| 2024 Form 1099-K IRS tax reporting threshold on PayPal? Don't make this political. BTW, it was placed into effect well before the recent election. This is simply more paperwork for us. Keep records on what you pay for stuff (maybe copy the for-sale ad and write your paid amount and method of payment... | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre I may be out of line here, especially never having owned ATC speakers, but isn’t one of the main draws and benefits of owning ATC speakers having the on-board amplification? Dedicated amplifiers that are matched to each driver seems to be an adva... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? It probably says something about me that most of my audio gear consists of black boxes that just sit there and perceptively do nothing. The two most exciting features are headlessly managing the server/Roon and changing the volume with a remote. | |
| Starting my showroom again Unless you are looking for a hobby/job to close out your career, I would not envision owning a B&M HiFi shop as being a lucrative business venture, and particularly in a smaller community within 30 miles of a larger community where there are a... | |
| How to PM someone @asvjerry - I wondered whether the issue @soix is having may be related to the credit card thing and/or A’gon’s two-factor authentication. I didn’t think I had a CC on file with A’gon until last week when I purchased something from this site (fir... | |
| How to PM someone What @ozzy62 posted works for the names of people who respond to a post, but not the OP. You can also go to Audiogon (not the forums), then drop down on "Explore" and click "Member Look-up", and then if you enter a member’s user name and "Search"... | |
| Holy cow: Ringo produced by T Bone Burnett! @bdp24 - Thanks for the heads up. I am always a fan of Ringo's collaborations. Interesting to see Larkin Poe show up for one number. Should be fun. | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions Hi Erik, I am curious about your single capacitor solution. If I bi-wire my speaker connections, can I wire a single capacitor in line with the LF speaker wires to limit the low frequency signal going to the woofers? How exactly would you wire ... | |
| My high pass filter experiment and a couple of questions I believe the effectiveness of using a high-pass filter depends on the main speakers, the amplification, and the quality of the high-pass filter. If you are using good subwoofers (at least two) then a high-pass filter should theoretically improve ... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? No more than about 5 percent. My experience is that money is typically better spent on the actual components and speakers than on cables and tweaks. YMMV. BTW, @noromance - What are "NOS Belkin interconnects"? Are they made with a certain type of... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @dantaudio - Thanks for the kind words, and welcome back to audio. If you are looking for information, there is a lot of knowledge here on this site and you can get meaningful responses from the members on just about any topic. The forum archi... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps FWIW, pmy monoblocks have no power switch at all, if they are plugged in then they are powered on. My SMc DAC has the magnetic switch. For my preamp, I believe there is a power switch on the outboard power supply. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Agree, fair enough. I am sorry your experience wasn’t great. If you ever have the opportunity, I suggest trying to hear one of their newer amplifier creations. Unfortunately, they don’t have a dealer network and don’t typically display at shows ... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fishagedone "If it’s so great, go buy it Mitch and post pictures of the amazing chassis and value." I did just that. Beat out a pair of Lamm M1.2 Reference monoblocks and a pair of Clayton M300 Class A monoblocks in my system, all of which I... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fishagedone The problem here is that you basically dropped a turd in the room and then insinuated the stink is somehow related to a company that many of us have had nothing but excellent interactions with over many years. It only gets worse whe... |
