| Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread standard money-back scam. The check will be a forgery. | |
| tonearm cable capacitance, Origin Live Illustrious Al, thanks so much. | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? Agree w Sthomas. | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ I throw an afghan (quilt) over my tv for serious listening, which makes such a clear improvement that even non-audiophiles hear it. It may not be necessary to remove it from the room, just control reflections from that very hard surface. Some quil... | |
| How does one copy cassette tapes to computer? I use a Nakamichi Dragon into an M-audio Delta 1010, running Steinberg Wavelab recording and mastering software. An M-audio Audiophile 194 sound card would be less expensive and almost as good. Unfortunately, many recent brand-name desktop compute... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Mesa Baron. With adjustable feedback, various triode/pentode choices, capability to use different tubes, it can be adjusted to suit the music or the moment. Doesn't mean I do not want others, too! | |
| What is Jazz? Minorl, thanks, that was an amazing diatribe. | |
| Grado reference platnum or Grado statement platnum the low output version requires a fairly specialized phono preamp. MM inputs don't have enough gain, but many mc inputs - e.g., using transformers - won't work or won't provide adequate 47K loading. You'd probably be better off with the high outpu... | |

| can we still sort by zip code in items for sale? typing in the zip code in the search box does nothing. | |
| What is "low ball" Many prices listed by Sellers on Gon are absurdly high, for used stuff - especially cartridges or tubes "with only 200 hours" on them - with no warranty or realistic return option, and considerable legal risk. You see the same things which haven't... | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output Glad I could contribute. My Statement Reference is the original type; no experience with the revised version. | |
| What is "low ball" "no low ballers" merely suggests that the Seller lacks negotiating skills. Believe it or not, there are people here who think you should pay 80% of retail for used gear with no manufacturer's warranty, then whine about lowballers if they get a mor... | |
| How do I install my cartridge? vewy, vewy carefully. No screwdriver? To really do it right, you also need an alignment gauge, a cartridge scale, and a Fozgometer. That is almost $450 worth of stuff, although someone with lots of experience may be able to do it with less. The ba... |
