| Selling Large Speakers - How to reduce shipping? Things you can do to make your shipping experience as boring and uneventful as possible, (which includes paying as little as possible, and not worrying whether they are going to make their safe and sound!) are:One, put your speakers on a pallet an... | |
| Dynavector DV DRT XV-1s and mono Well, I can see that you are not getting any input, so I will give you what input I can, based upon my experience.First, a bit of history on myself. I too love the Koetsu sound. It is sort of like listening to tubes versus solid state. There is ju... | |
| Sunday morning music...what's spinning? I got a rock!(I feel like Charley Brown @ Halloween. I'm stuck here at work, on a Sunday morning. So no tunes for me. Argh!!!) | |
| is audiogon good for the audio industry or bad? You wrote "Absolute Sound drives me into retailers and listening rooms, helps educate me and helps create my wish list, but, AG helps me make it a reality. The result is that I spend far more $$ on equipment...which by the way, drives me to buy ab... | |
| Titan, Transfiguration Orpheus or Air Tight PC1?? Well, since Raul brought up the (Dynavector) XV-1S, I will state that an acquintance has two nearly identical Basis 2500 turntables (with Vector tone arms), and we installed a Dynavector XV-1S on one turntable, and a Transfiguration Orpheus on the... | |
| Fed Ex Ground Shipping Woes I agree with Sns.Stay completely away from Fedex ground especially, unless you're shipping something completely indestructible.I prefer USPS for my shipping needs. I have never had a problem with them. (The only caveat being that they have a rathe... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Since you have a tube amp already, and probably prefer its sound to solid state, perhaps you should consider trying a hybrid amp, as it combines the best of both worlds, great bass response (deep, tight and quick), with extended treble response an... | |
| Raos cartridge As a side note, I took a look, and Nicecupoftea has been a member for a couple of years. (02-17-07 is the date listed as his being active.) And yet today was his first post ever.Even more interesting, is the Music_lover has been a member even long... | |
| Raos cartridge Well, I could not help but notice that Nicecupoftea, much like Music_lovers, just registered on Audiogon, and this is his first post as well. Hmmmm.....Interesting, huh?What do you think Dan_ed? You gonna run right out and buy one to try it out?;-... | |
| best amp for Revel Studio speakers Question regarding the Audio note speaker cables that you mention: Are they bi-wired, or is he using jumpers?If jumpers, he is not using those crappy metal bars that come supplied with the Studios is he? (If so, have him replace them with somethin... | |
| Any new up & coming high end speaker lines? FYI: As an update to this thread, I did upgrade my speakers about six months ago to the Eggleston Works Andra II speakers. (I found a very lightly used pair for sale locally at a great price. The seller even let me try them out first in my system.... | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES Ozzy,I must say that I agree with your assessment on the looks. I don't mind aluminium side panels, as long as they are the entire side. (I previously had the Revel Studios, with the gloss black body, and the aluminium side panels, and I always li... | |
| Please suggest good balanced Preamp I agree with Ejlif about getting the Ayre K-1x, and if possible the, (e) version. It has everything you stated you want in a preamp, (except the tubes of course!).The used price of the K-1x is typically around $3,500, w/o phono; the K-1xe, again w... | |
| Audiophiles get NO respect "Hey, he said "Naked"! he-he-he!(Picture Beavis and Butthead while repeating that line!):-) | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? I would recommend a used pair of Revel Studios. Your $4K budget is just enough to get a pair. They are nearly full range, as they go down to 30hz, and with room reinforcement, they will sound full range. These are very accurate speakers, and the b... |
