| Whats the deal with CD players? Why not try an A/B comparison at a good high-end dealer.If you can't hear any differences through reference level equipment, then you have your answer. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, Thanks. This has been really helpful. I have already sent several inquiries about the supratek, and this feedback adds a great deal to a growing strong case for purchase. At the price, how can one afford NOT to? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite, Can you comment on the Chardonnay vs. top of the line CJ and ARC tubes? | |
| My first and last DIY project Would you be willing to share how many $$ you investedJust looking for an order of magnitude in $K. | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? Suggestion:How about separating the wanted ads onto their own bulletin board, WITHOUT usernames/ID's posted. Then allow responses to wanted ads to be posted on the same bulletin board using the traditional rules, so that buyer responds to seller i... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Your role and responsibilities as Audiogon advisor has undoubtedly shifted your own paradigm; especially as it relates to being visibly dispute-conscious. This certainly does not bother me.As with other members, I tend to ignore things like this i... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Keymetric, we agree with you. We own the Nautilus 805'swith REL stadium III for the bottom end. We love whatwe hear. The speakers disappear. The sound stage ishuge. We get every bit of detail which the amplifieris capable of delivering. | |
| What do you do when the kids come along? I understand that babies learn their parent's voiceswhile still in the womb. If you are playing music now, chances are the baby will take to it like mother'smilk. | |
| Trouble Auditioning Hi-fi Components? It is the relationship with a dealer that counts.Even if you do get the audition, you are not likelyto be happy with the relationship. Have you ever considered treating yourself to an audioweekend. Spend $99 on a round trip ticket to a hubcity and... | |
| Sellers Who "Didn't Know" or the Convenient Excuse I have been waiting for a chance to tell this story. Recently I responded to an ad on Audiogon for a center channel speaker. Seller said speaker is in mint condition. We agreed upon a price. Then seller writes email to confirm when my bank check w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century After visiting the web-site, it looks as though this preamp is really optimized for vinyl playback. Linestage receives mostly "afterthought" remarks. Slowhand, what digital source do you use? | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? I would keep the soul (music collection) and let him have the body. | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had I think there is another dimension to this argument.I have found that, within most equipment lines, there is a price point optimum - above it, the differences are smaller, below it the magic is compromised. I can always tell when I get there durin... | |
| CJ 16ls vs Cj17ls vs Pass Labs X1 I have listened to the full CJ lineup up through the 16LS.The answer to your question depends upon how much difference you are willing to pay for. The 17LS is the minimum I felt able to settle for in the CJ line. Once I heard it, I was only aware ... |
