| Need to replace my Sonic Frontiers Power 3's thanks. I brought one in for repair about a decade ago and the guy is still in biz so spoke him and without his having seen the unit he said I could be talking of upwards of $6-$10k (I smelled something burning in the amp just before it blew). ... | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 Thanks to all for the recommendations. I have a question about the Sony with the modwright modifications. I remember from years ago that one of the problems with Sony was that they discontinued parts relatively quickly and it became a problem if y... | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 sorry, was looking on the Quest For Sound site...didn't realize you meant the Meridian 808 on sale here on Audiogon....somehow don't think haggling will get the price to anywhere near the $3,000 or so i am looking to spend...i'm sure it's a great ... | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 Thanks Chayro. Who makes the 808? Didn't see one on the Quest For Sound site but maybe i'm missing it. | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 ZD542, i loved the Meridian sound (to my ears very "warm" and "musical") so i'm looking for something in the vein if that makes sense. | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation Thanks for the initial responses. Like Richard Dreyfuss says to the car dealer in Tin Men when asked how much he wants to spend, my answer is $1.00. Seriously though, i would be willing to spend up to $5,000 or $6,000 if i had to but would prefer ... | |
| Speaker recommendation - 3K budget i've been a Thiel owner for a long time and have just kept upgrading (i'm currently using the Thiel 6s which i got used through Audiogon for $3800...more then you say you want to spend but if you see a pair in this range you might want to consider... | |
| Need a good used tube pre $1500 or less i had the Audible Illusions Modulus 3a. My first venture into higher end pre-amps. i liked it alot. i have since moved up to a Conrad Johnson PV12 (i wanted the phono stage) and thought it was a big step up from the Modulus 3a. i'm now ready to mo... | |
| What should i upgrade next? thanks for the tip mark. i do love the sound of the Thiels and the CJ equipment. As for the speakers, they are a dream. Has taken me nearly 20 years to get here. started with a used pair of the Thiel 3.5s then moved up to the 3.6s (mainly because ... | |
| alternatives to spikes on wood floors? thanks to all so far. again, this is why i love this site. i'll consider your recommendations (the penny solution is definitely the most creative). As for whether "i should be using the spikes" i appreciate your take GS5556. I found that there was... | |
| Best Clapton and Davis CD? audire, the miles/coltrane set i have is a 4 disc set (the first disc plus the first 17minute cut on disc two are the coltrane/miles show. The rest of the set are the shows with Sonny Stitt (who joined Miles for a brief stint after Coltrane left).... | |
| Best Clapton and Davis CD? Hard to limit a Miles choice to one so I hope you don't mind a few recommendations. i think you've got to deal with both Miles' acoustic career as well as his initial electric work (until he "retired" in 75). I'm sure you'll get a lot more suggest... | |
| Pristine Jazz If you're feeling adventurous and have never heard John Zorn's Madada definitely check them out. They were by far my favorite acoustic jazz band of the 90s. An awesome Klezmer/Jazz quartet (sax, trumpet, bass and drums). Since their recording are ... | |
| Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings i've been listening to zappa since my older brother turned me onto Hot Rats in 1970 at the age of 9 (this also introduced me to Captain Beefheart who has also remained a favorite over the years). I've been a devout fan ever since, owning virtually... | |
| What should i upgrade next? thanks for the thoughtful responses. this is why i love this site. i've purchased my Thiels, CJ PV12, and the Cardas speaker cables and interconnects through audiogon and have never been disaappointed.First, don't get me wrong i'm pretty happy wit... |
