| I hate when this happens Now you are speaking my language.Why is it that family members don't like full on bass or orchestra from 40 feet and 1 or 2 stories away. I mean, it's not like they can hear it like I can.My team has a signal; they turn the light switch on and of... | |
| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why Trust your ears. I do.After buying 2nd to the top line Conrad Johnson electronics and a Pass Labs phonostage, I thought I was good to go with my Rega RP6 with the Exact2 cartridge. Every time I put on an album (after cleaning it on my Clearaudio... | |
| Soooooooo many possibilities...! Here's another recommendation for Conrad Johnson for your front end.I have the tube LP260M se's and also a ss mf2550 SE, paired with an ET5 preamp and an ET3 preamp, respectively. CJ has stopped making SS amps, but they are great quality, offer r... | |
| Martin Logan speakers I have not listened to the ML Vista's, but came within inches of buying a pair of NOS Summit X's from a dealer. I had heard the Expressions, which replaced the Summit X's and then listened to the Summit X's-- big mistake. Martin Logan has not, a... | |
| Pass Labs Xa160.5 Either way, go with Mark at Reno Hi-Fi. His customer service is the best I have ever experienced, his prices are competitive, and Pass Labs makes terrific products-- across the board. | |
| I have a few things i dont need, how do i get them gone? I gave a pair of modestly valued computer speakers to my son's school last year. They couldn't believe how "nice" they were. So, if you are of a mind to donate the items, I would check with a local school. Then, lots of kids/prospective audioph... | |
| Cartridge for my Rega RP6 Thanks for the responses so far. I would like to hear more to get a full perspective.I have the Exact2 cartridge, which I think is the problem on the table (in the entire system, actually). I was considering the Hana SL because a nice audio stor... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Think about the margins here folks; 40% or more, most of the time. When you audition $20,000 in gear, if it's new, $8,000 or so goes right into the dealer's pocket. Now I know bricks and mortar are expensive and so is keeping on the lights. But... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Hey folks, let's talk about the dollar amount of sales here, along with the profit margins on high end audio equipment. If I am contemplating dropping $20,000 on a pair of speakers, is it so unreasonable that I ask the store manager not to be an ... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? So, after purchasing $5,800 in amps from this unnamed Good High End dealer in Waltham, Mass, I ask to hear a couple of speakers. Set up the demo a week ahead of time. Listened to the speakers, which happened to be Magico 3 MK2, which I thought w... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 If you have tubes in your front end, Pass Labs XP15 phonostage sounds great, and has been replaced by the XP17, so there are some floating around at very good deals. Mark at Reno HiFi is the best, and he's a true gentleman.The only thing I think ... | |

| Comparing PSB, Paradigm and Revel - your thoughts? Manitunc, I have a pair of PSB Stratus Gold i's and am thinking about getting a pair of used PSB Synchrony 1's. I have heard the newst T3's and i think PSB went in the wrong direction with those; muddy bass, just bad sound overall. Do you still... | |
| Opinions on Krell LAT-1 Speakers Thanks George. This is very helpful, and generous of you to share. This is exactly why I like Audiogon. | |
| Opinions on Krell LAT-1 Speakers This post is for George, or anybody else who is more skilled in electrical physics or system matching than I am.I am interested in purchasing a pair of used Krell LAT 1's as I think they are a well built, under-appreciated speaker.I saw George's p... |
