I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
I always thought of myself as being a generation removed from Rap. I don’t listen to or have any desire to listen to most rock, any metal, or country. But I respect those that do, and don’t find it necessary to denigrate music I don’t enjoy. Doing... 
What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
Some of us have been around since AG's inception in 1997. Some of were recruited from rec.audio usenet newsgroups to join this new forum "audiogon."The AG of old is long gone. For about 7-8 years we had a great run for both listing and buying gear... 
PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines
Being the vinyl guy I'm never up on the latest digital craze. But, having recently acquired a PWD MkII I have to say, I found it very impressive, and was very content with the purchase, especially since I had to buy one new and blind. Sorry, I don... 
DAC upgrade assistance needed
Okay, I took the blind plunge and bought a new one from Underwood hi-fi. He had a decent buy. Thanks all for the assist. Now which USB cable to buy...it never ends does it! :) 
DAC upgrade assistance needed
Thanks all for the feedback. I've had the M2tech Hiface mated to the PSA DLIII for some 4 years now. It's very decent sound, considering they're old technology. But I'm in an upgrade mood, especially if I can acquire a more modern used dac for a m... 
Best Integrated, period.
the one i've owned since selling off all my class A amps, tube amps, preamps, on and on and on... Carver's ultimate receiver by Sunfire...handles any load, sounds great, and inexpensive. After years of moving gear in and out and choosing to get ou... 
FYI Anyone can use your Pay Pal account
Both PP,feebay, and another site we all now have gone down the tubes. Go back to receiving payment via Postal MO only. Anything worth selling or buying is worth waiting for. Cut out the middle man and be done with PP. 
$1000 upgrade. Opinions?
I just read the thread and my first thought was why not upgrade the Audiolab for a really nice tube integrated. Melody SP7 is but $600 currently on AG. Looks like you were channeling my thoughts even before I found the thread. Great minds think al...

iPod to iTunes
Happy to hear Macroplant worked. You'll want to ask your ? to one of the Mac users on the "PC audio" forum section on the AG forum. I just read several forum pages from Mac users who were real Mac savvy.Good luck! 
Internet radio stations that sound really good

Cayin A88T - My Favorite Amp Out of Numerous - FYI
I've owned the A70T and A50T. Both very impressive. I'm not impressed with the idea of turning over an amp just to bias it. Seems Cayin put more into the look of the A88T and skimped on the functionality of having easy bias access on top of the am...

"can i improve my system with a better cd player?"Sure thing. Buy a modest vinyl rig and you'll hear the difference vinyl brings to the plate. I've a so called 'hi end cd player'. I've also got 6 turntables. End of discussion.
