| What happened? Ha! Yeah sure, but QAnon, Facebook and YouTube are experts on vax and Pharma. I love how you state you are a retired doc and then go on to say they are all egomanics and liars. Yep, you proved your theory right, "doc". Glad you're retired. And do... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Yes, I mentioned on another thread that a dealer wanted $250 deposit just to talk about what I needed and wanted. I walked out and I will never return. In this day and age for a dealer to be arrogant, unhelpful or dismissive is just plain dumb. Th... | |
| Karen Dalton: In My Own Time - Documentary Thank you for posting this, I had never heard her before, true, her voice is hard to get use to but worth it. | |
| Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon @thecarpathian2 Wow, I did not know that about Rome/Thumb up-down and was honestly doubtful for a minute - but you are totally correct. Thank you for the history lesson. One of the few times I actually felt smarter after reading through a thread ... | |
| compare I sold Bose speakers in the 80-90's when the 601 were mostly sold. Choose the Paradigm's. Especially if they are the series I, they are very old speakers and I would seriously doubt the surrounds are still good. Just one opinion of course. | |
| Bose speaker You should be able to get around $300 for them, the Series 1 is pretty old now and you can buy series 3 for about 6-800, so you won't get $600 for a Series 1. The other issue is their size and weight, shipping them will cost a good $200 give or ta... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I am also in the Bay Area and also familiar with those stores. The one who said he charges $250 - I was floored when I walked in and he told that. I had cash with me and wanted to listen to Harbeth speakers, Never did get to listen to them. All he... | |
| DAC with programmable chip(s) Your looking for a DAC like the PS Audio Direct Stream, look for DAC's with FPGA. JUst FYI, I went with a FPGA DAC since it can be upgraded for many years as the designer works to improve it. | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. When I said “all a store can offer is service” it means demo’ing audio equipment, and offering easy trade-ins and easier returns. And I’ve run audio stores myself. Yes, they can run them anyway they like, they just won’t be successful or profitabl... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I’ve many times walked into a store with thousands in cash ready to buy (not just audio, once it was for a Porsche SUV!) and walked out with nothing. The ONLY thing brick and mortar stores have to offer over the internet is service. And most don’t... | |
| Forum admiration and requested guidance For your comment about streaming. I was purely vinyl until I got a Bluesound. Yes it’s on the low end of good streaming, but it’s a great way to start and get comfortable with streaming. Start with on and get to understand streaming. It’s easy to... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system OP- I have the 590AXII, Nothing against Pass or Hegel as I was able to listen to them also, just liked the features and sound a bit more and the phono pre (MC for me) in it is fantastic. FYI, Luxman rates it 30 watts pure class A, some reviews ha... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system I went with Luxman, they have both A and AB. My speakers are only 87db efficient, but can easily get driven to 90+. I listen to everything, but female vocals and Jazz were important to me. There are plenty of great choices, I choose Luxman over o... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? WNEW NY - Allison Steele, and the rest of them. There was a great college station WFMU. | |
| How do you listen? CBD with a touch of THC. Although I agree with arch2 also. Selling your kids helps, but might be illegal depending where you live.Seriously, I spend 80% moving around, only 20% is sit down, focused listening. |
