| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? "There you have it, average ordinary retirees more paranoid than a homeless tweeker at the end of a four day binge." Yeah, what he said. -John | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Van Morrison at the San Bernadino Orange Show Event Center sometime in '72 when I was 16. Since I had my drivers license I was the driver in a '56 VW bug. Still running 6-volt, so the headlights were about half as bright as a Bic Lighter. Thank... | |
| What do you do when you get a bad vinyl record pressing? Not quite lathe chips but that turntable was deplorable. It ruined a lot of LP's. It seemed like it would grind the inside tracks. I used AudioTechnica cartridges and a Concord cartridge. I really liked the Concord cartridge. I wish I had one no... | |
| What do you do when you get a bad vinyl record pressing? "so many used discs were mistracked on crappy equipment" After high school the wanna be in me audiophile purchased a Garrard Zero 100 turntable. I think there were a pile of lathe chips on the floor after an LP was played. Only album I ever F... | |
| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp Thanks for the Benchmark info. I messaged Performance Audio for their recommendation and they came back with: "If you want the best quality option the Mogami W2534 is the wire you are looking for, it’s a quad cable and has the best noise rejecti... | |
| Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp Bringing up an older post as I will be needing 35 foot XLR from my pre to main amp. Erik Squires: which Mogami and which ends would you recommend please? I've always enjoyed your input and thoughts on Audiogon. Thanks, John | |

| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. signaforce: The Acoustic America/Acoustimac site is awesome! So many cool options. -John | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. A lot of great ideas, thank you. In regards to using the Corning 703, there is a great place in Burbank CA called Speaker City USA that sell speaker grill material on a giant roll. Seems like a good material to try out. -John | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. I will check into the 703 material and see if the Mrs. can do something with it aesthetically wise. My daughters house has the vinyl planking and it is really noisy. Echos like crazy in her very large room with her Sonos setup. That is what I n... | |
| Frequently asking to re-login I know whenever I take my laptop to another location and my wifi is changed I am asked to re-login. At home, only every so often. It is only a small issue for me as the safety of not being hacked or phished is well worth the energy expended. | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? There is a plethora of cool things to learn on this site. So many things I had no idea about. And as noted above, I got turned on to a lot of new music I would never have gotten an opportunity to hear and enjoy. Thanks to all who have contribut... | |
