BAT vk-p3 phono install WOW! I wish my income was going up at that rate. A couple of years ago that VK-P3 card was $500. Maybe you could place a wanted ad out there. I'm sure there are BAT preamp or integrated amp users out there who may have the VK-P3 and are not using ... | |
Slow speaker cables? 12-12-12: B_limoI'm also thinking that, just like some people can break down all the qualities of a particular wine (not me by the way), others are better at picking up on all of these nuances of audio qualities. I'm not much of a wine connoisseur... | |
Slow speaker cables? As Almarg and Jcharvet have alluded to, I judge a cables speed, fast or slow, depending on how it attacks a note and releases it (decay). Attack and decay are the primary contributers to the timbre of a musical instrument. Attack is how clear is t... | |
the viability of hi end companies Have you noticed how many of these companies have come out with a new top of the line product in the last 5-7 years that is at least twice the price of their previous top of the line product? Practically every single one of them.These companies ar... | |
Made in America MrT, mis-direction is not a new marketing trick. I do my due diligence when purchasing, that does not mean that I've never been lied to. Hell, lying is as American as apple pie!! Life happens, what you gonna do? | |
Made in America I knew that Rja, I bought a Toyota Avalon that was built in Kentucky. | |
Preamp recommendations requested There is currently a nice VAC Phi Alpha preamp for sale on Audiogon, or possibly one of the Doshi's. That Doshi Custom model looks awesome, I bet it sounds great. I am not associated with either seller. Personally, I like VAC, but I have heard the... | |
Is it too much to ask.... Marty, get the hell out of here.....and take your logical rationality with you damn it!! ;) | |
Made in America I try to buy American, but I have owned some Canadian and European gear too. Currently, my speakers, amp, preamp and turntable/arm are American made. | |
Is it too much to ask.... +1 Elizabeth. Thank goodness for A.A. | |
Is it too much to ask.... What if a buyer asks a question about specs? Do you bother to help them out then or tell them to do their homework elsewhere first before inquiring?Mapman, I answer any questions a buyer may have. As to how much numbers mean to anyone in this hobb... | |
Is it too much to ask.... I didn't realize that we were choosing sides here. I tend to side with Viridian and Onhwy61. I'm still used to the old Audiogon days, when we had educated consumers. Audiogon has changed, there are many more uneducated consumers and even scammers ... | |
Is it too much to ask.... I remember when you used to be able to post a link in an AudiogoN ad. I used to post a link to the product I was selling web page. I miss that feature. | |
Can't drive Proac Studio 110 with low budget amps The difference between a 50 wpc amp and a 100 wpc amp is 3 db. Since the ProAc's are not really efficient speakers, I'd recommend going with at least 100 wpc. 50 wpc may cut it in a small room though. The bigger the room, the more amp power is req... | |
Verity Audio speakers I owned the older Parsifal Encore's for several years, they are wonderful speakers. I was not able to directly compare them to the newer Ovation's though. The Parsifal's could sound a tad dark, so I found they sounded best with more revealing tube... |
