| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. Audiogon's shipping policy and the law are two separate things. | |
| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. While the morality may be the same for professional and non-professional sellers, the laws may not be, depending on where you live. Professional sellers, ie, stores, usually bear the risk of loss in shipping. Non-professionals may not, assuming ... | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? This thread reads like an RSD support group! I am currently breaking in a pair of Gabriel Gold ICs and it is a miserable process. All of the things noted above, but it is about 2 months now and I am hearing some very good things. | |
| Any recent reliable source of Shuguang 845B tubes from China on the Ebay or web sites? As to whether the Psvanes are unreliable, distributors say a lot of things for a lot of reasons, so don’t take anything as gospel. I would ask the Florida guy about his experience with the tubes and see what he says. I’m sure he doesn’t like to be... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I'm glad. Sorry we seemed to get off on the wrong foot back in the thread, but I think you see that this hobby, much like wines, take a lot of listening (tasting) and patience. You just can't prejudge a component by what others say. You see? A... | |
| Any recent reliable source of Shuguang 845B tubes from China on the Ebay or web sites? I just bought the normal 845b whatevers. They were fairly new to the market and they didn't have all those fancy versions yet. I think they work great and sound better than the normal 845s IMO. | |
| Speaker cables from Asia I love my Kharma powercord that I bought from China for $137. I have no doubt it is genuine. | |
| My turntable hates Cat Stevens If it's only one record, it's not your turntable. Let it go. That's the biggest problem I see with vinyl. People get too obsessive about it. I can certainly understand how everyone wants their setup to be as perfect as possible, but in the rea... | |
| Any recent reliable source of Shuguang 845B tubes from China on the Ebay or web sites? I bought mine from atitubeman1. I think he's in Florida. Yes, a few bucks more, but I don't want to have to start shipping back to China and I'd rather pay a bit more for an item that lasts years. But that's me. He has some fancy ones up on Eba... | |
| First investment into a turntable Not to rain on your parade, but your old albums are likely chewed up from whatever they were played on in the past and $2-300 does not exactly equate with "beautiful sound" even from an entry level standpoint. Turntables involve a lot of moving pa... | |
| Article about us Audiophiles: 'Audiophilia Forever' I can't imagine many people taking the time to read through it. Unless you're familiar with the gear, those names mean absolutely nothing. I'm somewhat surprised the New Yorker would publish it. | |
| If I love Elvin jones I'll love.....? Elvin was a force unto himself, quite contrary to the modest and humble man he was in life. But you should also listen to Art Blakey, who played with a raw, primal feel as well. Blakey was incredible. | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? People often use the term "deep bass" when what they really mean is a speaker with a high midbass output. Juke boxes are a good example. Tons of midbass, but no real low bass. But people love jukeboxes. They’d probably be happier with one than the... | |
| What are your thoughts about moving up product line(s) within a Company? Like everything else, it depends. When I had my Naim gear, moving up the line in preamps really made a big difference and I know Transparent Cable owners are always saying how much better each upgrade was. But speakers are different, IMO. Somet... | |
| Harbeth Question I think it's the first time I've ever heard someone ask for a speaker to go with their subs rather than the opposite. Sort of like asking for a car to go with my tires. That aside, while you certainly don't need the Monitor 40s, you might consid... |
