| What is the most overlooked consideration? I consider many things when buying a component. I live in the south so it gets very hot in the summer. So one of my issues is can I live with this item? Will it put out too much heat? How much will it cost me to own this item? Will my elect... | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? I am with the others. The eventual buyer purchased the item from you because he see the item that YOU LISTED. He scoured the internet and came across your original listing and contacted you. If you had not listed it on Audiogon do you think... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair Another vote for Magnepan 3.7i speakers. I have owned more speakers than I care to admit and the Magnepan's are simply incredible in the imaging and soundstage department. Avalon's are great as well. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Danny Richie is certainly a polarizing figure. I think that is his objective. After all Danny is in the business to make money. Danny gets well know speakers that have been in the wild for 20 plus years and measures them. Making claims that... | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. Just perusing the used audio sites and saw a few in your price range to consider Backert labs Rhumba 1.3 Audio Research Reference 3 BAT VK 51 SE Modwright 36.5 These are a few on a well known used audio site. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Have to agree with VThokie. I think anything recorded with autotune sucks. If you cannot sing it or record it you have no business making the freaking record! Of course there is quite a bit of music I do not like. Hey it is not my cup of tea... | |

| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Yes sorry for the confusion. The paper was a cut and paste from The Absolute sound. The paper was submitted by Vince Galbo of MSB fame. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks What are we trying to accomplish here? I repeat: Be smart here, give this paper to a licensed electrician and let him do the work. Please know that all items in this paper have been tested over 20+ years to identify definite and significant audi... | |

| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I have Magnepan 3.7i speakers. I have experimented with many different degrees of toe in. I have found for my room that having the tweeter ribbon on the inside and just a few degrees of toe in works for me. The speakers disappear and have an e... | |

| Most overrated audio manufacturers? I will add the two companies that I was underwhelmed by their gear. BAT. I have VK 3i and a vK-33. Both were exceedingly bright and sounded like mid fi. AYRE. great company and they get quite a bit of positive buzz but i had 2 different C-... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. The best DAC I have heard is the MSB Select. I have not heard the Nagra, Wadax or Playback designs. I have heard all the others mentioned in this thread and it is not even close to my ears. |
