| Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality Well I agree that power cords should not be used as tone controls, one has to understand that the alternative is to change the equipment. I have used p/c's as tone controls on equipment that was a bit bright or harsh. Sure, the best thing is to se... | |
| Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality Depends on how much musicality you want to add and how much brightness there is to tame. The Anaconda Vx will help, the King Cobra V2, is smoother than the Anaconda Vx, and the King Cbra V1 is smoother and warmer then the V2.Shunyata had critics c... | |

| Upgrade in five channel amplifier I doubt you'll find musical satisfaction chasing the multi-channel path. Sell the pre/pro and the multi-channel amp, and don't look back. Buy a good stereo preamp with HT throughput and a stereo amp. Then compliment it with a pre/pro & mutli-c... | |
| Amplifier recommendation for Legacy Focus 20/20 How difficult it is depends on how flexible you are between models/prices/condition.There's always something out there that would do the job nicely. Here are just a few. Krell KSA300s Classe CA-300Plinius SA-250 mk IVMcIntosh MC402Any of these sho... | |
| Amplifier recommendation for Legacy Focus 20/20 I would agree with the others who recommend a powerful SS amp. Don't let the higher sensitivity of the Focus fool you into thinking a low powered amp will do. Those (3) 12 inch woofers create quite the back EMF and sound best with a powerful high ... | |
| ebay vs audiogon PHD, USPS money orders don't give the buyer the choice of credit card use. I also have not been stung....yet. I've read posts from those who have been. I do not wish to write one of those posts. So while using Paypal may not get the buyer the unit... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Actually, what I did is just go open a new checking account. I had it verified and closed out my other bank account, which is a joint account with my wife and household moneys. My new account is strictly for Paypal. I've heard too many horror stor... | |
| What turntable for a Sumiko Blackbird? VPI Scout or Scoutmaster. | |
| ebay vs audiogon Bluefin684, I know some sellers who keep two Paypal accounts for this reason. If the buyer is transferring funds from a bank, they use the standard account, thereby no fees apply. If the buyer is using a credit card, they use their other, Premiere... | |
| ebay vs audiogon So I guess I should add 3% to the listing price and say Paypal is free. This is quite common. I know many sellers who claim Paypal is free, but will give a discount for a MO. What's the difference? I guess it's safer to do business this way. No ch... | |
| ebay vs audiogon Yeah, Ebay is very shady. One must be extremely careful when attempting to buy/sell there. I guess because it's so much larger, it tends to draw a larger amount of scammer's. | |
| Headphone amps Oh, yeah....if budget allows Cary 300B SEI. I almost forget about this when talking headphone amps. It's actually an integrated amp, but works amazingly well for headphones. At $4k MSRP, a bit pricey though. | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Plinko, yes, the person who wants to use Paypal should pay the fee. That means if the sellers only form of payment accepted is Paypal, the seller should pay the fee. However, if the seller has other payment options, such as money order, personal c... | |
