| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? To answer the question more directly though, I think the slowdown could be contributed to the baby boomers entering into retirement and being a bit more judicious with their spending. I'm a divorced 40 year old with a teenager and a tween and ha... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I sold my items, Zesto Andros Phono and Sanders Sound ESL II Amp, pretty quickly. Within 4 or 5 days of my posting date. I did have them priced right and accepted offers that were somewhat less than I wanted. The fees on here are much higher th... | |
| Upgrade my power conditioner? Thanks Iak. I called PS Audio today and got my questions answered. They said leaving the P12 unit on all the time in idle, would draw something like 30W. If you put it into standby, it's more like <1W. They also said that the fans are whispe... | |
| Upgrade my power conditioner? Thanks Iak! I have called PS Audio before to discuss DACs and I was not impressed with the engineers lack of deep knowledge about the pieces and networking. Maybe I was not speaking to the correct person. | |
| Upgrade my power conditioner? Many thanks Hifiman5. Good feedback. You can probably clear something up for me about the PS units. My listening room goes unused for multiple days sometimes and my concern is running up a big electrical bill. Does the PS P5 churn full throttle wh... | |
| The big DAC decision I just received a PS Audio DirectStream Junior (DSj) and putting it through it's 250 hour burn in. I'm at 72 hours and it sounds amazing! I also like that it is completely upgradable, has the built in bridge, can unfold MQA and can use Roon! Th... | |
| Any harm to leaving my SACD player on all the time to toslink input? @melbguyone thanks for the response and suggestions. I do have a Shunyata Talos conditioner where I plug in all of my components. @hanki thanks for the tip on leaving a disc in the player. I always leave a disc in, so that might be a serious consi... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier I am vexed and perplexed by the fake outrage going on these days. Everything and anything can be construed as offensive. Folks from east Asia are in fact Oriental, because they are from the orient and not the occident. This is a geographical th... | |
| TT mats Herbie’s Way Excellent Turntable mat!!!http://herbiesaudiolab.net/ttmat.htmDon't spend $400 on a mat. Get the Herbie and put the rest towards a Stillpoints record weight. Now that takes out the micro-resonances! | |
| Done buying new vinyl Ortofon Cadenza Black to a Zesto Andros phono stage. | |
| Done buying new vinyl My new rule is to only get the special limited edition reissues like the Mobile Fidelity one-step ultradiscs and the stuff produced by Analogue Productions. I have had best of luck with their stuff like the Verve Jazz and BlueNote, Prestige serie... | |
| Switch preamp? If you enjoy the sound of the Krell (great product), then a recap is going to bring the life back! Getting over 25 years out of something is an awesome feat and shows the value you have received from such a product! Looking forward to your thoug... | |
| Switch preamp? I am going to second Scott_w's recommendation for a Sanders Sound Magtech amp. It's especially made for electrostatic speakers like the 13a's. I have been using one with my Martin Logan Montis speakers and the combination is a true dream! I hav... | |
| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? It’s hard to say what you will like in your system. If you have a local dealer, maybe they can let you borrow a few different amps. Else I suggest purchasing an amp from someone that has a generous trial period / return policy and will not hassle ... | |
| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Sutherland Insight is a great option. You might be able to find one used for around 1k. It doesn't run on D cell batteries, which is a nice convenience. Ron has a new KC Vibe phono out for $895, which might sound almost as great as the Insight.... |
