| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @don_c55 you have an excellent point. The Snob appeal of these speakers is basically non existent.( Although for the music lover, or as JV put it...the person who is an Absolute Sound listener, the 30.7’s are truly impressive!) I asked Wendell why... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! @seanheis1 I think the Tekton’s would be severely outclassed...most dynamic speakers are going to have a very hard time keeping up with these Maggie’s. OTOH, I suspect the Tekton’s will work in a much greater number of rooms. | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Yesterday at THE show in Irvine, Calif, I had a very interesting conversation with one of the manufacturer’s who was displaying his wares. He is going to be bringing to market a great new product. We discussed his pricing strategy for this product... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale @vinny55 hold on there a minute. How many of the other tables that are even 20-25 years old, even have the possibility of replacing a faulty bearing??Which particular era of Linn are you talking about? The new Cirkus bearing is a pretty major step... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 I think a lot of us forget that a $250K amp is extremely affordable for certain consumers. If you are making $250K a week, or a day, you get the picture. What baffles me a little, is why Dan chose that actual price. Clearly he has a certain market... | |
| Groove Glide. Yeah, nay or maybay??? Gruv Glide is excellent for reducing noise on used LP's. I have used it for years, but generally avoid using it on new pressings...no real need to do that. OTOH, a VG+ LP can be greatly improved with a single application of Gruv Glide.It certainly... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @fstein Maybe, except what you stated doesn't account for the 'collapse'. | |
| I hate biasing! As a prior owner of a ARC D series amp...which I actually thought was a phenomenal amp, I can definitely say that the biasing scheme was -----------criminal!My new tube amp has auto biasing, which has elevated this once serious concern to a non en... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @terpstation, I don’t happen to believe the millennial generation is not interested in the sound of actual instruments. I think that millennials have a great deal of choice in which to spend their hard earned money, if...BIG IF, HEA was more affor... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense @ronres+1The OP has certainly some very strong opinions...and those he is entitled to. OTOH, Ron is 100% correct IMHO ( notice how I use the IMHO --in my humble opinion, something that the OP would do well to sprinkle around in his post....again I... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @grannyring You bring up a good point about most of the recordings. While it is true that most of the recordings are in many ways lacking, I would think there are enough that the hobby should have enough great content for some extended period. How... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley All of your points do little to address the fact that the change in the used HEA market has occurred recently. What accounts for this broad change? Why has the free market changed so drastically in such a short period?The old idea of 'fli... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Everything you said in your above post makes some sense. However, I personally have NEVER stated that HEA is dead. The industry is certainly changing and is certainly contracting, at least in comparison to what it was in its hey day. ( Pr... | |
| What is an excellent power cable? Might want to try Rob Fritz’s Audio Art cables. Great construction quality and a nice evenly balanced SQ. | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Last time I looked, this is a public forum. How smart would it really be to name names?To say that the cables that my a’phile friend sold for a fraction of the list price weren’t very well thought of may be true...or may not be. Question ... |
