| When suggesting audio components for friends and relatives... millercarbon hosted a "party" TWO months ago, and doctors attended...I was more in awe of charging friends a fee for advice on what to buy for $1200. "Rubber bands from cilantro bunches are much much better than those from curly parsley. Look for ... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store "800 of them in 2 weeks huh?"That would be about one sold every 13 minutes for 12 hours a day for two weeks straight. A few minutes here or there. An achievement, indeed. One must wonder how many people were hired to do all the paperwork. | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store "we sold 800 of them in 2 weeks."You could still do it. Just not with $17 000 amplifiers. Maybe with iPhones. Amplifiers could be 2 in 80 weeks. | |

| High Performance Audio - The End? "Time and time again piano crops up when evaluating the authenticity of any playback system, as does listening to live unamplified music."In my case yesterday, playback system helped me evaluate the piano. It reminded me that it is time to tune it... | |

| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About "1. Why do some folks with usually higher end systems use those cable lifters to keep the cable elevated?"What else is left for them to do?2. I bought a bunch of those gold plated caps to cover all the unused RCA jacks on the back of my AVR. I bel... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Once speakers become concrete barriers, or vice versa, the price will go up. If for no other reason then because of the delivery charge. | |
| High Performance Audio - The End? deep_333,You, kind of, asked, I answered.I paid more than $80 for those speakers and did not flush them down anything. They went high up.I wish you best luck in picking your speakers next time. May I suggest Debrox?Still fantasizing about my speak... | |
| Help with TT ideas for my first TT How did you skip Technics? Their new offerings would be an easy pick. Virtually no set-up, too.Aside from them, roberjerman's Pioneer PLX 1000 recommendation is a good one. Do not be discouraged by the idea of "DJ" etc. That turntable works well e... | |
| $5k or less speakers (used or new)? Over time, I got a feeling that it is hard to pick bad speaker for $5000. It comes down to your preference and desired sound. | |
