| Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis Hey Alec,Rtn1 referred to a review of the Isis in HiFi+, which was done by Roy Gregory, (my favorite audio magazine, and my favorite reviewer, btw.) It is a very good article. He also names the Isis as his speaker of choice for that year.Also, jus... | |
| Auditioning gear for purchase.. not in town I agree with John (Jmcgrogan2). If I can't find a friend with the piece that I am interested in (to audition it in their system), then if I really am excited about it, I will just buy it on Audiogon and test it out in my system. (Usually that mean... | |
| best value - record cleaning machine I too like the basic Nitty Gritty machine. It is cheap (I spent $100 on mine used), reliable (I have had it for about 5 years now and it is still working fine, and I am at least the second owner), and it does a good job at what it does, (which is ... | |
| Baby name opinion.... On the other hand, I think Seven is still up for grabs!(Unless George Costanza finally got married and had a kid!):-)Oh and NO, don't do it!Name your kid something normal, and not:Dweezel, Moon Unit, China, Apple, Scout, Rumor, Adolph Hitler, or a... | |

| Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....? Never.(I only have one in use, but it has been in use for a few years.) | |
| anyone else hate locking RCAs? I agree with Kal that XLRs are the way to go. I use them whenever there is the option to do so. The superior connector IMHO. | |
| recommendations for a sub $2000 cdp There just happens to be a Resolution Audio Opus 21 for sale for $1,750 here on Audiogon. Check the online reviews for this cdp and you'll find nothing but glowing reviews. I've owned one for a few years now, and I have no desire to upgrade beyond... | |
| Seeking advice on tube amps Tmesselt,Yeah, we've all been in your shoes. Just enough money for one upgrade, but needing (well, wanting really!), to do two upgrades.One thing I have done is to do the optimal upgrade first, and do it properly, and then do a "place-keeper" upgr... | |
| Seeking advice on tube amps Are you sure you want to pick your next amplifier BEFORE you pick your next speakers?I say that because you are possibly limiting your choice of speakers by doing so. I recommend auditioning the speakers first, and finding out what you really want... | |
| I could cry Hey Scott,Don't sweat the PETA idiots who can not recognize that you were merely venting. Personally, I found your post, and most of the responses, very funny.Good luck in replacing all the sleeves! | |
