Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph
I own a pair. Of course I don't consider myself a "sucker, idiot, or rich ", since I only paid $500 for mine---had I paid full retail, I guess I would have metamorphed into one. Before I bought them, or were even interested in them, I had a chance... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.
I hope I truly never run into this buyer. What next, no warranty card? Yes, the seller had a small miscue. What would happen if the original shipping boxes got damaged in transit? Will that be a reason to demand a refund too?Unless, the seller adv... 
So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers
whatever the intent of Viridian's post was, I find it to be the most realistic reason to the OP question. Things have changed a bit from the 90s---most of the newer gear is more compact, more aesthetically pleasing, less of a box or panel, nicer w... 
Equipment you just must get if you can
Innanice choice on the MGD Chameleons---I happen to have a pair and love them---Mine aren't the latest version, but the 3rd version. I often think of selling them but don't think I could ever replace them with anything close to what I would get fo... 
Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters?
I have a pair of Celestion 3000 which fits most of your bill, but aren't a true floor stander---they are best with a short 12-15in stand. Send me a note if you are interested. 
Album Of The Year 2011
Ryan Adams-Ashes and Fireproduced my Gly Johns, outstanding material as well as sound 
can this fact be accurate?
I am pretty amazed at the 100,000 figure, to be honest- it would not surprise me if that number was 25,000. I live in a Northern California, we have a Club, we get about 30-40 people for a big event. I'd imagine in smaller towns/area-they may not ... 
Tube Monoblocks w/- balanced inputs?
I use Air Tight ATM-3 monos---they have balanced inputs-I also Bi-amp my subs w.Solid statethe Air Tight can run 65 watts triode-(what I use) or 115 watts Ultra-linearafter 25 years, I have found these amps for life- 
Yamamura m6000 speaker cable??
I used to own the same cables a while ago. the seller, if, I recall, may be correct. isn't the 3rd wire a ground connection? one was supposed to try it with that 3rd wire grounded vs not grounded and determine which had a lower noise floor, or sou... 
Cheapest way to ship large speakers?
a $1000 to ship? I hope you you aren't shipping them to Nigeria 
Fake Cardas: Myth or Reality?
Gsclone , being 100% Asian, I understand your comment. The fact is, the bulk of the counterfeits do come out of China and also Russia. The fakes are also very good copies now. I am amazed to see what is being produced and how good the fakes are no...

MFSL Silver label Vinyl-English Beat-
An update, during my all too numerous record shopping days, I found a used copy of the same release. It was only 7.99, so I figured why not buy it. Playing it right now and it sounds great. It seems my other pressing was recorded at too low a leve... 
What's the best Tube DAC you have heard?
I have been using a VAC DAC 2 Mk 2 for many years----done a lot of A/B with other digital gear---the VAC remains-----I also own an Audio Logic 34 which is very close to the VAC (same person designed both, Jerry Ozment) 
Removing power conditioner...
I would say for me, it all depends. at one point I had my amps into a PS Audio p1000, and my front end into a P300, all into the same wall circuit. I sold the p300 and found i huge detriment. I bought another p300 and all was well again. I then fo...
