| Is Selling Direct Viable for Manufacturers? I agree with Restock, plenty of small manufacturers will sell direct with money back after a 30 day trial, Ridge Street, Daedalus, Tyler I believe. Certainly better than a quick listen in a dealers with different ancillaries. Having said that, a r... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? I agree that expensive items may not be price sensitive, they will be in quantity. I am sure fewer units will be solved, equally a problem for manufacturers. | |
| Classification of Benz Micro cartridges Thanks guys, I had forgotten about Audiofreaks being the UK importer, it does'nt appear when you google Benz Micro. Mind you I tend not to call Audiofreaks, unless I feel like being insulted. | |
| Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275? Can I ask you Silverline experts a related question? I have heard it said that in general, the speakers need room placement well away from rear or side walls. If so, I can not accomodate them. About 2ft in front of CD racks is the best I can manag... | |
| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Just come across this thread, I am a family doctor working in the UK National Health Service and with an interest in hypertension. My word, by international standards, you guys are overtreated. Treat people with a systolic over 135? not in the res... | |
| Daedalus I have had some E mail contact with lou, who has been very helpful. I am planning a trip to RMAF to hear whichever speaker he brings this year. I have a couple of questions for Daedalus experts: Firstly, with a cluttered 20 by 20 ft room with the ... | |
| Two years on...AZ Adagios still quality performer? Yep, still using mine after over 2 years now and very happy with them. Ready to move up a level soon, but I still think they are excellent value for money. I am sure many are sold after an item ceases to be flavour of the month, which the Adagios ... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I am just about to retire at 61 and I can't put down $20000 on speakers, or anything else, where did I go wrong? Oh yes, I forgot, I still have 2 kids in college. I go back to work the day after, part time, but it was worth it, I think! | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? It is worth considering who is the weakest link in the HiFi chain of Manufacturer, distributor, retailer. It seems to me, everyone has options, but the retailer, the least. The manufacturer can reduce costs and increase margins by selling direct. ... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps So many good suggestions. For classical the new singers are wonderful, but still nowhere near Callas, Joan Sutherland and most wonderful of all Vittoria De Los Angeles. Her duets with Jossi Bjorling, just heaven As for popular, I will try not to r... | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre I have used a few of those listed above, the Lavardin IT, Karan K180 and my 4 year main amp, the Viva Solista. The latter is by a long way the best amp I have used, better than any separates. Of course it is only 22watts, but it drives my 89db spe... | |
| Daedalus Helpful replies, but still no response to the origonal question. I am seriously looking at Daedalus too and am considering the DA1.1 and Da Rma. I suppose nowone out there has the standmount speakers. I will be visiting the next RMAF, but am not s... | |
| Raven vs. Verdier La Platine The UK importer of Verdier and Raven is one and the same GT Audio. I don't want to misquote him, but since he has taken on TW, I don't think he has sold a Verdier. The latter is still a good table, but TW is better value and superlatively built. I... | |
| Power Cord for Raven One I tend to agree, the power supply does not tend to need high end power cables. I could'nt detect any difference in swapping cables around | |
| Avantgarde Duos - right for me? By chance, I use Acoustic Zen Adagios and am looking for the next step. I bought a TW accustic Raven one from the UK importer, who also imports Avantgard Duos and spent a few hours listening to them. I'm sorry, but I could'nt live with them. I can... |
