| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Last song on the Son Volt "Trace" Album. I believe it is called, "Mystify Me". | |
| Solid state preamp for 1500 used Hi Mark, An obvious recommendation for your system would be to go with a BAT solid state preamp. The VK20 would be a little less than $1500 used and the VK40 would be in the 2-2.5 range depending on options such as batpack and remote. If you would... | |
| ryan adams "demolition" I just saw him a few weeks ago at the Beacon Theatre in New York and he is a talented man. He did not interact well with the audience. His arrogance gets in the way of his natural ablity.Demolition is by far his weakest release. His best, in my op... | |
| Cary CD 306/200; what else? I agree with all of the suggestions listed above. They are all excellent CD players. It is a matter of personal choice. I used to have a Cary 303/200 and I thought that it was very easy to listen to. I wound up purchasing a new Musical Fidelity A3... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? Hello my name is Drew and I am an Audiogonaholic. It seems that I am not alone. I have been checking in less because I found a new obsession of purchasing MSFL CD's on Ebay. That is because my obsession with purchasing new, or as new, shoes on Eba... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 I agree with the many who have already stated the Vandersteen is a great choice. I am of the opinion that it is the best value in a full range speaker. It is a steal at its price point. The Magnepan 1.6QR is a great speaker as well, but it present... | |

| Calling All Phish Fans Hello,I agree with everything that Jon has already said about Phish. Their first album, a double album called Junta, is the most natural sounding of all of the Phish albums. When I first saw them 10 years ago they used to sell it at their concerts... | |

| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables This is a great discussion about a subject that I believe continues to hurt the High End Audio Industry, that of its participants looking down on its marketing successes. It is not limited to Monster Cable. Look at all of the Krell and Mark Levins... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon I consider Audiogon to be the ultimate website for those of us unfortunate enough to choose high end audio as our hobby/lifestyle. It is a blessing. Do you remember when you had to advertise your components in the back of Stereophile? All the wack... | |
| Plinius 8200P or Bryston 3B-SST for Maggie 1.6 QRs When I had Maggie 1.6's, my wife made me sell them or they may very well be in my current system, I had them mated to a Classe CA-150 amplifier. It was a nice combination. It is my understanding that the CAP 150/151 is very similar in power and ab... | |
| Is Audiogon worth it? There is no doubt in my mind that Audiogon is best Internet site for audio transactions. I would go so far to say that Audiogon is the best commerce based Internet site that exists. After extensive research I have come to the conclusion that this ... | |
| Speaker recs. Please read all and reply. b&W, Vand It sounds like you are well on your way to making a quality speaker choice. The Vandersteen 2CE Signature is an excellent speaker as are the B&W's that you have mentioned. The Magnepans are wonderful, but may require more power to work well. A... | |
