| Review: Sony SCD-1 Audiocom-UK upgrade Jadem/Richard, Excellent review overall, in particular your explanation for doing a relatively expensive upgrade on a highly engineered product. It doesn't sound as if the timbre and tone quality have quite met your expectations. In particular it ... | |
| Klipsch LaScalla "upgrade"? The La Scala can be "upgraded" by changing to one of the custom designed crossovers. I forget the guy's name who gets a lot of press for his design, check old threads or audio asylum's threads on the crossover under high efficiency speakers. Also ... | |
| Payment options for purchases Yes you'll get more buyers for the higher priced items. there are a lot of impulse buys from people who have some money in their pocket but not enough to meet the selling price. I would accept it, ask the credit card issuer about how to protect ag... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Most moving but terrible sonics from Van Morrison's live version of "Caravan" from its "Too Late to Stop Now" | |
| Best of Audiogon Members Trelja is informed and dedicated, simply one of our best! | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? Rushton may I be honored to say friend, There is a peculiar phenomena when it comes to the supply of old tubes. They come out of every nook and cranny when the demand goes up. That doesn't address the issue of a low impedance speaker with an OTL s... | |
| Power Up the System - What Do You Do? Now for something completely different. I buy some older/vintage equipment which should "be powered up with a variac slowly". Well the problem is I don't know where to find this particular piece of equipment which I can only assume is an variably ... | |
| Help choosing CD player and cables Best bang for your buck is the Music Hall CD-25. Its very clean and forward not the best soundstager but very dynamic with reasonably good detail, I like it better than the slow veiled sound of some mentioned like the Jolida which I also own and r... | |
| how did you find "the gon" Ultimately it was of course my wife that started me doing this. She couldn't tolerate the "looks" of my old speaker stack, actually they were not terrible 1977 Klipsch Heresies on top of 1959 JBL C38s I inherited. Then my so called 100 wpc amp kep... | |
| Difference between Amperex 6922 pinched waist tube My advice is only second hand from a pro tube dealer I use from England. I own the Siemens 6922 but not the CCa but even the standard West German one is perhaps the best of my growing collection, I just purchased a A "Marconi" = Mullard E88CC. A v... | |
| How about a "Remember This?" forum AudioGon? Like these for instance VINTAGE PAIR OF HITACHI SPEAKERS FLOOR STANDING 70S (sorry there was a picture) | |
| How about a "Remember This?" forum AudioGon? Its a good idea, its amazing how many pieces come back to haunt you. It might be best for comedic purposes only, no need to relive things that have stood the test of time. There are some large auction sites which have those "lost in audio hell" pi... | |
| How frequently do you check Audiogon listings? While not quite strung out like a lady of the evening on dope, methamphetamine or the free base of cocaine, I find myself checking listings at least once per day as part of my normal waking routine and then again in the evening. Its mostly vicario... | |
| Cary 306-200 Mod - My Impressions Hello-I am delighted that you are so impressed and happy with the mods. I hope to hear it soon. I am considering upgrading an older used CD player to a more recent version, but it was considered given the price I paid. The real question is can you... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth I liked the phenomenal dynamics and purity of the sonics so much, that it is truly a "show off" your system CD. The quality for an early 90's CD, is particulary outstanding. I thank Slipknot for introducing it to me. Most pleasantly surprising, a... |
