| Esoteric SA-10 or Ayre CX-7e: Too close to call?? Sunnyjim, you are a riot. You don't want to pay full price, you don't want to ship, you don't want to pack, you don't want to pay restocking fees. Yet, you somehow want A'gon members to magically tell you which player you will enjoy listening to. ... | |
| Oppo 95 vs Sony 5400/9000/777 who owned both? How is trading a one-box player for another one-box player downsizing? Are you expecting to get over $1K for your modded Sony 777 and pocket the cash? | |
| Esoteric SA-10 or Ayre CX-7e: Too close to call?? Buy what you have heard and liked. No matter what others may say about another player, it may not be to your tastes. Get over the anxiety of thinking about other players you haven't heard and thinking they might be better, because that's just a wa... | |
| Upgrade CD player or get into LPs? Suggestions Buy the Music Hall 5.1 that a dealer has up for $600+. It's a complete plug and play unit that is good enough to give you a taste of what analog is about. Buy some new records you like from Acoustic Sounds or Music Direct and give vinyl a try. It ... | |
| Magnifyer with Light Suggestions? I think the Vivitar hand-held magnifiers are great. You can buy them at Amazon.com. | |
| Used/New Phono Preamp for Linn LP12 and Benz Micro A used Linto is a great bargain. I had a Project Tube Box 2 and the Linto is much better, IMO. Plus, the lack of loading switches makes it much easier to use - just set it up and listen. | |
| How to avoid being scammed? Offering to pay full price is a red flag, IMO. Get all the $$ up front, don't give out any personal info. | |
| Sony playstation 1 No second-grader would be caught dead with a Playstation 1. They sell them to audiophiles. | |
| Cables for Harbeth-Luxman match? If you like to listen on the louder side, the Bada 225 from Pacific Valve is very nice. 95 watt, tube hybrid - $1200. One month money back. | |
| Headphones? Anyone? When your budget is $100-$250, your choices are limited. Everybody wants great stuff, but doesn't want to spend. Doesn't happen. Sorry. I would say the $100 Sonys are pretty good, but not great. | |
| Unusual TAS bomb We'll probably find out that the unit had a bad cap or tube or whatever and the new unit will undoubtedly be spectacular. | |
| Best Place/Way To Sell My CD Collection? I sold a bunch of CDs to J&R Music World. I forgot how much they gave me, but it was probably a couple of bucks each and it was an easy sale. | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions I would contact the distributor and find out who will service the amp should a problem arise. You don't want to have to ship it back to France, do you? Unless you live there, of course! Nothing wrong with brands like Jadis, Metronome, Audio Aero -... | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Pehare - It goes to show that the song is the key to great music. Take away the great songs and all you get is bad music played well. Reminds me of Rush. | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Lord Sutch. There should be a law. |
