| Change needed at Audiogon This thread will soon drop off the "New Today" page. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughtful replies. I believe that a few of the readers didn't quite "get" my first sentence regarding NON-MEMBERS & HOTMAIL. That is my complaint. T... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Angela,I respect your position. Perhaps I should have done a search before posting this thread. In any event, it's hearing peoples opinions that help me wade through the many variables. I don't agree with your characterization that Audiogon is not... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Glen,I really don't have a problem with Hotmail, it's just that a non-member is totally invisible when using it. Nearly 100% of such inquiries are beyond lame in my limited experience. | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Sean,You're right about not needing double monikers. I apologize for not thinking that one through. And no, I don't think anyone misunderstood your comments previously. I sure didn't.Joman,I may have to take you up on your offer. As I recall, I ha... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Marakanetz,I don't have an ebay account. These cretins simply email me through an ad. I appreciate the securtity features here which protect my email address. | |
| Change needed at Audiogon My major complaint is that non-registered users can email directly through Audiogon routers. It seems the least Audiogon could do would be to provide a prompt to such people to register prior to the email being forwarded. And what information do y... | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? Zaikesman,I applaud your common sense approach for comparative listening. It seems that perhaps we have a little bit of processing going on. My conclusion is, regardless of source material, that recording, engineering and mixing are the key elemen... | |
| bad experiences buying on line You are entitled to be more than annoyed. I agree with Driver...call the fellow and demand your equipment or a refund. I would be careful to document everything and agree that contacting Audiogon would be prudent at this point. Good luck | |
| Any louspeakers that has a transferable warrantee? Ake,You worry too much about things breaking. Honest. Consider the automobile. Look what kind of shake, rattle and roll occurs in the life of a car and most of the stuff still functions fine up until it gets too costly to replace major components ... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? Angela,Actually, I dictate to the cat and he does the typing for me.Patrick | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? Two cats, Paco and Lugnut. Often they both will be on either side of me on the back of the couch when I listen. Lugnut KNOWS when the record is finished because when the stylus is in the lead-out groove he will put his nose on my neck to inform me... | |
| How long do the electronics last before a service? Ake,A lot of this depends on how anal you are with the equipment. Keep the original boxes for moving from house to house and USE the boxes. Buy quality components and use the switches, dials, buttons, etc. as meant to be used. Don't be heavy hande... | |
| How long do the speakers last before a service? First, if the used speakers were driven by adequate amplification they should sound better than new since they are already broken in. Second, if you buy used speakers make sure your amplification is adequate since underpowering speakers will quick... | |
| Majik/Genki vs Classik I'd spend a few more bucks and get separates....unless this is a second system and space is a big consideration. The Classik can sound very nice with the correct speakers though.Happy listening,Patrick | |
| Best Acoustically Untreated Room You Have Heard? My home, which was built in the mid 50's, has really surprised me. I have a dedicated listening room that measures 14' x 23'-6" with an 8'-6" ceiling. There is a six foot opening into the rest of the home. The speakers are placed along the long wa... |
