| Neutral Dac? The Auralic Vega is remarkably flexible and affordable. You can set it up a number of different ways, but it always comes off quite transparent. It really is a fantastic piece of gear. | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? As I was reading some of the responses, the sob story 'buyer' comes to mind. The 'hey, I'd like to buy it, but Hurricane Sandy took my house out to sea, we're living in a shelter and my kid was just diagnosed with rickets...would you take $250'? | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? You're not dealing with sales professionals, for the most part. Most of the time they're inexperienced in dealing with 'customers' and way too emotional about what they think the value of their special DAC or turntable is. If I got insulted every ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Wow, the OP hit a response grand slam with this one. I can't imagine why he was so taken with this odd little 'editorial', but, it brings to mind a point that many of us have thought about at one time or another. From my experience, I can’t argue... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps Seller’s response- absolutely appropriate. If you’re in high-end and you’re worried about nickel and dime stock power cables, probably having some idea that people don’t really use them and you still go ahead and embarrass yourself by btchng abou... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Elvis Golden Records Volume 1 thru 4. Each one is a superb standalone album and each one interestingly distinct from the others. | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... I saw this and I immediately thought the answer was 'use it'. | |
| Gamut Lobster Chair Yeah, beautiful chair but, she looks like a chronic backache waiting to happen. | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. I've been a pretty successful sales rep throughout a couple of careers- and I like commission. Wouldn't work for any other kind of pay. The worst thing to me? A schmk who knows the word 'commission' wants to talk to me about my money. Do you have ... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? We had an ’18 Nissan Pathfinder a couple years ago with a premium Bose system in it. It never sounded particularly good if you were listening to the radio or CD. Volume wise you really couldn’t get satisfactory punch or crank on, but on a long roa... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? Leer at women much too young and good looking for them while remaining passively dissatisfied with the disappointing melange of muddy frequencies served up daily by their car audio system.I have a tragically mediocre UConnect/Beats Premium stereo ... | |

| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. I don't think the OP is 'dreaming' at all. Back in the '80s and '90s, I made some magnificent sounding High Bias/UDXL2 cassettes that were way more clean, punchy and dynamic than anything I would have had to put the time, expense and effort into g... | |
| Aged components / service!? I don’t understand all this hard and fast ’if it’s over 10 years old don’t buy it’ nonsense. Same for the people who are so completely sure that their new equipment, by virtue of its new engineering, is light years ahead of, let’s say for sake of ... | |
| eBay secretly over charged sellers eBay, as mentioned by one of the other posters, is the biggest game in town with the most exposure for your item. That's what you pay for when you go there, otherwise start your own auction website and pay what you want. Buenos suerte.In reality, ... |
