| Ebay selling my missing amplifier I have no idea how high value packages are shipped? Wrong again @wesheadley I'm an executive at a medical device company. We ship large, very expensive devices across the US and around the world every day. Things get lost, damaged during shippi... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @audphile1 They’ll just have you eat fugu sushi prepared by a trainee. That's funny. Fugu restaurants are far less adventurous now because many of the fish are farmed and the liver is not poisonous. Takes all the fun out of it! | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier ,,,aftermarket power cords are Prohibited. Yet you are soliciting advice about aftermarket power cords. Expect a visit from the Japanese electronics police as soon as you plug one in😨 | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier @wesheadley It is extremely rare for FedEx or UPS to lose a shipment like this -- especially if was insured. @ghasley here’s the way it works. If you ship something and say have $1,000 insurance from Fedex and then they lose it, they pay o... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier The most likely reason they recommend staying with the supplied PC is liability. The system has been tested / certified with that PC, and no others. The only time I've heard a really noticeable improvement in power cables is adding a used 20 amp ... | |
| Ethernet cables @classicrockfan Thanks. I've had the DH Lab's in my system for quite a few months now and no regrets. | |
| Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. Not sure what your budget is but if I went to a one box solution I'd take a hard look at Hegel. Specs say they will drive speakers down to 2ohms. | |
| SOS! Suddenly have a high-end turntable, need to upgrade Amp + Speakers Someone mentioned Darlington - never heard of them before but from their website alone look very interesting and reasonably priced. | |
| SOS! Suddenly have a high-end turntable, need to upgrade Amp + Speakers Schiit isn’t a bad suggestion for everything. I have not heard their pre& but I did have the Skoll phono in my system for a while and it is surprisingly good for $400 and you can try Schiit at home for 2 weeks and return for a 5% restocking... | |
| SOS! Suddenly have a high-end turntable, need to upgrade Amp + Speakers I don’t have any suggestions on amp and speakers but you’ve got a very nice TT and Cart, and an entry level phono stage with limited gain options for a LOMC (although 60dB should be OK with the Hana). So in the future if budget allows, consider u... | |
| My experience with The Music Room Bought a T+A 3100, traded in 2 amps + some cash. Could not be happier. Got what I wanted, unloaded what I didn’t want without the hassle of dealing with buyers and shipping, treated fairly and professionally. Transaction could not have been easie... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I don’t think so. But this thread made me think back to the first high-end audio store I visited in the mid 80’s. I remember listening to a MacIntosh rig - separates- a - Linn TT, and I think some Cerwin Vegas (horns?) I think the Mac gear was $5... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? @rcm1203 😂 I respect your brutal honesty! | |
| What was the first CD with great drums?? First thing that popped into my mind was Keith Moon, Won’t Get Fooled Again @blackbag20 the Professor - genius, master of his craft, and gone too soon. Along with Gordon from The Hip, two great Canadian artists that I really wish were alive today... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier What a nightmare. The box is trashed, and who knows what kind of shape the amp is in. Curious what shipper you used? In my business and personal experience with FedEx and UPS, insurance just means they look a little harder for the lost item, th... |
