| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! Mapman, if there's no statute of limitations on an answer; I got a good listening session on the MBL set up. I was in there while a reviewer occupied the sweet spot. I thought it was the best at the show. It sounded like it would not fatigue at an... | |
| Capital Audiofest Coming Up! I didn't see anyone with a name tag or label. I was there Saturday and Sunday. Even the name tags of the vendors were difficult to read. It would be nice to meet a few people from here. Let's make something happen next year. Joe | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? OP, You didn't indicate if your friend wanted an opinion or not. If they merely turned it on for background music, case closed. Did your friend give any indication that they wanted your opinion? A few kind remarks could start a good conversation. ... | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? In the folk music realm, drinking songs are endless. I'm at work. I can't spend the time thinking them up. Here is what might be THEE best drinking song ever! Stick To The Craythur by The Green Fields of America Stick To The Craythur (Live) | |
| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 By all means, consider having a good electrician rewire your house for more than one reason. For starters, people who lived in your house before you may have tinkered with fixing and wiring themselves. I've seen Teflon wire used to run a "new" fix... | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers Be aware that if you buy a Modwright amp used, there is NO warranty! I'm running the Benchmark AHB2. I'm happy with them. Good luck. Joe | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used FYI, I'm one of them! | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Asking other people to pick out a speaker for you is akin to asking us to find a girlfriend for you. Speaker choice is more personal than any other component. You really need to go to an audio show and listen for yourself. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Maybe I'll add to your woes here. 50% depreciation someone said? That's if you're lucky. Many or most speakers won't fetch 25% of their retail price. The audio market is as finicky and fickle as any. If a manufacturer goes out of business and your... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier There is a chance that it is a legitimate sale. If the box was destroyed, it could have gone to claims. The damaged or "lost" goods get sold at auction and the new owner can do what they want with it. Don't approach the situation with an accusator... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? This is the difference between an Audiophile and a music lover. Music first for me. Now I can't take most bootlegs shows that used to be at so many record shows. Anyone who refuses to listen to a concert because it's subpar quality is more in love... | |
| Solid State Power Amps Benchmark AHB2. They will shock you. Read the reviews and check it out! Good luck. Joe | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address It sounds like you have a love hate relationship with YG. Get a divorce. | |
| Help me understand the current amp market I love my Benchmark AHB2 monoblocks. You'll never get a hernia lifting them either! | |
| Still the demons of GAS pursue me popular thinking in the 70's was "the more gear you can feed the signal though, the better". Guys used to drool over the rack mounted components. Some of that equipment still commands a fair dollar. I see the Pioneer SX1250 with an asking price of... |
