| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? I have had good experiences buying and selling on Audiogon, probably about 20 or so transactions.I have only had one purchase on US Audiomart, and that went well too.One thing I'd recommend is that, when someone communicates with you via the Audio... | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? Roon and tunein.com both allow you to stream radio stations, that's what I use. I used tunein.com every morning while I'm exercising, while in Western NC, I can enjoy classical from DC, jazz from Chicago, etc. | |
| Advice on wireless system We recently moved into a new house and I ditched the receiver/cd player/traditional pair of speakers (and the equipment cabinet) for a pair of KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. They connect to our wifi and show up as a "speaker" on my wife's iPad, when... | |
| Streaming vs CD transport direct comparison We moved into a new home three weeks ago and I just received a new CD rack (from Boltz) and last night I started unboxing my CD and SACD disks to populate the new rack.One thing I'd say that streaming offers is that, when an album is remastered, t... | |
| What In The World Is Going On? We just moved into a new home and covid has disrupted the refrigerator, freezer, towel rack, trash can & recycling bin supply chains. Up the street from our new home, the construction on a house has pretty much stopped, waiting for windows to... | |
| Where are the cheap home streamers? When I started down the "streaming path" I installed the Tidal streaming app on a Dell laptop I already owned, with my purchased music managed by iTunes. The resulting sound quality (output from the laptop's USB to my DAC) was "good".My next impr... | |
| PS Audio Power Plant 15........ I can’t imagine what’s going on. The P15 has brought great improvement to my system too, especially with the performance of the DACs I have connected to it. | |
| Is 1990's equipment vintage? @jrwaudio My first car was a 1971 BMW 1600-2. Back then Bimmers were so rare that, when you encountered another on the approaching side of the street, drivers would flash their headlamps to say "hello".I'm a "1950's model" and tell my wife the a... | |
| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better When I'm evaluating gear I like to spend some "quality time" listening to item A, then some "quality time" listening to item B.From 1978 thru 1982 I worked in high end audio shops in the DC area. It was common to be able to A/B speakers, but at o... | |
| Raise my subwoofers off the ground approximately 12”? I have a pair of JL Audio F113V2 subs and in my former home (in a room with terrible bass) I built some stands using 4 x 4's and sturdy metal hardware, and that reduced the boominess in that room.I'm about to move into a new home and if I don't ne... | |
| Seeking advice on high kHz annoyance in my system I have enjoyed a pair of Focal Sopra No2's since they first arrived in the U.S. I have heard them driven by a number of amplifiers, but not yours, and they seem to sound better with a more "mellow" amplifier driving them. | |
| How do I pay? I'd pass on this deal. | |
| Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting I don't blame people for trying to see if they can get a better price on used equipment, but some of the games people play are just a waste of time.I will not agree to any pricing via email, will insist the potential buyer make a formal offer thru... | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner Next week we settle on a new house. When we ordered the fridge, washer, dryer and freezer months ago the salesman let us know that, due to supply chain disruptions, freezers would not be available until 2021, and that he hoped the fridge we order... | |
| Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting In my experience, most of the low-ball offers come from people who message you thru Audiogon, not those who make a formal offer on the site.This reminds me when I had a McIntosh receiver for sale and a very nervous-sounding guy from Ohio went back... |
