| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? They happen every day. Here is another fraud listing. Seller just joined Audiogon today, no feedback, and he's selling a $5000 Allnic Audio H-1500 II SE phono stage for $1250. I'm sure he will accept $1000 for it too, since it does not exist.Buyer... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice Well, the Plinius SA-103 is nice, but it's no Clayton M300.You said you needed the power, 125 wpc is not 300 wpc.I would go with the Clayton M300 mono's, sell you BAT VK-30 and look for a VAC, Aesthetix , or ARC preamp. All three are more resolvin... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Bpd24, welcome to Audiogon! It didn't used to be like this, but has gotten progressively worse. The last 6-12 months have really seen a huge increase in scammers. I'm glad you used PayPal.They seem to like the $1000 price range, as it makes them s... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Been there, done that. He sounds fraudulent to me. I had that same issue, and the seller kept promising to ship and send tracking information, stalling for time so that he could skip out with the cleared cash from PayPal.It must work, I see a lot ... | |

| Which Allen key for Graham Phantom II Supreme? Well, you could either contact Graham and ask them, or buy a set of standard allen wrenches and find out for yourself. | |
| Onda Cables? Yes Well if Onda comes out with a Rapture r in the near future, maybe you should have a conversation. ;^)John | |
| Onda Cables? Yes 04-05-15: StsJohn-I thought I was the only one who had a cable called the Rapture?? I do believe that you used the name before Onda did Steve. I think their Rapture came out in 2013/2014? Maybe you should have copyrighted it. ;^)Cheers,John | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice I'm sure the Clayton M300's will sound great, especially if they have the hum issue fixed. My M100's also had that transformer hum issue, but did sound great.On another note, many audiophiles are prone to hyperbole. Nothing I've heard in audio "ki... | |
| Basis Vector cartridge recommendations @Pani, thank you for the tip on the Audio Technica ART9. I will have to keep that in mind as a "must try". The price certainly seems reasonable. It sounds like a winner! Thanks again!@Pops, yes, I know the MSL's are expensive. LOL! However, you co... | |
| Basis Vector cartridge recommendations I agree, I do not know much about the MSL carts at all outside of the fact that A.J. loves them.I do agree with Chayro and Ebm, you cannot go wrong with a Transfiguration cartridge. Eminently musical, yet not is a warm, syrupy sweet way, more in a... | |
| Onda Cables? Yes Two years later and there is still not much out there on Onda cables/cords. I had a friend who raved about some Onda cables just over a year ago. I had never heard of them.I kept them on my radar, and when a chance came up for a Onda Rapture power... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice Well if you love the speakers that much, then obviously, stick with them. I would probably look to try ZD542's advice, and look for a more modern tube amp. CJ Premier 12's do have that classic tube sound, sweet, syrupy, but can be a bit sluggish. ... | |
| Clayton Audio Class A amps. Need amp advice I am not familiar with your speakers, but maybe that is part of the problem. Just looking though a review in Stereo Times, the reviewer seemed to really love the speakers except for this: "If there was one caveat, one single area I felt the C8 Ren... | |
| How to divide a budget between components 03-30-15: Jmcgrogan2 Sorry, there is no secret formula. Some folks say that you should spend 50% or more on the source, that the source is the most important link. Some say amp, some say speakers, even others will say cables, room, etc.It looks li... |
