| Is 5.1 Really This Bad? I recently visited an audio dealer who has been selling the best in 2-channel for 25 years. He has 6 serious listening rooms. I was shocked to discover that ALL but one of his listening rooms is now HT. He had some pretty serious 2-channel speaker... | |
| After Market Power Cables - Gold or Snake Oil? If 18 gauge cable floats your boat then use it. As for me, I admit to other motives beyond demonstrable sonic return. I want minimum 12 gauge shielded power cord and good strong connections to hospital grade outlets. It is just basic good grooming. | |
| 123 Reviews All 5"s For Odyssey When I read reviews on audioreview I take the attitude that most people will be happy with what they recently purchased. Usually I skip right to the strengths/weaknesses section. If the reviewer lists no weaknesses then I don't read the review. | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo I agree with Maxgain, if your front end is not up to it, you could become very discouraged after purchasing the model 5. I have done exactly what he suggested. I have put my $$$ into the best front end I can afford, and am only now shopping for an... | |
| used when promised new In light of recent posts, if this actually comes up for discussion as a formal dispute, I would be inclined to side with the seller as well. | |
| used when promised new Another vote here for neutral feedback. The product will serve you well, however, it is not quite as represented. My vote is cast as an individual who buys on Audiogon with the intent of using the products I purchase.There is probably a valid lega... | |
| Thiel or Sonus Faber??...Need help please I am trying to evaluate speakers myself at present, and I have two important messages: 1. Audiogon has helped me to create an excellent short list of speakers to listen to. However, in EVERY case, a listening session changed my interpretation of w... | |

| You never know what today will bring The Electrocompaniet CDP is a true balanced design, as is the Pass Labs X-1 Pre that is next in the chain.I have been swapping in new PCs as well. Since I do not have dedicated line I have a ground loop problem which I currently correct by floatin... | |
| After Market Power Cables - Gold or Snake Oil? A look at the archive will turn up the following two things:1. The GREATEST benefits are obtained by running dedicated line to your audio equipment.2. The benefits of after market power cords are much more readily apparent in systems with dedicate... | |
| Is High End Cable Really Worth It and What Brand I agree with AVGUYGEORGE. You have a lot new already going on. Get yourself up and running. I would offer a point of reference. The discovery 123 speaker cable is a very neutral entry level cable. You might visit fatwyre.com, find your existing ca... | |
| Good source for technical info Sean,Thanks. If you continue to provide links this useful, you will make yourself dispensible. | |
| Is Remote Control Important? I agree with Bob_bundus. When I am doing serious listening this often means changing listening level from track to track - just a bit, but an important bit. Being able to switch through CD tracks I don't enjoy is also important to me. On balance, ... | |
| 2000$ - 7y old speakers - Better speakers today ? A corollary to this question is: "how does inflation affect the price of audio components?" | |
| BAT VK50SE vs CJ 16LS vs ARC 25mrk II/Ref2 I have heard both the CJ and ARC. I find the ARC to have the blackest background, but a bit sterile. The CJ 16LS is very warm and engaging. BTW, I own the Pass X1. Chose it over the CJ and the ARC. It is as Ivanj describes. Warm and very transpare... |
