| How to contact Audiogon? I have requested assistance from Audiogon 5 or 6 times over the past 5 years. Every time, my inquiry was handled in a friendly, courteous and timely way-- usually on the same day. Sometimes within an hour. Have you considered upgrading to conci... | |
| Need new headphone setup. And, you should have bought Grado's. | |
| Need new headphone setup. Hey, wait a minute. You didn't give me enough time.😊 I have ideas, opinions, thoughts. These take time to contemplate and compose. You can't ask us early in the morning on a Tuesday and then tell us later that day you have made your decision a... | |
| Where should the vocal image be? My answer is 1.5; somewhere between: 1. On the same plane as the speakers. 2. About mid way between the listener and the speakers plane. Depends on the recording, though. | |
| Need help choosing a new CD Player Lots of folks looking to get an inexpensive CD player got the Onkyo C7030 a couple of years ago. I stumbled across an Onkyo C7070 that has dual Wolfson chips and was $600 to $700 new. I paid $300 for it and it's a great unit. These may be getti... | |
| Are tubes psychological? I like the sound of components that use tubes. The "warm glow" doesn't do anything positive for me. Rather, it reminds me that each one of these suckers is going to need to be replaced somewhere along the line, and then I start to do the math in... | |

| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Try a used Conrad Johnson MF2550 or MF2275/MF2275SE.The MF2550SE will be a little over your budget; probably by $500 to $700 ($3,700 total), but the amp will keep up with some of the best tube monoblocks out there (upwards of $25,000). The MF2275 ... | |
| To clean or not to clean... I like the sound of vinyl, but I hate the clicks, pops and bad sound you can get with any album, including new ones-- even with a good pressing.I use a ClearAudio Smart Matrix, which was spendy-- $1,600 when I bought it, and it has kept me in viny... | |
| On ''what there is'' Does anybody else think "Who's on First" is more entertaining than this stuff? I mean.... other than me. | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room Get the used pair of Egglestonworks Vigintis for sale here on Audiogon (no, they are not mine, but I do own a pair). They are $19,900.With moderate power (300 wpc), I have never, ever felt the need for a subwoofer-- pitch perfect bass-- that you ... | |
| The two stages of audiophilia Did I hear that one right; facultative?I am being deliberately facultative in my efforts to ameliorate my chronic condition of upgrade-itis. | |
| How long do good speakers last? Humidity plays a big role in how well speakers age. We have a dehumidifier for the humid 7 months of the year and that keeps relative humidity to around 45%. Moist enough that the seams don't dry and crack, but dry enough that mold doesn't grow ... | |
| Why so many tubes? I live in a cold climate and need the heat that the KT150's provide. 4 per amp and my sound room is comfy from October to May. During summer... well, that's another story. |
