| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Leafs; your Agon membership could be in jeopardy if you don't at least attempt an up-grade in the next two weeks. Have you gotten the "sweats" yet? | |
| Maximum USPS Money Order is 700. Vayasteve; As a credit union member, I get free "corporate checks" which are the same as cashier's checks. But your point is well taken. If someone counterfeits a USPS M.O. it's immediately a federal offence. | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig VS B W Nautilus 804 I've not heard the BW 804s, but have lived with the Vand. 3Asigs for a year now and can very highly recommend them. I agree with Tap3sap's comments on the Vandys. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Stereophile Actually, I'm getting the mag 2-3 weeks earlier than I did a couple years ago. | |
| Maximum USPS Money Order is 700. Negative votes or not I appreciate the above posts. And Leafs, in this case I especially appreciate your rather direct response to my question.The cost of Money Orders doesn't bother me, and I suppose I shouldn't bitch about occasionally making ou... | |
| Smear campaign? Trelja touched on people posting under anonymous email names for whatever reason. I think only registered Audiogon members should be able to start threads and make posts. Afterall, joining is free and membership has important benefits-- at least t... | |
| A little bit of Truth Sdcampbell; I enjoyed your above posts. Thanks. Craig | |
| Bass traps/room treatments I agree with Stevem's post above on ASC products. I use both their tube traps and panels with excellent results-- expensive, but worth it. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Power recommendation for Vany2ce-sigs I agree with those above who recommend McCormack amps-- any of them, as they certainly seem to have a special synergy with Vandersteen speakers. For pre-amps, I like Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or 2 with that combination. Good Hunting. Craig. | |
| Who R U? David; happy to see that your thread "has legs"-- hope it keeps going. I posted very early (2nd) in this thread, but nothing about my "system".I use Levinson M37 transport and M360S DAC connected with Cardas AES/EBU dig. cable. This front end conn... | |
| Best Log in name?? Dds_hifi; Thanks to you, Trelja, and others for the compliment(s) re my user name. My last name is Garland and in my younger days, ie HS and college, I was sometimes called Gar or Garfish as a nickname.In an earlier thread on user names I posted t... | |
| Bad sounding CD s I too agree with Vermonter. Another good example of CDs being significantly improved by re-mastering is the original Creedence Clearwater eight CDs. The new JVC 20bit K2 recordings are much better, and are now non-fatiguing but still dynamic. Craig | |
| How many dedicated lines? Just for the record: (1) My sub-main box is also grounded back to the main. (2) What Liguy calls an isolated ground is not isolated in my system, it is a secondary ground and is totally acceptable to Oregon electrical code.Also, just for the hecku... | |
| What songs make you cry? Estmad; have you ever heard "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack-- beautiful, sad, but also sensuous (sensual?). "Walkin' the Backstreets" by Koko Taylor. Also, Cowboy Junkies "Powder Finger".Then there are a bunch of country/wes... | |
| How many dedicated lines? Sean and Liguy; Thanks for the input re grounding. I've got a call into the electrical company that installed my system to clarify this grounding issue. Craig. |
