| Goodbye Pete Seeger A truly unique talent and an absolute giant of a man. I was privileged to see him perform in person several times -- both alone and with The Weavers -- and those occasions remain some of the highlights of my musical experiences. | |
| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? I certainly agree with the comments on Crown gear. And in the highly unlikely event something does go wrong, you are going to be supported by a longstanding and credible company that takes customer service seriously. Much the same can be said abou... | |
| budget digital interconnect BLUEJEANSCABLE.COM has some excellent reasonably priced products that are made-to-order; and service is terrific. I ordered a digital cable this morning and it was shipped by noon the same day via Priority Mail. | |
| Where do you buy good CD recordings? I am sensitive to the fact that some people on this site look down their noses at eBay, but I have purchased more than 1000 CDs from eBay over the past 10 years and have experienced only one problem; and even then my money was refunded. Moreover, ... | |
| New FedEx Ground and USPS Arrangement This of course raises another more important question. In the event that the gear is damaged upon arrival, who accepts responsibility for the claim: FedEx or USPS? I have been saddled with this system on some non-audio shipments and it is a royal ... | |
| RIP J Gordon Holt For many of us, JGH represented our introduction to the high-end. He truly understood all of the nuances in the reproduction of sound and in developing a synergistic system. Many of his writings were brilliant, straight-forward essays that enhance... | |
| Paypal question-pin number According to PayPal (and eBay for that matter), there is an easy way for you to initially establish the potential legitimacy of such correspondence. If the e-mail is addressed to you personally (i.e. Dear John Smith or Dear David Jones), it probab... | |
| "will ship at buyer's risk and expense" I have always assumed, and I believe that it is or should be a fundamental part of the rules of transaction for Audiogon, that the seller is totally responsible for the safe arrival of the shipment. That includes secure packing including double-bo... | |
| The black hole of component repair? To avoid all of the pain and aggravation noted above, there is always -- as noted by "racarlson" -- Bryston. A no-questions unconditional warranty that lasts forever; exceptional reliability; customer service and support that is beyond belief; and... | |
| What are the Best FM tuners? For those of you not familiar with Don Scott, he is a legendary FM Tuner authority, specialist and modifier; and moreover is honest and decent to a fault. I feel exceptionally privileged to have purchased a NEC T-710 from him that he further modif... | |
| FM Tuner Repairs???? I'll second the Don Scott nomination. Talented, honest to a fault, caring, helpful and a real gentleman. I speak from very recent personal experience. And as a bonus, his mods are deservedly so highly regarded and respected that, over the long run... | |
| No Sellers willing to do COD anymore??? All transactions on this site involve a significant degree of mutual trust between the buyer and seller, whether that be prepaying or COD. I have participated -- as both a buyer and a seller -- in a significant number of deals and have not had a p... | |
| What the puck is up with my Jupiter? The USA importer/distributor is:LAUERMAN AUDIO IMPORTS103 WEST FIFTH AVENUEKNOXVILLE, TN 37769865-521-6464 | |
| Bryston Powerpac? I agree with all of the comments from Sdcampbell above. I am also a Bryston enthusiast, and have owned the PowerPac 120 amplifiers in the past. They sound wonderful; were sufficiently light that they were easy to carry and place; can be situated r... | |
| What's up with the Rega Planet 2000? In response to several of the above comments. The Rega Jupiter is now available, and is often priced very competitively (both new and used) versus the Planet 2000. As for the above reference to the ELAD preamp, it is an exceptionally fine unit; an... |
