Care to share your scams?
ryllau, 12 years and it still gets to you doesn't it? that's the worst part about being scammed.one of the oldest around is the van with 'overstock' speakers in the back. i know several people who've been taken by this one and some recently. virtu...

dekay you're right it is very sad. i hate to say it but chains like the glendale WoW are simply the best places for jazz cds now. just their miles section is about 10 feet x 3 feet and they have all kinds of hard-to-find japanese coltrane pressing...

whatup dekay? aron's (one 'r') is terrible now for used lps. they do have a small selection of new jazz lps on 180 and it's worth calling because of that but not taking a special trip unless you also want cds. they have a better selection of tranc...

i should add that the record collector is only good for jazz and classical. 
Tube amp newbie- where can I learn??
Damn. who did the golden tubes? blume?

The Record Collector. i hate to say it because the owner is a scammer and will rip you off the second you turn your back and dont even think of getting a refund on a scratched lp. that said the guy has got just about any lp you want and usually de... 
Good Stuff Cheap
prs good point about the acoustats which i should have mentioned. dont buy them if you listen to rock...you'll hate them. female vocals and small ensembles are definitely their strong point - but they're an 'oh my god' in that arena. 
Candles are lit, lights are down low
crap bob ...1812? my 'big finish' barely requires 'flight of the bumblebee.' 
Candles are lit, lights are down low
bmpnyc i'll check out 'last great concert' thanks. i like the later chet too but sometimes the whistling and chirping coming from his false teeth upsets me. does the 'sound' compare to 'chet baker sings?' the sound on that one is really amazing hu...

thunders and i usually put on some ozzie.when i'm with a woman, however, (a *real* woman - no offense thundie) it's all about chet baker, especially 'chet baker sings.' sometimes edith piaf. 
Sony 777 vs Electrocampaniat EMC-1
hey wirehead, thanks! that deserves a couple flitchens back. however, i had only noted the lack of the dash after emc to aid in searching for the link. when i go off on someone it's usually obvious.well, while we're here... how've you been? stop b...

so who gave me -2/-2 for the above post? that doesn't even make sense. 
Best speaker in nearfield listening
something just occurred to me: if you have a small room the acoustats might be wrong. they need to be at least 3 feet out from the rear wall. 
Best speaker under $500
people are going to start thinking i work for acoustat i rave about these so much. if i had 500 flitchens to spend i'd find a used pair of acoustats - either model IIs or model IIIs (i haven't heard the 1100s or the 4s or the rest so cant comment)... 
Best speaker in nearfield listening
i listen to my acoustat model IIIs about 7-8 feet back and the sound is gigantic. i think these work great close because they beam (one of their drawbacks) and dont interfere with each other. once you find the right position it's heaven. although ...
