| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon 8. By all means, misspell the name and model of your item. Write "Theil CSS2.4". After all, you don't want people to find your item via a search of the manufacturer's name. Plus it makes you look really familiar with your item, and gives your buye... | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight Ozzy -I ordered the 18Gbps version, 3ft Ultra Slim, and just hooked it up. Well, it's certainly eye-popping - really bright and saturated colours. Maybe a little too much fine detail - I may have to recalibrate the Darbee setting on my Oppo 103D. ... | |
| Wireworld Silver Starlight Ozzy - I just ordered the 3ft Ultra Slim from Monoprice to try on my Oppo 103D - Samsung Plasma. I'm curious to see if it's better than the PS Audio I2S-12 solid silver HDMI cable. It gave better video than the WireWorld Silver Starlight 5-2.Simao... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Dr Hoover- I filled the Path stands half full of dessicated Silica sand, and it certainly improved the sound. I then went ahead and filled it some more to a total of 2/3. Seemed to get better and certainly was not worse, so I decided to leave it l... | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon I actually thought the OP was concerned about selling even to someone who used the Buy It Now button. For instance, new users may not understand that it commits them to the sale. I had a case where someone used BIN and then never got in touch at a... | |
| MULTI-CH SACD'S on 2CH SOUND STRANGE? It boggles the mind that anyone who's invested in an EMM Labs or Esoteric CD/SACD player doesn't know how Hybrid SACDs work. Obviously, you're playing the MCH layer downmixed to 2-channel. As Kr4 points out, you need to make sure (1) your SACD has... | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? I have directly compared the SHM-CD and SHM-SACD versions of Dire Straits "Making Movies" on my Esoteric X-05. The CD version is very dynamic and, on first hearing, exciting and impressive. However, the SACD version sounds like real music to me: v... | |
| Reason for selling is... I'm the OP, and I certainly didn't mean to start a flame. I fully expected, making what I thought was an obvious point, that buyers would nod and move on, and that sellers would at least pause and consider my point. (I also fully expected posts fr... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra and Wilson Sophia II Marc777, I have the Esoteric X-05 SACD player. Could you please describe how you used the Stillpoints to support you Esoteric player? Thanks. | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Podeschi, do you have the Ultras pointing up or down? Are they directly in contact with the component or shelf, or are you screwing them into risers? I've done a little experimenting, and I find they work best pointing down, and screwed into the c... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? I had my Krell SACD player on top of a Stillpoints component stand, with the Delrin footers that come with the stand.I replaced the top footers with the Ultra ALs and immediately and undeniably heard a big difference, along the lines described by ... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Duane, who is one of Dale's top sales reps, says in his ad for the Summits that "These speakers double in sound quality if paired with Stillpoints". Can you explain what you mean by trying something other than granite and Stillpoints? What exactly... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker I can attest that Dale's newest interconnect line is magnificent. I have the mid-level Intuitive Design Mosaic Delta and it shamed the Audioquest Sky and Audience Au24 I compared it with. I had the top-of-the-line Mosaic Nu for a brief time, and i... | |
| Townshend Seismic Sink power supply I have a 2HD. It came with the Wisdom AC/DC adaptor. Input: AC 117V 60Hz; Output: DC 12V 100mA. | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Thanks for the advice, guys. I have the stands filled half-way with silica sand, and the sound certainly tightened up, and the silences became deeper, blacker, more palpable. Also the upper transients (triangle, celesta) are pristine and delicate.... |
