| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables I felt I had to post this article in light of another recent thread about Monster (tm) and how they have been trying to sue just about anybody they can for using the monster name. Personally I feel they do about as much for hifi as the likes of Bo... | |
| Is this the normal way business is handled? Ljgj, how will the use of a credit card help to provide leverage if there is a problem? Thanks. | |
| Addicted to Audiogon? Good one tirechick, I mean tireguy. (Sorry Bill, couldn't help it) BTW Tireguy, you were joking about the pornstar thing,.. weren't you?Addicted? Try finishing a thesis with Audiogon idling in the background all day long - I never realized I had s... | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please Linn LK sized components. They are minimalist prefection - when stacked on my self made semi-invisible rack they look like one of Donald Judd's untitled sculptures.http://virtuell.kunstmuseumbasel.ch/apps/WebObjects/KMBSiteVirtuell.woa/42/wo/Spbh4... | |
| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? Be sure to ask questions and make sure the seller is legit before you send funds. Get serial #'s and verify them with the manufacturer.I was inquiring about an 'as new sealed' item that just didn't sound right. I asked for the serial # and for inf... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Maggies are an astonishing speaker but there is something about electrostats that....okay, perhaps I should practice what I preach and get used to them before I say they aren't my cup of tea. When I heard them I was truly amazed and they were on m... | |
| Break in period for Audio Physic Virgo 3? Buckingham, good point. You may want to add that the procedure makes the speakers almost silent, even when playing at moderate volumes. I know you obviously know this but others might not - I explained it to my girlfriend and I had to show her bef... | |
| Audioweb/ What a bear The only reason I ever go to Audioweb is to check prices of old listings. They have archives going several years back that gives an idea of price histories. The problem is that many are repeat ads for unsold items, so they can soon become meaningl... | |
| right integrated for my system? A YBA integre if you want a good deal of power, a Linn majik if you don't want to disturb the neighbours. | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please Hovland's tube amplifier (with the glass columns and machined rectilinear plinth) is a striking minimal sculpture. The fact that plays music, apparently pretty well(I've never actually heard it), makes it all the more appealing. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? The Keilidhs were 1500$ USD. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? My Keilidhs sound better with my TT than my CDP - though I do mostly listen to CD's. I listen to a lot of small scale chamber music, jazz, tango, folk, orchestral, as well as electronica, wall-of-sound rock like Radiohead and Pulp, and occasionall... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Kalan, the two Joseph RM22si and the RM25si floorstanders sell for 2500 and 3500 respectively. That is roughly 4x the price of a used pair of Keilidhs, which can be got for between 700 - 900$. Yes, I meant 25% of, not off of, the price of the Jose... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? It's hard to imagine a massive railroad engine on a 4 foot-something track, but it's true. (Brings to mind the image of Homer riding the tricycle in order to save his hide from the mobsters.) I had to measure some nearbye tracks for a site plan an... | |
| LINN Kaber tweeter upgrade Hi Rick, I have Keilidhs and a pair of self-made Kabers both with the 3-bar ceramic dome tweeter. (I made the kabers from parts that were leftover from other's upgrades using MDF - they look a bit like the audio physic Tempo3's) I have heard the N... |
