| Guidance on speaker values Elizabeth is right on the money! I would expect 10% off a new speaker as a courtesy discount. A demo 25%-40% off depending on age-condition and demand. With a used speaker even if it's a one owner and is less then a year old I would still expect 5... | |
| An audiophile dilemma From my limited experience with pro-monitors, they put you inside the recording studio not in row C or H. That means they collapse the soundstage and don't float images in a 3D holographic way as most audiophile speakers do. Maybe mid-field monito... | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? Please!!! Keep Audiogon free of TMZ fodder! | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' I think it was 90' or 91' when I went to hear the Mirage M1. I made it clear to the salesman that the M1 was not in my budget but want to upgrade my Sony cdp. The M1 room had Mark Levinson and Proceed gear. He told me not to touch the Proceed cdp ... | |

| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I recently purchased a Gregitek-Stab 1 for my Sapphire cdp and the results are more then marginal. I replaced Solid Tech-Isoclear feet, I tried to go cheap for me and the anti-tweak crowd(lol). Bass definition has improved and the overall sound is... | |
| Cartridges that work best on an OL Encounter MK3C? Drrsutliff-I love your system!!! Please don't take offense... do you feel your missing something with the OL-Aurora mk2? The OL-Calypso is on my short list of tables. Did you ever use a Dynavector-20x2 or Goldring Legacy on the Encounter? If you d... | |
| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? Consider a Proceed HPA-2. The Proceed might be a little older then some of the amps mentioned but none are better then the Proceed. | |
| Forgotten early New Wave... The Motels were hard to categorize. Their music ranged from post punk to adult contemporary. Another plus was Martha Davis, she was both eye and ear candy! Even with some chart success they are mostly forgotten. | |
| Nad M3? Need amp for Vandersteen 3 $3,000 budget I do agree with an Ayre intergrated being a solid match, but it might be short on power. You should consider a used Gryphon intergrated. Not sure what model could be had for $3k(Callisto 2100-2200)? Remember quality is cheap! | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... Vienna Acoustics-Bach Grand. The midrange is as good as it gets considering the $1k used price point. They do need a quality 100 w/ch or > ss power amp to reach their potential. If I ever consider a 2nd system these are at the top of my list! | |
| break-in--bane or boon ?? My JPS-Superconductor Q provided a "rollercoaster" type of break in. Decent within the first few hours, then they became harsh, etched and nearly unlistenable for the next 20 hours. At times I thought my tweeters might be damaged. After about 25 h... | |
| What is the best loudspeaker for a small room? Jerrypan-The Kef 203/2 is a world class speaker. Is lack of very deep bass an issue? Have you worked on room acoustics or considered a subwoofer? | |
| Best Metal Vinyl Album Black Sabbath-Vol. 4Iron Madien-Piece Of MindMegadeth-Rust In PeaceI would look for an original pressing of these recordings. | |
| Do you ration your favorite music? No, I think the key(for me) is to keep your music collection somewhat limited. This way every recording has nearly the same value and interest. |
