| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? The Rolling Stones??? I think that they should rename themselves "The Cash Cows"! Hey, "The Cash Cows" have done some great stuff, but Mick and the boys (geezers) have been irrelevant since the '80's. I forget the tour, but I had heard some concer... | |
| Power Cords for Musical Fidelity Nuvista M3 Integ. I really like the Custom Power Cord Top Gun. What is the power draw (watts) NOT the rated output of the amp? You may need a Top Gun + or a Top Gun Hifc. Happy Tunes! | |
| Not too early to consider CES Fatparrot will be landing in Vegas again this year! Sounds like a great idea for a get together, Tenniswino! Sorry, but you obviously had a misspelling in your post. The correct spelling is: P-A-T-S, Pats, Pats, Pats!!! Se ya! | |
| What to do when seller does not send item paid for Sean, funny you mention Texas! That problem package, did it come out of San Antonio? I have had nothing but problems with mail delivery to and from San Antonio! I understand that mail service there can be a nightmare! | |
| Toslink vs. RCA Has something to do with two factors: 1)the Toslink material (plastic) allows internal bouncing and reflections of the optical signal within the cable. 2) the interface at the cable ends and input/output terminals is really sloppy allowing for fur... | |
| Listening Levels What? Couldn't hear you!! I find that as my high end system evolved, my listening levels have gone DOWN. I'm listening in a smaller room, so a point is reached where the room's acoustic interaction limits the absolute volume level. This maximum le... | |
| Will I be a jaw dropping Wow for an upgraded CDP? TWL, don't forget about $400- for a good record cleaning machine along with the $600- for the T.T. Agreed that analog is great, but it's a totally different animal than CD. Let's not forget what a pain in the ass vinyl can be. There are negatives ... | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it Ejlif, I heard that there was a problem with the programming of the processor chip on some very early production units of the Mk. 2. (See their web site.) The problems that you are describing sounds exactly like the symptoms posted on their web pa... | |
| Vandersteen Mod 5 vs Coincident Tech Total Eclipse Trelja, one of the best posts that I have even read!!! I, too, am considering the Coincident Tech speakers sometime down the road. But for my needs, I am eyeballing the Super Eclipse. Do the Super's have the same acoustic signature as the Total's ... | |
| Warranty question When you say used, was it a trade in back to the dealer, or a dealer's demo unit? If it's a demo unit, these always come with a warranty since they are considered new as it has never been officially sold to a retail customer. As for a trade in, ma... | |
| Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think??? There are some questions that I will just NOT bother to respond to! The one that I absolutely detest concerns auctions that I have posted. "If your item doesn't sell, what will you take for it?" A very fair question, but ONLY AFTER THE AUCTION HAS... | |
| What's so bad about Sovtek 6922s? A few comments: I think that tubes require AT LEAST 72 hours to start sounding right (although I like to burn them in for a full week). Be careful that the "lack of bass" you are perceiving may well be due to the fact that the Amperex tubes may ha... | |
| Best bargain find ever ? A small independent store that I used to shop at for used CD's decided to increase their price to $8-$10 (this was a few years ago). I was a regular, and asked the owner if he could hold his price (I had been buying 5 to 10 CD's per week, and hold... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Right on, Angela100! When I'm selling something on this site, I want as much exposure of my equipment (uhm...that doesn't sound quite right!) as possible. If the person is not a member, he or she might be new to the site, new to the internet, new ... | |
| Anyone heard the ELP Laser Turntable? There was a review (or article) in Stereophile or T.A.S. that liked the unit but had two cautions: 1) There is no remote control...a totally stupid lack of convenience since this design would allow for the easy adaptation of a remote! 2) The unit ... |
