| How Much Have You Lost Thru' The Upgrade Process? I've lost some money for sure, but made even more friends in the process. | |
| GIRL NEWBIE NAD 3020 integrated amplifer will come in under $200, includes a pretty good phono stage to boot (but no remote control). B&W DM302 or 303 speakers (preference for the 302's) also under $200, leaves you a few bucks for speaker stands and some ... | |
| Zappa plays Zappa I've seen ZPZ three times, once at the Hummingbird in Toronto and twice in Montreal. I also saw FZ seven times, suffice to say I'm a huge fan.This ZPZ tour is really cool cuz they often cut away and FZ plays lead, our hero projected on a screen wh... | |
| Motorola transistors Motorola Semiconductor was split into two companies a few years back. Freescale Semiconductor designs/builds/markets the more complex semiconductors such as microprocessors, DSP's sensors, RF circuits etc. I work for Freescale.ON Semiconductor sel... | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? I own a Primare R20 phono stage and it's exceptional! I'm VERY impressed with the Primare stuff, checked out their CDP at the RMAF and had it on my "to buy" list but couldn't find one used and there's no local dealers for the stuff. I ended up buy... | |
| Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? I ship the same day I receive payment, my feedback here and on eBay is flawless. Your generalization is flawed at best, and reading between the lines it seems the U.S. customs agents are causing you grief, not Canadians. You're certainly entitled ... | |
| Best sound at RMAF Thought Id take some time to comment on the RMAF some, my impression of some of the systems seem to correlate (for the most part) with posts/blogs Ive read about on other sites. So.. in no particular order here we go:I wanted to spend some time ... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? How many musicians can honestly claim to ever approach Zappa's ability? By the same token the ridiculous guitar solos of the 80's "wee wee, weeeeee" went by the wayside and have been replaced with thoughtful and capable efforts by many fine guitar... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Frank Zappa was the most gifted musician in the last 100 years, maybe more. He wrote and played music that very very few people would ever attempt, let alone do a credible job. RIP Frank... | |
| Ethics: To what degree? I don't understand the debate to be honest with you. The unit is out of warranty, and it broke down. You pay for repairs outside of warranty, you do with a car, etc.. why should the manufacturer or distributor repair it for free? The warranty expi... | |
| Painting Grills for Built Ins If your grills are metal I would spray paint them with a paint intended to protect the grills from rusting. Buy a can of spray paint that closely matches your decor (e.g. Tremclad or the like) and apply several very light coats. Spray from at leas... | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" DH Labs is great stuff for the money, I've also had good luck with Goertz Micropurl. I'd buy used for sure but chances are you'll need to look elswhere, sub $100 items don't show up all that often here on the 'Gon due to the listing fee. Happy lis... | |
| Is HDCD dead? Shanling supports HDCD and I do prefer it to "normal" redbook or upsampled digital music. | |
| Advice on my audio chain Pbb, explain yourself in detail svp. I've met Victor & Geoff several times and own three pieces of BAT gear and I'm happy with the components, the service, and the people behind them. Enlighten us. | |
| Free Gallo Reference 3 tweak RW,Another tweak worth trying (set me back $1) is inserting resistors across the "Sub In" terminals. http://www.10audio.com/gallo_ref3-1.htmI put some in a few days ago, it does seem to add a little more bottom end to the speakers, so far I like w... |
