| Tuner Recommendation for New York City Harumph, I used the MD Silver Ribbon antenna with a 20+ year old Yamaha T-550 tuner (bought right here on Audiogon for the whopping price of $20) for about a year while on the first floor of a building in the West Village and then gave up. Since I... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? If you're looking for a catalog of some great bluegrass stuff, Rebel Records of Virginia has a nice one online. Have a look here.http://www.countysales.com/php-bin/categories.php?PHPSESSID=d70246790d97fb8c4ae3c9f1b6dc7ff4&category_id=1I've see... | |
| pre-amp and amp for 1K Far as I know, HT processor loops come in one of two varieties. One is just a simple wire when engaged, which is to say that it bypasses the guts of the preamp entirely and just flows straight on to the main amp. The second loops the feed through ... | |
| Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO? Have to admit, when first coming to New York I expected there to be choices for great radio stations. To my dismay, there is absolutely nothing that I consider worth while, save for NPR and one jazz station. The remainder, as Mr. Porter so aptly a... | |
| Where R U????? Tireguy -- not yet for TFTA. I just managed to hook a friend of mine on the idea of investing in a fairly nice system (likely some relatively high end monitors and an integrated, for starters) and should be doing the rounds here in the city this w... | |
| Where R U????? New York City -- right around the corner from Sound by Singer (the spot everyone loves to hate, though some skip the love) and not too far up the way from Stereo Exchange. Dangerously close.... | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem I love it. While we're telling college stories about outing our dumbfounding skills with sodering irons, I "inherited" a hand-me-down pair of speakers senior year only to discover that the foam on the woofers was completely destroyed. So, I figure... | |
| Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors??? Well, I'm sold. Sounds like time to take a trip up to Westchester.... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Ha! Rcprince, I cannot in good faith deny the wisdom of your words -- on all counts. Though, I have to admit, I can still only imagine approaching a system that clocks in around the digits posted by many of the audiogon illuminati around these par... | |
| pre-amp and amp for 1K I was about to recomend the Rogue myself (and am personally longing for a 99 Magnum to replace my VTL preamp). Trick is, admittedly, the Rogues do not come stock with a HT processor loop (though I think they have a tape loop that could serve essen... | |
| Simple, one-box solutions for HT-- Recomendations? Thanks all. For the sake of finality, I went with the Sony. Better yet, the folks genuinely love it. Mom's gone hog wild on a genuine DVD binge, proclaiming at every turn that "it's better than the movies." Right choice or no, it's certainly done ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? 29 year old litigator in one of those big old NYC lawfirms. The upgrade bug is riding me hard, but so far I have limited myself to about 13k retail (with about 11k in 2 channel and 2k in HT) for a fair bit less than that actually spent. It looks a... | |
| Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors??? Just for the sake of adding to the din regarding the NYC standard haunts, as well as possibly demonstrating that it can all depend on the luck of the draw when you walk in the door, I've had wonderful experiences at Innovative; fair to good experi... | |
| pre-amp and amp for 1K As mentioned above, it's relatively easy to do assuming you've got preouts for the main channels on the receiver and get a preamp or integrated amp with a processor loop. (However, I don't think that it's necessary -- or necessarily recomended? --... | |
| wanna know my right All told, sounds like fine advice. If it was an honest mistake (which it sounds like it might have been, after all, they tried and even looked into upgrading it for you), I'd take the refund and move on. If it wasn't, it's fraud. In the latter cas... |
