+2 for for listening to your dealer. Bob  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
@facten    I posted the thread because I was not sure if I was the only one having this problem.   
Beware of scam listings - users now have positive feedback.
@sbank , Good point. I know Audiogon wants to keep things on their site, but sometimes buyers/sellers need to contact each other directly. B  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
Aw Nuts, I was even logged in and the danged Capcha  request popped up. Bob  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
It seems the new security system has some bugs. Now, I get the 'checking browser' screen, but it moves onto the page I wanted. B  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
I am using Chrome browser, and the same PC to log in for years. I know earlier, I would get locked out if I was using a different computer, but this Capcha stuff is really tedious. Today, it seemed to check the browser and allowed me to log in wi... 
Which music service?
Qobuz is great. However, I switched to Roon and never looked back. B  
Just curious if any of you are using a device like this?
Save your money and just play some music. Some of these things are just toys for the gullible. Bob  
bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf
Vandersteen VLR's are made to be place in a bookshelf. The non-CT version would be my choice for your friend. I own this model and use it in my office and can attest to it's performance. Add a subwoofer and you'll have a very capable system. PM ... 
Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito
@4krowme , +1 Though I am using digital streaming, I will say that if you are advocating/offering analog pressings, then you should be upfront about where your albums are being made-especially if the cost more than two decimal places. Boy, am I ... 
Are Expensive Balanced Interconnects Necessary?
@mglik -+1 If the equipment supports the Balanced standard, then cables should have minimal effect on sound reproduction. Ralph Karsten (atmasphere), would be a good person to PM on this. Bob  
Vandersteen WX-4 crossover
I suggest posting a Wanted ad on US audio Mart. As well as checking Hifi Shark. And, why not email or phone Vandersteen? I bet there might be a workaround. Bob  
Audioquest William Tell Zero + Bass vs ThunderBird Zero
PM 'ctsooner', I believe he has. Bob  
Anyone heard new Belles Dual Mono Integrated vs Basic Aria or Aria Signature?
+2 on John Rutan. He knows his stuff as well as Belles. If anyone knows it is he. But,  My first thought is that owing the Signature Monoblocks and Preamp would be the 'best' sounding. The integrated Dual Mono coming in a close second. Bob  
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
I will second the Vandersteens. The VLR's are made for bookshelf positioning and if you add a Sub 3 or two, you will own a very capable system- especially if they are driven by the Mac's. Don't let the diminutive size fool you, these little guys ...
