One's trash is someone else's treasure
In defense of Gemini:The worth of an item can only be measured in the hands of the person holding it. To the elderly gentleman, the TT was only worth the $100.00 he asked for it. He could have offered it to his elderly next door neighbor to whom i... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
JC51373,You are certainly entitled to your opinions and I think the reason many Mac users here are having a hard time with your observations is that they are exactly opposite of all other Mac users. I don't think I have ever heard anyone, either i... 
Have any of you done this
That's funny, I've been thinking the same thing myself. There's tons of days I'm here and not listening to my system. I think it's just a reflection of your/our love of the hobby and the equipment. It's part of the hobby. 
Search classifieds by condition?
Bdgregory,Works like a charm. Thanks! All this time here and I had no idea. Thanks again,Mike 
Search classifieds by condition?
I would love to be able to create a watch list similar to ebay . 
Can I ever stand to listen to our system again
Karel, You have my sincere condolences for your loss. Please remember that she will always live on in your heart, in your memories and whenever you do play music on the system you shared together. Godspeed,Mike. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Cars are certainly my next passion besides audio, I alternate between a 2006 Porsche C2S Cab, a 2006 BMW 750Li, a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo and a 2001 Jeep Cherokee. They are all fun cars to drive in their own right. Bio: Whart is correct, that M3 is... 
Thrift store finds. Yamaha ca-600 integrated amp
That was the first audio component I ever bought. It was in way back in 1978 or 1979. I still had it until last year when I came home from work and find out that my wife had thrown it away while cleaning out our basement (along with my Yamaha T-55... 
Has anyone had good experiences with trading?
Gunbei,You hit the nail on the head. It would be very educational to be able to do some "good clean swapping". Imagine being able to try 4, 5 or 6 different cd players in one's own system just by A'Goners swapping with each other, each giving the ... 
Has anyone had good experiences with trading?
I've often thought it would be a great idea if two A'goners traded their equipment with each other on a time basis, say 30 days. It would be a great way to try different pieces of gear in ones own system without any outlay except shipping charges ... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Mcrheist:As a father and a son, my thoughts and prayers go to each of yours on their journey. Mike. 
B&W N800 vs Piega C10 Limited
Hi all. This is a little off topic but this question is directed to all the B&W N800 owners: What would you consider to be the smallest room dimensions that the speakers would work in. My room is 14x19x8. Is that too small. Thanks all in advan... 
Does a McIntosh MX-132 have coaxial digital ?
Finsfan, In another thread, you asked if the MX132 had an HDMI hookup. In that thread you stated that you own a MX132. Now you're asking if it has a coaxial digital output. Here's a suggestion: Why don't you turn the thing around and take a look a... 
How much does your system retail for?
More than my wife would ever guess :) 
What sounds more musical than audionote equipment
Jaybo,From one 30 year plus hobbyist to another, that was very well said and perhaps sums up best just what draws us all here.Mike.
