| Best and Worst customer service? Best-Dunlavy Drew Rigby. Smart, friendly and helpful. From speaker placement to finishes.Worst-Paypay. To call it customer service is to define oxymoron. There is no service at all. Only boilerplate computer generated email. | |
| Audiophile spending I buy what I am comfortable spending as long as I want the item. I purchased two complete systems this year; one home theater and one two channel. Both high end. That being said, they'll be a handfull that nothing is as good as their equipment and... | |
| Is Component "Upgradability" Important ? Hi,I upgraded a ML38 to a ML380S. Given the upgrade cost me $2650 and the original piece $1600, it put me about as much as most of the upgraded 380S around. However, I ran into a 380S for $3500 which I'm sure plays just as good as my "new" 380S.Wh... | |
| What s your latest buy? Happy with it? Latest 335 ML to replace 332 ML good, maybe very good. A little too bright in the mid upper mid range. Used, got a great deal. Cost was small for upgrade.380S upgrade to 38S ML verry good! New upgrade, cost a ton. Worth it!Proceed AVP/s to Lexicon... | |
| Which receiver would you buy? Onkyo 777/787. Get a B model on Ebay for less than 600. Look up the THD in both the amp section and the tuner section. It's essentially the same as the NAD equipment with better power and cheaper. | |
| Feelings on Napster? For me it's simple. Giving away what you don't own is theft! It is antithetical to America and precisely why the USSR isn't around any more. Napster stole the essential property rights of others in order to "gain" for themselves. Whether they "gai... | |
| Is Paypal safe? Hi Angela,When I posted to this thread, I believe the question was, "Is Paypal safe"? Would you clarify for me what you believe I was writing about other than the question? My concern is for others to be aware of the pitfalls that can occur to an ... | |
| Is Paypal safe? No,I have had a theft from my checking account through a fraud on my Paypal account which I notified Paypal of immediately and they ignored it for three days. Rather than stop the check they drew, I notified them of an unauthorized payment from my... | |
| Who R U? Hey, Doug, When reading your note, I had the following thought.When I was a kid, there were a few Ferraris in my neighborhood. One day I was at the pizza joint and there was a 1967 275 GTB4, which in my opinion is absolutely beautiful. I remember ... | |
| Who R U? Hi everyone. I've been asking myself the question for most of my 51 years. I'm a retired pension actuary. Yeah, I know, the most boring guys in the world! Well, considering I'm a residential landlord on Long Island, I've got bad and worse covered.... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Well for the money, probably a Onkyo DV501 used... about 80% as good as the real thing and about $200. Now for the music and the money an RA55 used... about $2000 and terrific! | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I find that rather than being a status symbol as in exotic cars...Ferrari's and Lambos which touch in the heart of men as rich sportsmen, i.e. as the machinery we've all dreamed of driving fast, high end audio equipment is scorned by many who can'... | |
| Dunlavy SC IIs What is the size of your room? I have two pairs of SC-IV's; one in my Living room (25x15) with the speakers set at six feet from the side wall and three feet from the back wall, the other pair are in use in the theater (26x17) with the speakers se... | |
| How to buy from Audiogon? I have bought and sold over one hundred items on Ebay, Audiogon, Audioweb and Audioreview. If the purchase price is low, I prefer to use Paypal as they insure the transaction against fraud for up to $200. If the item is a big ticket and it is a st... | |
| Dunlavy SC IIs Why all the advice to buy SC-III's when SC-IV's can be bought used within the $2500 budget if he shops well? |
