Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums.
     I just wanted to add that I think we're lucky to have industry insiders, like almarg and others, post on various subjects here on Audiogon.  I've found their contributions, based on years of experience and accumulated knowledge, to be very va...

     We live in a country that's the poster child for free enterprise, freedom of speech and mildly restricted capitalism.  We're bombarded almost from birth with thousands of advertisements on a daily basis for every product under the sun on ever... 
Some Thoughts on Axpona 2019--from an Axpona Newbie
     I bought 2 tickets and was planning on attending Sunday. We drove up from Indy to Shaumburg and celebrated my mom's 90th birthday Saturday afternoon, which was great.      We stayed at the AXPONA hotel Saturday night, ate breakfast and I was ...

Hello Elizabeth,     Have you been reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy? If not, I think you'd enjoy it.  Excellent stuff.   I was wondering why all the cuttlefish in my neighborhood have been acting so cocky but your confession ex... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hello rauliruegas,     "The information in the recording R2R (part of the overall recording process) comes in stereo way including bass range and is only when starting the LP cutting process when the low bass switched to mono due the severe limita...

Hello hornguys/Jim,     My mistake, I had open-heart surgery in 2008 and had a stroke immediately after.  I'm much better now but my memory may have been damaged more than I realized.  Given your info, I must have bought one of your initial print ...

    My general rule is not to join any club or blog that would accept me as a member.  Somebody needs to be responsible for keeping the riff-raff out, right?     Audiogon's been my lone exception for many years now and I'm just constantly amazed t... 
3 channel amp for H/T
jcfiver,          The Monoprice Monolith 3 class AB amp, that mzkmxcv suggested, seems like a good option for you.  I believe this amp will provide a warm sound quality and a class D amp will provide a more neutral/accurate sound quality with a bi... 
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
geoffkait: "It was proven in a blind test."     Nice try, geoffkait, but everybody knows you can't judge light quality if you're blind.  Duh!Tim

brucenitroxpro:"If you have to ask the question, you are NOT a real audiophile! Besides, I’m still admiring the velvet gloves and high heels of the wife of noble100!"    It really is quite a spectacular site. She's always had a fantastic body but ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hello rauliruegas,     The bass will be mono because there's no such thing as true stereo bass below about 80 Hz and there are virtually no vinyl or cd recordings that have separate bass recorded for the L/R channels.  The recording engineers sum ... 
3 channel amp for H/T
jcfiver,     If you're looking for the best value amp (best performance for the price),  I'd suggest looking for a class D 3-ch amp.  They generally have high power, very low distortion levels, very clear and accurate sound quality and good dynami... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hello gormdane,     I generally agree with your statement that "most full-range speakers can benefit from adding a subwoofer (ideally two - one each for the L/R channels).  You will definitely get increased bottom end, greater ambiance, and improv... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
dave_b:" No such thing as perfect bass response...varies by venue!  So, that being the case, one can relax and get 1 or 2 subs for their system and play around until your happy with the sound.  Doesn’t need to be over engineered or killed with ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
jazz99Hi Paul, I was just wondering if we hijacked your thread. We haven’t heard from you for awhile now. On your last post on 3/1/19 you stated: "I suppose one has to make a decision at some point, so will try to decide (after auditioning) betwee...
