| Devore / Bay Area Well , it appears @eric5kim is the owner of Tone of Music and his response shows why I didn’t buy. I have tried twice to buy equipment from him and both times he was rude and opinionated to the point of insulting. I have spent well over $20,000 in... | |
| Devore / Bay Area Tone of Music in SF sells them. I have no connection and have never brought anything from him, and wouldn't, just FYI. | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. Harbeth is a good match with PASS, but it will be a bit "laid-back", not in a bad way, it will work very well with acoustic, vocal, jazz, classical, however if you're into AC/DC or Metal music types, it will not be a good match. My opinion as I ow... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark They may sound and look the same as the Built in Denmark, but you'll always have that little doubt in the back of your mind. Although I would want what I paid for, here is one idea: bring them to the dealer and listen to his and yours side by side... | |
| Old guy needs recommendation request for old CD players / DAC I tend to agree with @russ69 , but if you do go for one you listed, the JVC is a better bet, at least JVC is still in business. And yes, as @carlsbad says, make sure you can use your outboard DAC in any case. | |
| How many speakers and AMPS do you own, and why? I used to keep stuff, and I do miss a few items, my First system for instance, a Marantz 2020, Pioneer turntable with a Shure cartridge, and Advent speakers, but more for nostalgia reasons then anything. So I found it was much more useful to sell ... | |
| Super fun and silly video That was fun. Really enjoyed Batman, Lurch and was that a Man from Uncle thrown in there? Thanks! | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks 100% on any Nachamichi. When they and cassettes were at their height, they blew everything away. I sold most of the major brands back in the 80-90's and Nachamichi's always sounded best. But it is really important to have any deck checked or purch... | |
| small AV installation company in need of invoicing @akg_ca +1, Quickbooks. Especially if you hope the business will do well, it can handle small to medium size businesses with no problem. And being online, it's always available wherever you are and is backed-up automatically. | |
| Update needed Your set up is pretty well matched, any one change will make a small difference, but not a huge one until all three are switched out. My opinion here, but I'd upgrade the turntable first, keeping mind the level of new cartridge you are aiming for,... | |
| Scratch - The Crusaders When can I use literally? You use literally to emphasize that what you are saying is true, even though it seems exaggerated or surprising. Putting on an opera is a tremendous enterprise involving literally hundreds of people. I literally crawled ... | |
| TT or cartridge upgrade? I used to sell Technics tables and Grado cartridges (among lots of others). But I never sold a Technics table with a Grado, the combination always sounded a bit 'heavy' or leaded to me. It's a shame you had a bad experience with the Dynavector, I ... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? Totally agree with we do not know what or how to measure sound differences in certain cases. I remember when CD players first came out and most everyone said they'll all sound the same. Yet when I audition several, it was clear most sounded diff... | |
| New here and saying HI! Welcome. Enjoy the show. | |
| Plant/Krauss Tour I have their two albums on constant rotation. Glad to hear their live performances are just as good. |
