| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan "The later Dylan specifically Modern Times is so much better than most of the early stuff."I agree its really good and I've been enjoying it more than the older stuff in recent years, but hard to compare as apples/apples. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... " And while sound is paramount it's a company's support that keeps me coming back. "Customer support is the biggest differentiator between companies IMHO in that there are many that offer really good sound but not all offer equally effective custo... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Good imaging helps with musicality IMHO in that music is a 3 (actually 4 including time) dimensional phenomenon in nature and a large soundstage with good placement within along with "air" helps one sort through the music better, much like a large... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Arros are amazing for their size with the right amp and image as well as most anything I have heard when set up well.LEss familiar with Sttaf. They might be just as good or better in the right application I suspect. | |

"Well put. I agree 100%. Technology and user habits move on but the music that has always been the dr... | |

| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? More expensive cars are bigger and have more stuff in them. . The bigger and more stuff in anything, the more there is to break. And cost more to fix as well. Its all part of the club. | |
| similar speakers Audiogon is great for what it is, a place to sell and buy and discuss "high end" audio gear. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it, though there are so many ways the site can be made better over time. That does cost money to do it right though. ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? The GLOW also has the cool glowing color ring around the volume that changes color. :^)My app would be as a headphone amp for both STAX and conventional phones and to perhaps try with my Triangle Titus XS speakers in my wife's sunroom, where small... | |
| similar speakers It would be nice if audiogon could provide ANY useful information or metrics other than blue book equipment prices (worthwhile to buy when one is considering dropping big bucks on anything here)that might help people navigate through all the noise... | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Have not heard it yet but this one has my eye from what I read and having been familiar with the band and work specifically for many years.http://www.amazon.com/The-Snow-Goose-Camel/dp/B00FKVUE50/ref=pd_sim_sbs_m_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0C28YY4M1QMVR... | |
