| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM @pfmaudio Listen in your room, make notes and then discuss it with your dealer. You assume the alnicos and the signature speakers would sound better in your room which may not be the case depending on amp selection and room interaction. For i... | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM @pfmaudio Your concerns over the speakers is understandable, it happens all the time when we analyze potential outcomes rather than just listening. Room acoustics and technology can cause alot of heartburn….when, in fact, you are about to lea... | |
| About users with hidden agendas What makes them unfortunates? Everyone gets out of their purchases what they want...I rather appreciate buying preowned gear from them as well...its like new LOL! | |
| About users with hidden agendas People will self police when there is a “do not cross this line” policy in place. It forces a “when in doubt, dont do it” mentality. Worked in a bar in my younger college years with such a policy and they had a reputation for no BS. One fight i... | |
| About users with hidden agendas @jjss49 Tammy and Audiogon have an opportunity to reclaim the high ground…or not. If they do so, at least initially, the forums will be slower. They should stay the course though. Pick the weeds, things look sparse until the desired growth ha... | |
| About users with hidden agendas The real problem with aggressive and insulting posters, with trolls and “experts” issuing absolute pronouncements when they have a total of 20 posts and joined last month is that good folks who have posted and contributed kind and valuable advice ... | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 @lula In your example, lets say you sell two couches. You paid $1,200 for each. You sell couch one for $1,500 and six months later sell couch two for $800. You owe tax on the $300 gain. You get no benefit or offset on the $400 loss from couch... | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @mglik It is sad that there seems to be so much energy of expression devoted to negative societal statements. Indeed and well said. It is sad that there are material negative societal circumstances. | |
| Paypal Changes for 2022 @lula You do not get to offset losses against gains. Thats the current tax law. | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Its like whackamole….Ugh. Meanwhile back at the ranch, happy vaxxed/unvaxxed people are living happily. | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM @perkri Cool experiment, I am envious of your skills…never could master the art of elegant soldering. So, my oh so very inexpensive little SET amp will have to do some ongoing music duties before I make that change. If you like the sound... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Of course, there are several issues. Regarding Neil Young, he can’t censor…private citizens can’t officially censor any more than they can force adoption of new digital format….PONO anyone? Did anyone feel threatened by PONO? Rrespectfully... | |
| Burn in period @rifraf4u Cool. If you would like, feel free to PM me and we can arrange for you to send me some of your cables. I can place them on my cable cooker and then send them back to you for you to test. Nothing to lose right? | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @mahgister Whether someone is Vax or anti-vax, whether someone's had Covid or not...most people don't care. They certainly don't care to debate "alternative facts" when they hold the opposite or dissimilar views. I just don't share the "hair-... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal @mahgister Neil Young has the right to speak his mind as much as Joe Rogan or you or I. I'm unconcerned what either Neil or Joe have to say. |
