| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Those radios are terrific. I have collected and restored 1950s jukeboxes. I had nine at one point, down to my three favorites now. I'd like to show photos but I don't know how. | |
| Adding a sub to modest system Great advice, thanks | |
| Bose 901 I purchased the 901s in 1976. They were my first good speakers. I really liked them but the equalizer was confusing and I felt like I had to play them very loud to get all the music I wanted. They did look spiffy though. | |
| Ebay sellers switching tubes That sort of thing happens often. I sold an antique jukebox on eBay and when the buyer received it, it had a much cheaper tone arm cartridge on it and who knows what they may have taken from the inside. Good photos can sometimes discourage folks ... | |
| Speakers or room I have a similar situation. I've done the best I can without compromising my room appearance too much but I know it's not ideal. Much of my listening is background so I'm ok. Jim Smith's book, "Get Better Sound" will help you a lot. Most of ... | |
| Need advice I'm fairly new to this hobby also but please allow me to pass on some advice I received from . a serious audiophile and good friend. He told me that he has spent probably $50,000.00 over the years, buying, selling, trading, upgrading, etc. Of c... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) When I first read your post I thought, yea good idea. But after reading some of the other posts, I think you might want to wait a while or at least slow it down. The last thing you want to do now is give up something that you spent so much time pe... | |
| Who remembers audio from the time when ... My first system in high school was a Capehart turntable attached on top of the receiver and I was so excited. Then in the military in Southeast Asia I got serious with a Kenwood receiver (quad) , Sansui TT , Teac Reel 2 Reel, Teac cassette, and ... | |
| Replacing caps & resistors on Vandersteens I was referring to the location of the caps and resistors on the speakers. When I took out the speakers before I did not see them. Could they be at the bottom? Thanks. Doug | |
| buyer question I have over 900 transactions on eBay with 100% perfect feedback. I've been buying and selling on line for many years. I totally agree with the advice you received here. | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? It's "my friend and I". I have a fairly good dealership near my home in the Phila suburbs. Luckily I found the right salesman and he helped me. I'm happy with my purchases. I think the bad experience the writer had is not that rare today. Actua... | |
| Looking for a local Audiophile Show Yes, Thanks | |
| Power Conditioner recommendations? That's a smart question. The one I have doesn't seem to do much in the way of improving the sound. Based on advice I received here, I just ordered a Furman PST-8. Thanks. Doug | |
| Power Conditioner recommendations? Thanks all, I really appreciate the help. Doug | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? For now, I am happy with my system. I merely have a Yamaha N803 receiver, Yamaha CD player, my old Sansui SR525 turntable, Vandersteen speakers and I stream Spotify. I would like to upgrade and have been tempted at the stereo shops but my knowled... |
