| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? Amps and speakers in my experience are the hardest two things to resell. I have two of them in my current main system. OP, to your question though; I agree with the previous posters above that stereo amps are generally easier to resell. Because yo... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? Lots of stuff! A photo of myself with Mason Williams, the Classical Gas man himself in his hotel room in Valley Forge. I shared a joint with him as well. I've been on his family and friends list for years. Lots of live shows. I like Basia. My f... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? In 1995 I had the chance to cable my system with Transparent Reference. It was not a subtle difference! I tried the Super, the Ultra and the Reference all within a weeks time. you could point to the soundstage with the change of each set of cables... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? "I spent 90% of my money on wine and women, the other 10% I wasted". Get a turntable and be happy! Joe | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I admired the Dahlquist DQ30i speakers in the early nineties. I bought a mint pair one year ago as the price was too good to ignore. ($800.00) I only have them on my television setup that includes a Sony video receiver. I have had numerous high en... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I don't try to compare my home system to anything but other home systems. Where home systems excel is in the ability to serve on demand! How many times have you had tickets for any given event only to not feel up to snuff on that date? Try going t... | |
| Looking for a great cassette deck okay, I pulled the trigger and bought a Nakamichi 682ZX. I haven't received it yet. I'll make a recording of a tape from my denon deck and then the NAK. I'll share the results when done. I was intrigued by the auto azimuth feature it offered. Than... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Several reasons I listen to CD's; I have a ton of them. I get very little time to listen so I maximize the time by not "fussing" with LP's. I have an eclectic taste (a kind word!). Most of what I listen to isn't on ANY streaming channels. I'm not ... | |

| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I dislike any gear that so departs from what you can fit into your equipment rack. I'm considering a Mola Mola DAC. To me it fits the ugly description | |
| Speaker cables with good timbre +1 on the Acoustic Zen Hologram. They don't add or take away anything from the soundstage. I'm also using Acoustic Zen speakers so they make all the more sense. | |
| 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. ... |
