| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Although I have not heard cables that are $10,000, nor do I probably have a system or ears that could really hear the difference, my general experience in moving up the expensive ladder of audio gear is that most times, one is chasing a 10-15% dif... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @joeeuro, I don't mind the new format . . . I think it takes a little getting used to, but I sort of like the pictures with each product. Why don't you like it? | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @glupson, my Siamse cat that I had for 19 years through college and many years after was named Moto or motoman. Now that cat liked HEA! He'd sit on my lap whenever I put the stereo on and never messed with it. I also am into motorcycles -- I rid... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? @glupson, I take it all in stride. Lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. My stepson seemingly appreciates my HT setup, and definitely loved to hear some of my favorites, like Jimi Hendrix' Electric Ladyland, on my music system, so I re... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? This thread made me reflect on the generation gap. When I was in high school and college in the 1970's, music and audio was the focal point of a lot of social interaction. My friends and I spent countless hours listening to the latest albums by L... | |
| DSOTM on Vinyl DSOTM has been a "go to" test album since I listened to my first stereo system in 1974, so I have always been a little OCD about which version is "the best" I have the following on vinyl: original USA release and the original MoFi 1979 release (e... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? You don't say what your price range is, but I got a MSB Analog DAC with volume control and eliminated my preamp and the MSB is excellent. | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? In your price range, you may be able to find a REL Strata . . . They are excellent and great for a music system. I have one and am extremely pleased with how it works in my 2 channel system! | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 Hit me hard this morning too. His show is one of our regularly watched shows. They are timeless and entertaining. We actually visited places that Anthony had been to after seeing his show.Despite the outward appearances, he must have had some s... | |
| Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 I hung out with Anthony a few years ago when he came to Miami Beach. A truly nice guy, down to earth and humble. To have everything, yet not enough . . . RIP Anthony. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll see you in the next one, so don't be late! Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) | |
| Cassette Deck Repair Hate to say it, since I have a bunch of old cassettes from college, and a near new dual cassette deck, but junk it. With current technology, for background music or serious listening, streaming is the way, either from a server or a streaming serv... | |
| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease Seeing how many people have posted here, I wonder if there is any link between the volume at which one listens to music, or the frequencies that good audio might reproduce better than run of the mill equipment. That would truly be ironic -- higher... | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers @skiroe, people still listen to FM? Why? With Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, randomized playlists, etc., why would anyone want to buy an FM tuner and listen to FM? | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers @whiskeypirate, I have seen ads from a guy in Cyprus . . . don't know if its the same guy, but how many people from Cyprus advertise equipment on here? I always thought that it was weird, and, although all seemed legit, I wasn't interested in deal... |
