| $1000 to spend on an amp used Avguygeorge - His speakers are quite respectable, as is his preamp. Also, didnt you notice that he has a VPI turntable? (I wish I had one) You and I might spend the money a little differently, however IMHO a $1K amp would not be significantly out... | |
| Your "DREAM" piece Hmmmm. The current weak link in my system is my CD player, however I cannot think of an appropriate dream one-box player off of the top of my head. Therefore, I will have to go with plan B and say that I wouldnt mind replacing my Bryston with a... | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat Vandersteen 2-series speakers are typically a bargain on the used market. They would work well with your Rotel, however you may not appreciate their unconventional appearance. A used pair of Meadowlark Swift or Totem Sttaf loudspeakers could be ha... | |
| Best Song or AlbumTitles? "Don't Bogart that Joint" - remade by Little Feat, but originally recorded by Fraternity of Man (I think)."Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" - Loudon Wainright? | |
| More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs? I am a public-sector employee...feel free to draw your own conclusions. | |
| What is meant by the term "B stock"? Jea48 - Sorry this took so long...I checked the serial number on the tape deck and it appears to be original/unmolested. If I remember correctly, the box had a rather prominent B-stock label (or two) on it. | |
| Why even bother? What is my opinion?I don't understand why you would care - about my opinion or about my having a tuner.Nice troll! | |
| Any Spendor sp 1/2 owner or former here ? Jean I bought my Spendor 1/2Es used, so I am not qualified to comment on break-in. My speakers are around three years old and Ive had them for the last year and a half. While I listen to all kinds of music, I think the Spendors are fantastic sp... | |
| What is meant by the term "B stock"? Sid42 I believe that if you are selling an item that was originally B-stock, the fact should be disclosed. I have an old HK cassette deck that I purchased as a B-stock item (some 18 years ago) and, like you, I could not find a mark on it. If I w... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Artizen65 - Is that silicone or silicon?Properly sculpted silicone sometimes has a positive effect on my 'transformer'... | |
| Traditional looking speakers I'll suggest Spendors as well. When I started my speaker search I was *told* that only traditional looking speakers would be allowed in our living room. I ended up selecting a pair of Spendor SP 1/2s with Sound Anchors and I think their retro-look... | |
| Triumph Oooops.....I thought this thread would be about British sports cars and/or motorcycles - Triumphs, Mini Coopers, MGs, Austin Healys, Nortons, BSAs, and the like! | |
| Speakers For Rock If the WAF is a major consideration, then my suggestion may not go over well - however, I think you should seriously check out Vandersteens. In your price range you could get a new pair of Vandy 3A Signatures with Sound Anchors. The Vandersteens m... | |
| Dumb question..but just wondering ????? Prpixel - I am sorry if I offended you, and I certainly didn't mean to insult anybody's intelligence (although I can understand why you might have interpreted my post in that fashion). I corrected your statement for the benefit of Garebear, who ma... | |
| Dumb question..but just wondering ????? Prpixel is almost correct - cherry does darken over time - but it is photoreactive and therefore it is light, not age, which causes the color change.As stated above, if your speakers are veneered then it is unlikely that the veneer would contribut... |
