| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... as with most things collectable, it usually comes down to finding that one buyer looking for what you are selling.It may have absolutely nothing at all to do with the price. Just a matter of timing and the right web site.If a potential buyer is l... | |
| New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23 sigh, spell check."it beats most"enjoy | |
| New Parasound A21 VS Mark Levinson #23 I agree that in my opinion the ML23 is a better amp. That said, If it were me I would get a ML23.5 instead. That amp is very, very nice. it has different input circuitry from the 23 and I've owned two and still have one. believe it was the las... | |
| My impression of Pass Lab XP-10 (with respect to Conrad Johnson 17LS) Yes, but some of us have multiple source devices and the Pre-amp also serves as a control unit for switching and volume control, balance, etc.enjoy | |
| Factory checkup just before selling... If you are concerned, simply ask the seller if the unit was repaired and what the repairs were. serviced is not the same as repaired. While this may not alter my opinion about purchasing, I would like to know.enjoy | |
| Vintage receivers??? That's good to know kosst_amojan.Thanks, | |
| Vintage receivers??? I have vintage Sansui QRX-5500 and Marantz 2252B that I went through, cleaned all the switches, pots, etc. and restored slightly. They both work and sound great, but I can tell you that the Sausui actually sounds slightly better than the Marantz.... | |
| Is there actually a difference? "sounds better" is very subjective. Totally depends on what one is listening for. If one doesn't really know what real symbols sound like (vs electronic generated), violins, pianos, vs electronic, then how would they know it is accurate?And just... | |
| SME V tone arm advice Well, you let me know when you are ready to off load that SME V arm.I finally understand why some people have two arms mounted to their turntables. enjoy | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. You have a REF 3 pre-amp and a 110 amp. All from Audio Research. I would investigate a used Ph6, Ph8, REF 2SE or 2 phono stage. They would match very well with your existing gear and sound great. The turntable, arm and cartridge on the other h... | |
| "The End of The Road" Tomic601; it's pretty hard to beat the Vandersteen 7s. Those speakers are pretty special I have to say. I'm trying very hard to never get to the end of the road. I'm pretty happy with my system, but one never knows do one? So, if the opportunit... | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time Most newer equipment has slow start circuitry that dramatically reduces the on/off cycling damage possibility for high current amps. So, that really isn't an issue anymore.Other than that, heat is the enemy. Running equipment 24/7 will reduce th... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? Hearing ability changes over time and not everyone hears music the same. If you take on of those detailed hearing examinations in an enclosed soundproof room you will see that your hearing has gaps.it is scary. This is a good reason why equalize... | |
| Best sounding transistors This is quite interesting to read. There are modern BJT transistors that fall within the specs of older transistors but are much more linear. MJ21193 and MJ21194 for example. but I agree with the earlier responder. The replacement transistors ... | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? The more technology there is, the more some people will take advantage of it to rip other's off.I understand some buyers wanting to use paypal. That is because paypal protects the buyer only. period.There are risks on both sides when sell equipm... |
