| Dedicated Line Advise lowrider57; moving hot leads from one phase to another in the panel takes no time at all for an electrician.Adding a new box takes a little more work. But what you described is really not complicated. You could actually do this yourself if you ... | |
| Am I too cynical? I know we have said this many times before but, it really does pay to audition equipment in your own home first. Many people can't do that, so the next best thing are friends or auditioning in stores. Some still can't go that either. Buying wit... | |
| AC Line Problems you know, one test of getting old is typing a response post, actually reading it before posting, then posting it, only to discover spelling errors that you completely missed. Sigh! | |
| AC Line Problems If you are having voltage sag problems on you line, you should notify your electric utility at once in writing. mention the problem and state clearly that you believe that this is a safety issue. That buzz word "safety" triggers the utility to c... | |
| Pioneer DV-09 plays DVD's not CD's help I would contact Pioneer to see if they have a service center nearby. They can fix this unit.It is a great unit. Built like a tank and a very good transport. hard to beat. Same for the BDP09 unit and the 79AVI. They make very nice transports. T... | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell I hear you Schubert. But, if someone did offer one million in cash for the Sony PS-X7, I bet you a lunch that you would sell it in a heartbeat.One never knows, do one? enjoy | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? This is funny to read.Go to any high end auto auction. The announcer may try to start the bidding of at a particular price, but a seller will always come in with a stupidly low initial offer. Always happen. Then the bidding really starts.That i... | |
| I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid From the Los Angeles area and I remember just about all of the stores mentioned above from LA. wow! all gone.Christopher Hansen also.I started out thinking that Yamaha was the best with KEF speakers.Most of the high end stores ran into the same ... | |
| Dedicated Line Advise One thing that I like about Audiogon is that one can have good discussions with others here without having to worry about trolls and negative discord. I disagree with the idea that the power feed must come from the same leg on the power panel and... | |
| Dedicated Line Advise Not trying to start any argument here, but there is absolutely no reason for the equipment to be on the same phase at all. The AC is converted to DC within the device, so AC voltage phasing is irrelevant. As long as the dedicated line have hot, n... | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? You don't have to respond, and if you decide to respond, just say thank you, no. No explanation required.An item, any item (car, watch, art, audio equipment, camera, etc.) is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay. Regardless of what you fe... | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell No such thing as never. if someone came with a suitcase full of cash, say one million dollars, or if you want to be really ridiculous, twenty million dollars, every piece of equipment I own would be gone immediately.I restored a 1970 Plymouth Bar... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? Just my opinion, but I feel that the tone of the complaints here are really unfair and unfounded. AR is a company just like any other. They consider themselves to be a "high end" audio company and therefore, they probably realized that the other... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? What difference does it make to you? Does it take away from what the person (may not be an English speaker) have to say? Sometimes, one simply wants to get their point on paper and post it, and forget (myself included) to spell check. Who cares?... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? First and foremost for me, the music has to sound like music. Set aside for a moment that I have absolutely no idea what the actual recording process was or what the recording engineer heard, instruments must sound like instruments that I am fam... |
