. | |
| Turntable repair in the CT, NYC, NJ, Philly area? Repair of units like the X5 are not cost effective. First no one will look at it for less then $100, and that assumes you deliver it to their door. Since units like the X5 have no parts available, you are left with salvaging from other units, and ... | |
| Why do people bid on equipment and don't come Be sure to report these people to Audiogon so they can be put on the 'black list' and not waste the time of others. | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Worst for what? Attitude? If so, two New York City shops excel at that, Lyric and Singer. I encourage all to visit those shops and check them out. Oh, you must bring your bank statements showing at least $1.5 million as a balance, otherwise they w... | |
| VPI HW-17 - Questions and Expectations Best to wait for my new to market RCM, it will feature all the processes of the VPI and Keith Monks machines but will add steam and ultra sonic technology. Will be operational at Rocky Mountain in 2013. Price point is $1000 retail. For now, use st... |
