| A Tale Of 3 Esoteric Players No experience here but have come close to purchasing a few different Esoteric players on Audiogon before. I find your post interesting. Wouldn't it be great to have the ability to audition various pre-owned players in our systems, so we would know... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 326S preamp "for sale" Zoot45, After my original post I saw all the overly verbose text on the seller's ad. Now I get what you're saying! That would make any potential buyer run. | |
| Power suggestion? I'd love to try the CP-800, but I won't spend that much for a preamp unless I hit the lottery. | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? For me, a high end stereo is supposed to sound like music is being played in the room by real musicians, not by a stereo. | |
| Power suggestion? With my 28s I'm using a Bryston 14BSST and Classe CP35 preamp. I'm still trying out preamps. Whatever you do regarding an amp, make sure it produces plenty of current. | |
| How diverse is your musical taste? Over the years I find work (songs) in almost every genre that I like. Does not mean that I have music by the artist however. For example I simply love "I Want you to Want Me" by Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, but I have no music by them. It's their ... | |
| New Room Long wall or short wall? Early on in the hobby I read somewhere that having speakers along the long wall is supposed to be the better setup for improved low bass when compared to the short wall setup. Fact or fiction? | |
| Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud Rex2381, you will find the thread below interesting:MSS HIFI CLOSES DOORS! THREAD | |
| Power suggestion? Mbovaird the OMD 28's require lots of current. I'm not confident that a tube amp will deliver unless you plan to spend quite a bit for one. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Ok Elizabeth, Mitch2, and Jmcgrogan2, the more I think about it, 7 days is the right amount of time. The more I think about it from the seller's point of view your're right. I take back what I said Elizabeth. I got lucky with this seller. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Jmcgrogan2 we'll agree to disagree. I agree completley that your buyer contacting you after 6 weeks was ridiculous, but flexibility within reason is not a bad thing. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage You are a tough seller Elizabeth regarding issues after receiving a unit- So if there is any issue after 7 days beyond receipt of the product by the buyer, it's the buyer's problem and not the seller's? Seems a bit unreasonable to me. For me, due ... | |
| You think Audiogon has problems ... look at Ebay Sorry for your misfortune, anyone takes a risk buying there. Ebay has always been like the Wild Wild West, some legitimate some not. | |
| Idol fans weigh in With Philips winning, I will watch the auditions next year, because they're the most entertaining part of the show, but I won't spend time watching the competition. I didn't watch much anyway. Jessica was clearly the top discovery the judges made ... | |
| Has VTL gone out of business? Aball, it's always good to see old familiar members from the past posting here. Makes it feel more like the "old" Audiogon. As you probably know, VTL has had a non-customer friendly and non-responsive reputation. I don't think they are out of busi... |
