| Speakers with fullness and weight? I also like the sound of Vienna Acoustic speakers. I owned a pair of their Beethoven's and then upgraded to the Strauss. I moved on to a pair of Verity Audio Parsifal Encore's after that, which have the purest midrange of any speaker I've ever hea... | |
| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? I wouldn't pay to have the mod performed, but I have heard modded equipment sound better than much more expensive gear. Not all the time, mind you, but it does happen. I bought a Marantz SA-11S1 that had a $3200 mod by pcX done on it about 7 years... | |
| one last show Simon and Garfunkel, at my current age and time. If I was 20-30 years younger, I know the answer would be different, probably Led Zepplin or Lynaryd Skynayd. LOL!! | |
| Bit of McIntosh / Thorens pricing help... Keep in mind that the site Rodman99999 listed is a dealer site. Just as with automobiles, dealer prices are always higher than private sales prices. I have often looked at that site, but I have never bought anything from them because their prices ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? 06-26-13: Johnsonwu$14950 a meter. Wonder how many Chinese knock off artists are reading this. Tara Labs is not immune to fraudulent cables. They have the same problem with fake cables on the market as Cardas, Audioquest, XLO, MIT and many of the ... | |
| Bit of McIntosh / Thorens pricing help... You could look up values on Orion Bluebook, or try checking EBay's completed listings. | |
| New Preamp Suggestions You can find a good used VAC or Cary full function preamp for $2-4K. I have owned both, their sound is a bit different, but both are very good. The VAC is more detailed and refined, while the Cary is sweeter sounding. Currently I am running a full... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? IMHO, that level of customer service is unacceptable. Personally, I would already have purchased this amps replacement. I'd also keep pressure on the manufacturer to repair it, but I would sell the amp immediately upon it's return to me. I would m... | |
| Cables more hype than value? 06-24-13: Noromance$5000 for 6 feet of power cable?! My entire rig cost that! I have seen audio rigs that cost more than my home! I have seen watches that cost more than my car! We live in an age of excess. | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon Mechans, this time of year is a buyer's market!! There are good deals to be had if you find a seller who HAS to move something. A seller can still sell this time of year, but due to lower traffic and lower interest level, the sale price is usually... | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon @Br3098, you do make some valid points, but you are also overlooking some other options. When you say: The goal is to sell the gear, is it not?You are correct in most cases. However, some are simply testing the market, and may or may not sell depe... | |
| warm sounding cartridge for rega arm If you will consider a MI, try a Grado Reference Platinum1 Wood Body. | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon Marty, I think that is what the "Buy it Now" button is for. There is no offer, no negotiation, the person's only choice is to buy it now as stated in the ad. So when you place the ad, make "Buy it Now" the only option.LOL!! You should know the Aud... | |
| How to remove harshness from my digital gear 06-21-13: CzbbclWhile I don't necessarily agree with Steve N concerning the elimination of an active pre-amp. I do agree with his analysis concerning eliminating the problem and not trying to mask it with more boxes or cables.I agree with you Chuc... |
