| What is the average dealer mark up? +1 rwisem. Car dealerships make money on service and trade ins. The profit margin on a new car is low. I would think in high end audio that they would need to have a 100% markup just to make overhead and have some bargaining power with the buyer. ... | |
| Audio discounts during Coronavirus Bunch of drama queens. Yes, there's lots of bargains. Just bought a chord qutest at a nice price. It's a buyers market and if you have the scratch, itch it. | |
| seeking recommendations for a preamp Any Conrad Johnson older tube pre. Fantastic sounding and built to last. Pv 10 or 11. Audio research pre as well though not as well built as the cj. | |
| Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other? Look at furman as well. I have one and with my class A amp it made a huge difference in background noise. The amp seamed louder at the same volume as before which means a lot of the RF was taken out. I’m a believer. You will be thrilled. | |
| Power Amplifiers 93’ krell ksa 100 . Just tremendous. Built to last 100 yrs. | |
| Vacuum tube ! And Warnings It’s hit or miss. Recently bought a nos Siemens 6922 off eBay. Got it and checked it out on my Hickok. Tested at 1500 which is really bad. It doesn’t sound bad after I compared it to a newer gold lion but I was disappointed. That tube was 100$. Tu... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Buy an accuphase integrated. The best integrated I’ve heard. IMO better than pass or Luxman. | |
| Stereo Receivers from the past... Sansui 1000a all tube receiver. Lush sound, plenty of power and great 60s style. Sound great streaming wdcb jazz every morning. Great way to start your day. | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Anything by the stooges, dire straights, Pink Floyd, the rolling stones( older stuff, nothing newer than tattoo you). The clash, big star, the police. Just a few that come to mind. | |
| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? Wdcb Chicago. | |
| Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one? But a used Rega Saturn cdp. You won’t be disappointed. Sorry for the loss. | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? You need a nos r2r tube dac like someone had already stated. It’ll give you a nice, airy, clear presentation. I’ve got a real old grant fidelity tube dac 11 and it still holds up. I’ve got my eyes on an audio mirror next. | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! It’s been going on for years. It’s so obvious. If it’s too good to be true, it’s a scam. | |
| dissapointed - new LS50w's vs old PioneerFS52's/Luxman R113 - so far Kef's not so great? The problem with kefs is that they’re kefs. Over rated and over hyped. I would go insane listening to them through the break in period. So much that I would have to sell them before they would get there. |
