| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? @hgeifman “This info will enable Audiogon to determine what is wrong and to fix it.” With so many posting here about their connection, refresh speed, and pop-up troubles, it is hard to believe that Audiogon doesn’t already know what is wrong. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock - No, I have not received the Mystique Z DAC yet, but I am not surprised by the AI verbiage you mentioned. I looked up Google’s AI, which indicated: "The Texas Instruments (originally Burr-Brown) PCM58 is a vintage 18-bit R-2R ladder ... | |
| Aerial model 5 woofer replacement I second the recommendation from @hk_fan. I spoke with Michael Kelly within the past year and, while they did move locations, the business is still operational. Michael is one of the good guys I have purchased from and very helpful to his custom... | |
| Shipping on pallets As mentioned, purchase the packing materials so you can strap the speakers, amps, or whatever to a pallet yourself. Find a business that accumulates excess pallets and will give you one, or simply buy a pallet. If you don't have access to a for... | |
| Where were you when you first heard ""Born To Run"? Grand Rapids, MI. A good friend who was a year ahead and in college pulled up in his car, held up the album, and said, “you gotta hear these guys!” I was attracted to the hard hitting, no BS, upbeat sound of the band, The Big Man’s” horn, and th... | |

| "What a relief!!!" “Seems that something was always missing, until about 4 years ago, when I put together a system that ended up becoming so very much satisfying and compelling to me” Good that you are enjoying your system so much now. Can you share with us what... | |
| Building Speaker Cables "BTW, some cable builders cover the connection with an anti-corrosion compound or goop (before applying the heat shrink) to further retard corrosion." Q-Dope (link) is the stuff I was trying to remember the other day when I posted the above. A... | |
| Wasted Years. Started upgrading my system shortly after I started on Audiogon (coincidence?). Over 25 years later now, I sometimes sit back and ask myself, "what rainbow are you still chasing?" The vast variety of new music available through the addition of d... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. "Congrats and I feel ya. The current state of the country has stolen most of my joy." I am surprised that A’gon would ad lib the above in a message intended to alert the OP that their post had been removed. So many have taken to whining, compl... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? The slow load and refresh seemed to be a real thing associated with this site because I did not notice it happening on the other sites that I visit. However, the site seems to be operating a bit faster today, at least for me, so maybe whatever wa... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Yes, very slow to reload pages for days now compared to other websites. Made me try restarting my entire digital chain but same result. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @fuzzbutt17 - Very good explanation of you input choices for the new Mystique Z DAC and, like your other customers, I never heard a difference between the RCA/BNC input and the XLR input on any of your DACs that I have owned. | |
| Building Speaker Cables I have made many cables with both the FP-201 spades that use set screws, and the FP-203 spades that can be crimped, as well as with spades that need to be soldered such as Cardas GRS and CGMS spades. With the FP-203 spades I have used hand crimpe... | |
| Maybe someone can enlighten me. "So what was my infraction?" Choose all that apply. When finished, self-flagellate with a birch branch until you are rehabilitated. |
