| Basis Vector cartridge recommendations That's great Pops! Thanks for the update, I'm glad that you are enjoying your Proteus!! | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck What he is doing "right" is pissing off the establishment. Many musicians have done this over the years. Win the hearts of the young by pissing off the elders. You could look at Elvis Pressly, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc.... | |
| ARC VSI 60 vs Cary SLI 80 or BAT 300xse I would think the ARC would be the best choice for Vandersteen speakers. Since Vandersteen can be a bit darker sounding, and Cary and BAT can also be darker sounding, the resolution of the ARC would probably work out best to balance the system.Enj... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Congrats on the refund. Now you are learning how to play "Spot the Scamster" here on Audiogon. Report them when you find them. Audiogon normally clears them out pretty quickly once spotted. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? 04-23-15: CdcSure, the merry-go-round goes in circles with no end. We need an "audiophile highway" with a destination.There is no destination, an audiophile never finds the end of the highway. It goes on until one loses interest in audio for other... | |
| Sold in one day Not to go too far off track and get into a political debate, but politicians are only puppets. Go ahead, throw your tomatoes at the puppets if that brings you a sense of relief. That's how the puppetmaster prefers the show to go anyway. | |
| Bi-wire jumper config It sounds like you are running single wire, not Biwire. I think it depends on the speakers and the design of the crossover. My previous speakers worked best going into the LF and jumping to the HF. However, my current speakers sound better with th... | |
| Sold in one day I am confused, I mean if you know what you want and you really want it, why bother waiting for it to pop up on AudiogoN? Why not just buy a new one? Since money doesn't seem to be an issue for you Cerrot. | |
| Basis Vector cartridge recommendations Congrats Jerry! I hope that the new Proteus will bring you many years of joy! That Basis, Transfiguration, Allnic combination must sound fantastic! Enjoy the music. Cheers, John | |
| Tubed Phono Preamp Assuming you are looking at $1500-$2000 used range, I would recommend the Allnic H1201, or a Herron VTPH-1 MC+.Cheers,John | |
| wheres the threshold philes Most Threshold philes hang out on theThreshold Lovers website. | |
| Sold in one day Occasionally I buy or sell in one day or less, but more often than not it takes quite a bit longer. I usually start selling on other free sites first, before throwing money at Audiogon to pay to sell an item.In this hobby, patience is a virtue, as... | |
| Slow Down, You Move too Fast Denon1 is right on the money! I recommend that you go with the Snake River Audio Cottmouth Signature speaker cables Art, you will love them. Also, try some Jade and KCI interconnects, and some Dynamic Designs power cords while you are at it. That ... | |
| Which one...? Well it depends on your own personal musical tastes. I have not heard the Accuphase, but I have heard the other two. I chose the Marantz because it is smoother and more musical sounding than the Esoteric. However, if you are looking for a more res... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? That was quick Al! I did report that listing, but I did not expect such quick action by Audiogon, especially on a weekend. There have been a rash of these ads on Audiogon just in 2015. I'm sure Audiogon is working overtime just trying to keep pace... |
