| CD's or Vinyl? LPs are cool CDs are not I stream | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Plus he has zero feedback. $6500, but you get to look at the boxes. If you pay a deposit. The lack of feedback is probably fine. You can't cook up an ad this unattractive and not be legit. | |
| Does anyone have a schematic for a Classe CDP-102 they can share. A voltage issue...? | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? A guy currently listing a pair of Thiel CS 3.7 on USAM has solved the problem. His asking is over market; he shows a dozen hi-res pics of the cardboard boxes in which the speakers sit; and then this gem: * Speakers will not be unboxed for auditi... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Besides... audiophiles are routinely taken in for thousands of dollars, though not by gunmen. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? @allenf1963 Thank you. At the end of the day, I don't disagree with you. Arguably, the vast majority of the population are decent folks who don't present any risk to me, so I treat everyone accordingly, while looking for signs in the background ... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? But you missed a very important consideration - are they designed to emulate a point source of sound? @richardbrand You’re absolutely correct. It’s interesting that MBL’s founder was motivated by the desire to move about the listening room wi... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? @allenf1963 First, I am very sorry you had to suffer this encounter with random violence. Something similar happened to one of my kids recently. As situations go, carjacking doesn't have much in common with selling audio, other than the fact t... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Do some of y’all require... certain buyers to send you a copy of their major record company recording contract, or of their NBA contract before allowing them in your garage? Bet you’d want that FAXED over pronto! Also, do you give the neighbors ad... | |
| Old SS amps If this amp blows again, it’s a 100 lb boat anchor. @wrm57 Hopefully it won't blow again, but if it does I'll take it and I'll pay for freight :) | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Once I went to look at HT speakers from craigslist. The seller lived in a forlorn subdivision that even google maps was confused about, but eventually I got there, rang the doorbell, the guy swung the entry door open, and lo and behold the speaker... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? There you have it, average ordinary retirees more paranoid than a homeless tweeker at the end of a four day binge. | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? @pindac You make a good point, however history has a way of repeating itself. Early computers were the size of a warehouse and needed their own electrical substation, whereas today your smartphone runs 16 or 18 hours on a tiny charge, it fits i... | |
| Duroch Capacitors @yukio It looks like Prima Luna likes to private-label some of their components: Duroch caps, Prima Luna-branded tubes, etc. As has been pointed out already, those caps are probably just rebranded by a legit manufacturer, in the same way the ge... | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? The other day I was bored so I fed the AI a schematic and asked it to tell me all about it. It told me it was a positive / negative dual rail linear power supply, which was correct, and it went on to praise the discrete-transistor regulation stage... |
