| Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality Am I on auto-delete? | |
| Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality I always take comments from people who are in the business of trying to sell me something with a big grain of salt. This is particularly true when their posts are incoherent (as others have mentioned) and full of grammatical errors (like others h... | |
| Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase Hi, Great Question, and very nice speakers.I would call Egglestonworks directly (Jim Thompson is the President and is a really great guy). They are just getting back from a big show, so they may be a bit behind. But, I have always found Jim's co... | |
| How good is your system This is the best thread I have ever read on Audiogon.Best responses so far-- My system is so good Mikey Fremer is speechless.Second would be the one from Geoff Kaitt-- the one where the lady appears and his system isn't even on.I can't top those, ... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? I own them now; Egglestonworks Viginti’s. Every time I finish listening to them, regardless of what I was playing, I always tell my wife; "Man those speakers sound great!" Of course, she’s happy that I like them (love them), but she really doesn’t... | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers If you want to buy ATC's, check out Goodwin's High End in Waltham (Boston). Good guys, knowledgeable and straight-forward. | |
| Recommendation on power amp Dave/AudioTroy, Audio Doctor--Nice job of trying to shuck and jive to try and take the attention off yourself. Won’t work with me, though. And, I think most audiophiles are smart enough that it won’t work with them, either.You guys have one guy sh... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Sure seems to me that Dave and Troy (The Audio Doctor) have managed to alienate Oddiofyl somewhere along the line. Thus, his/her focus includes some cautionary notes for the rest of us.I have received some really, really helpful insights from man... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? Spearit Sound was great; Jack Tozzi and Dick Moulding. They are missed.Reno Hi-Fi for Pass Labs gear. Mark is the most gracious audio guy I have ever dealt with. | |
| When do you turn off the tubes? I usually shut the amps off each time I am done listening. Whenever I leave them on thinking I am going to go back to listening, my day usually changes so I can't. If I turn them off, the odds of being able to listen more dramatically increases.... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I love my Conrad Johnson LP260M SE's. They sound great, rarely have to change a single output tube (once a year), and have never had a problem with the unit itself. CJ dealers talk about a 97% reliability rate (no trips back for repair)-- and I ... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? Maine--- Brrrrr. | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? EgglestonWorks Viginti’s. Mikey likes them, too.Why? Sound quality that does everything I hoped for in a sub $50,000 speaker. I am pretty sure this is my last stop for speakers.Great sound, great build (right here in the U.S.A.), great company an... | |

| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Thanks everybody. You know, when I posted this, I really wasn't sure what to expect. Safe to say that your collective responses have far exceeded by best hope for info. I have a lot of specific suggestions to work from now, and that's really gr... |
