Any thoughts on a Audiogon covention?
We might have to break it into regional A'GoN conventions. I've managed to have listening sessions with a few of the Los Angeles members and have had correspondance with members all over the world.I like the CES idea. Is buying a hotel room at an ... 
Three days until Christmas
Merry Christmas to all!!And now I'd like to ask one question:If you could ask Santa for one piece audio gear, what would it be? Since he knows if you've been bad or good, what have you been on your best behavior for? What is that one piece of audi... 
It's a "space thing"...need help
Hey Craig, how are you doing? Still have the AP9s I see!The 1050 is a 6 channel receiver right? What is the sound character of the Outlaw? I own an ATI 1505 which I'm using in my HT setup. I know that Outlaw makes a sister amp to the 1505, so I wa... 
Subwoofer thoughts from a newbie...
Matchstikman, if you're referring to cheaper subs having "one note" bass, then you're on the right track. Subs like the RELs are known for their natural, musical tone while having the ability through much trial and error of integrating seemlessly ... 
HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound
The Pass Aleph 30 that Brunhilde speaks of was the replacement for the much revered Aleph 3 which was touted to have a tube like presentation. Both these amps can be found used in the $900-1300 range.

Speaker Polish? REVISITED
I've tried orange oil and didn't care for it. Very very oily and shiney initally, but it dries up quickly and unevenly then dulls out. Maybe it was just the brand I used.While it might not be as good for the wood I thought Pledge had a more natura... 
Need suggestions for small room speakers
Mr. Jla is the one that recommended I try ProAc 1SCs in my room and so far they are my favorite monitors. Slightly different and I feel a little better than the Tab 50 Sigs I also own. Both these ProAcs utilize rear ports so be wary of the rear wa... 
Best female vocalists on LP still available
I just received a Music Direct catalog and was very surprised to see so many current releases by female vocalists available on vinyl. Norah Jones, Jane Monheit, Jacintha, Patricia Barber, and many, many more. Makes me want to get into vinyl.
