| Selfless, Audio professionals, who help us improve are life of listening to music. Bill was indeed one of the true gentlemen of audio. He was always welcoming and willing to give you a listen or advice even if you were only purchasing a $3 LP. | |
| Selling on Audiogon I've never had a problem buying or selling on Usaudiomart. If you price realistically things should move. | |
| 200g vinyl, more static? I think it depends on the time of year and where you live. I have much more static on my vinyl during the winter months, living in the Northeast. | |
| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? Another VPI fan picked up a used Scout Aries for under $1K. Still running fine 5 years on. | |
| What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers I think Ryco is now owned by Warner, never had a problem with the Hendrix or Bowie Lp's I purchased when they were independent. | |
| With what you know now what components doe you wish you had bought years ago? Allison or ADS speakers instead of Bose 901's in the mid 70's. I had a friend who was in love with Bose, bought a pair and convinced me to do the same. | |

| Friend needs advice for $8,000 system I would go with a Parasound integrated it will give you everything for about $3K new.I ran one with my Maggie 1.7i and the paring was musical magic. It has almost a tube like sound. That would leave about $2K for a t.t. and cartridge and there are... | |

| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh It's been awhile but I didn't want to leave my saga without an ending. Since moving to the Pass equipment and putting many more hours on the speakers they have settled in beautifully, I guess they just needed many hours of play to fully break in. ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 If he's still reading it would be interesting if he posted what he tried and what the final results were. | |
| pass labs x250.8 or simaudio w-5 The Pass is a fantastic piece of equipment but the only way to really know is get out and listen yourself. | |
