| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? @desktopguy I would look at the values of the jazz records. These are typically worth more than classical. A general search on Ebay, Popsike or Discogs will tell you a lot. | |
| Burmester makes a record...sort of. @ckr1969 Did you pay that price for it?? | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio One problem I feel exists within the high end industry is that the manufacturer's have to potentially supply a very wide world wide market. As such, they get fooled into thinking that because their goods can sell into one market at a highly inflat... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... TMR seem to offer the seller a fraction of what in many cases the seller could get with some judicious marketing. Sometimes the piece up for sale is not going to be that easy to sell, but not always. I would think that a little market research on ... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? OP, look for a used Esoteric DAC. Preferably one that utilizes the AKM chips. | |
| They should charge more for it… @tony1954 Your banana example is also a text book example of the term…’easy come, easy go.’ | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost The OP brings up an interesting point...is the Basis companies pricing structure for evaluating their turntables exorbitant? To some, it would certainly seem so, maybe to others, not so. The price asked for a lot of the gear in high end audio se... | |
| They should charge more for it… @onhwy61 if the competitor believes that the WB is under priced, maybe they should be buying them all up...and re-selling them at a handsome profit! Somehow, i doubt that will be happening....;0) I’m not saying the reviewer made up the statemen... | |
| They should charge more for it… @onhwy61 The fact that the WB turntable is expensive, is NOT what is being discussed here. Instead, the point that the reviewer for the Absolute Sound mini review stated...that said turntable is in fact "under priced"! Leading to the question, do ... | |
| They should charge more for it… @dayglow When a product is priced at such a level that it brings into focus a number of other items that are now available at the same price level, then it absolutely does invite comparison. So, while a turntable is not a super car, if it is pric... | |
| They should charge more for it… In my OP, I am not implying that companies like WB should not devote time and resources ( even if they have to be somewhat publicly funded) to better and better products. Instead, I am bemused by the fact that the author of the piece in the Abso... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? @whart Is spending time cleaning records a chore? Maybe. Although personally i get some amount of pleasure from the simple task of running the record through my cleaning protocol, US and vacuum, and then seeing the result. ( and hearing it too).... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead RIP Ozzy.... A voice like no other. | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @larsman I believe the Aric Mother Lode preamp does have a remote control. Volume control, but no mute. | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? The CAT is a minimalist preamp, which is totally by design. Ken Stevens, ( Mr CAT) believes that things like a remote control are not what one wants IF one is interested solely in SQ. I agree with him. |
