| MORE Esoteric problems Hey rickytickytwo, This post does take a positive turn as Esoteric did respond by offering a new service whereby the transport itself is removed in California and sent to Japan reducing the cost of service considerably. I haven't heard from anyone... | |
| Selling a very rare album If you do list it for sale, make sure that the potential buyer knows it's of poor quality. A hardcore fan would want it anyway. I had a guy send me Gordon lightfoot cassettes years ago. He rated each tape by the SQ. Tapes that I could barely hear,... | |
| Help- audiophile husband just dies There is another consideration here. What this lady may want is just a few options of what to do with this equipment. She just lost her husband. She may want to simply know what it’s worth and move it out in one fell swoop. I helped a lady who one... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? Like myself, I assume you are 60+ years of age. I just sold my Snell TypeA V5 speaker system, not because it didn't sound good but because the idea of moving it again was daunting. After boxing it up, I felt like a went a few rounds with Hulk Hoga... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. Bruce Cockburn recordings are all top notch. Both LP's and CD;s image and sound great. Joe | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear Interesting question. My collection would fetch a good buck If the full extent of it could be catalogued and advertised. My issue is that I have what must be one of the most unique collections around. I've gone to unusual lengths in the past 50 ye... | |
| Wadia being sold for a third of it's retail Most likely it's just supply and demand. I bought a 321 just for giggles. I never owned a Wadia so I corrected that situation. The DAC is built like a tank and sounds very good. It lacks features like streaming ability. This probably contributed t... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Millercarbon is spot on. I know because I owned 2 SX1280 receivers back in the day. My first upgrade was to purchase an Onyko preamp in maybe 1982. I used the amp in the Pioneer with the new preamp. I wasastonished at the difference. The preamp se... | |
| Billy Cobham Question Besides the press kit, you probably have a first pressing as well. Very cool. | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more I can't hear what anyone is saying while I'm busy staring at my equipment. | |
| Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player? twoleftears is spot on! CD players at the upper echelons are better described as different rather than good, better or best. I had the Esoteric X0-1. It had a very full soundstage. I moved onto the PS Audio directstream DAC. It's more laid back. I... | |
| Who remembers audio from the time when ... Anything we did in our youth was amazing. I remember hanging out in a friends basement with a very crappy stereo. He did however have a giant color organ that looked cool when Steve Miller was playing. I also had a girl with me. That added to it a... | |
| Amps with meters ... Carver knew about the value of meters. I had a pair of their small monoblocks in the 90's. I can't remember the model number. They didn't sound good at all BUT, they held a good value I think because of the cool looking Frankenstein meters they sp... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! I was walking down Baker St. in London with a native English friend one day. I mentioned the song by Gerry Rafferty. He said he didn't even chart in England. Crazy huh? Question please;almarg stated; Many thanks to Elizabeth for posting the link... | |
| Which Brand 5.1 Receiver & Model for under $400 & speaker suggestions? Consider an Anthem MRX 510 or the MRX310. Both Excellent sounding receivers. I saw a 510 out there for $499.00 You will be blown away by the build quality and the sound. AND, if and when you need service, you will be able to talk to techs at Anthe... |
