| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? Well Joey, even tho you seem a little off, your earlier point regarding overpricing is bang on, IMO.My Real Estate buddy goes through this on almost every sale. And the property will always sell for what it is worth. What someone is willing to pay... | |

| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? mickeyb said, "I can also say that if you have no feedback people will not sell to you.....EVER! As some snobbish seller so rudely told me after enquiring about his item. So now I’ll just buy from us audio Mart and use you guys for good informatio... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? @echolane: Definitely make sure your gear is isolated from vibration, but also, IMO, a tube preamp would most likely solve your brightness issues, while also enlarging the sound-stage and adding a realistic timbre and overall musicality to the so... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I highly recommend Blue Jeans cables (BJC) from Seattle. They're a great cable to use while you figure out how much you really want to invest in cabling. Some people spend many thousands on them.BJCs are ultra-low capacitance. I've yet to find a ... | |

| Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s? One of the best, sound for cost, values out there (IMO, but also many others), is the Grahasm Slee Reflex M.With the proper outboard power supply (PSU1), it would probably cost you about 7 or 8 hundred used. But you could find one that has just th... | |
| CDs Vs LPs As amazed as I am at how good CDs can sound, I think that vinyl sounds better the majority of the time with a good cart and a good phono stage.Regarding the pops and clicks; with my collection, which has always been well cared for and played on go... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Tho CDs are my go-to, I'll always have to hang onto all my vinyl stuff.I bought most of the LPs 45 years ago when I was in my teens. I had a McIntosh system, even then, with an ADC cart to track them; so they're all still in great shape.I only hav... | |
| CDs Vs LPs I find that thru ease of use i play a lot more CDs than LPs. I finally got my TT isolated well so I don't have feedback issues anymore. (Just one of the many universal TT issues).The two mediums certainly sound a little different, but there's only... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? A few people have suggested ESLs, and I'm pretty sure they'd fit the bill. I had ESL's with a McIntosh set-up, about 40 years ago, and they were very good at low volumes. Mind you, the MX-113 tube pre had bass and treble controls, so that helped. ... | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? chayro: Love your first sentence ...OP: I don't know if you're considering vintage speakers as well, to solve your low-level, listening issue, but I have a pair of Kef R107's, and they produce a wonderful sound-stage no matter where you are in the... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? Steve N (and anyone else with streaming experience): Thanks for the info, Steve, I've been trying to decide whether to expand my CD collection (which can be very affordable right now), or begin streaming, where there is unlimited music available.... | |
| Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer? puffbojie: I have not been able to get streamed hi-res files to sound anywhere near as good as my CDs and LPs. I really wish that wasn't the case. I have a great MF dac, and a good asynchronous MF V-link to get the files to the dac from my comput... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense @ronres & mdosmar: 100% agree. In my particular (or peculiar?) experiences and listening goals, I could basically invert the levels of importance that the OP has suggested, no ... decreed. Cartridges, tonearm, phono stage, dac etc., provided m... |
