| Techniques for isolating and comparing a component upgrade or change HOW are you seeing member's virtual systems? I click on member's name, no link appears like it used to. | |
| What the ship just happened? Like fraud, I see more package damage. When I buy something, I make it clear to the seller that both insurance and double boxing is required. I will be insisting on 'signature required' from now on. I am willing to pay some additional $ if the bu... | |
| Moving Magnet & Moving Coil Cartridges Question... RIAA Equalization of a phono cartridge’s signal (boost bass/cut highs) must occur somewhere, and a phono cartridge’s signal strength must also get boosted UP to Line Level strength, then thru a volume control then to the amp. Unless specifically ... | |
| Citibank Observing More Fraud They are pretty good. My neighbor called me once while he was at work. Asked if I was home because FedEx had delivered his package to my house. He got a 'delivered' message, checked his camera's history online, the view was wide enough that he sa... | |
| Citibank Observing More Fraud I think I am going to start requesting 'Signature Required' from sellers to me and for things I ship. Too much porch theft, even if it doesn't happen in your neighborhood, how do you prove it. | |
| Amp Internal Wire The first time you take a vintage piece apart, you may be shocked at the simple quality and small diameter wires you find. Keep in mind, this is within the pieces that produced results that made the reputations of these great companies. You ment... | |

| Coax or RCA question? Good choice, I have Onkyo CDC 3.4 mark II, and like it's sound very much, however it does not play SACD's, so I found another for my main system and use the Onkyo in another system. From my listening/comparing to 8 other players, I would start wi... | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? Someone recently said CD’s were making a comeback. What a funny thought. Certainly my intention and final result after my search, all my existing and ’new to me’ cd’s have come alive like never before. My first find about what they are doing: "I... | |

| Speaker Cable Connector Accepting 2 Pairs of Cable Whatever options you discover, consider future flexibility. I used to compare tube mono blocks to a tube receiver to a big SS amp. To easily connect/reconnect 3 different sets of color coded speaker cables I made myself a 'pigtail', 6 lf length ... | |
| Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me I've already stated my empathy to OP, a damn shame PayPal failed him. Reverb helped me on one disaster; PayPal saved me on Fraud. Thank goodness I did not 'send money'. 1. via reverb, a McIntosh MC2002 was not packed properly, (single box, only ... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? I took these past few 'stay at home' years to upgrade, bit by bit, until main/office/garage-shop systems were all upgraded. Began with wanting a long tonearm. Led to a TT with 3 tonearms, proper mono listening for the first time, and essentially ... | |
| Beginner home theater setup questions... I know the feeling. First I received a depressingly fat envelope with two coupon books, 1 with 60 coupons for 5 years and another with 36, 8 years total. So another big congrats from me. My take: you will make changes, you will learn, technology... |
