| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Perspective Interesting that some of us Joseph Audio fans are also fans of Harbeth.Both brands have a "rightness" and believability in timbre and tone, yet at the same time have quite different "sound" or presentations.These two speakers are at the top of my ... | |
| 2020 quest for stereo amp with DAC for about 1000 USD Since you loved your old NAD, maybe the C368? My son has one and it seems solid and well thought-out. I haven't looked at the NAD stuff in a while but I just got rid of an old receiver that finally kicked the bucket ... bought in 1985. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. I thought everyone find's their way here from the Love of music. Music Lover's have a good heart. If only. This may be the most dispiriting thread I've seen out here. You've got to be a miserable, lonely person to ridicule a fellow audiophile and ... | |
| Alternatives to Brick and Mortar I've been thinking a lot about these issues since December, when my go-to store for over thirty-five years closed. Let me say that I completely understand those passionate folks who are "hobbyists," frequently buying/selling/trading equipment. For... | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. GREAT thread! We all have to adjust to our bodies and our aging, and this thread is filled not only with good advice but also with hope and determination. As the Grateful Dead sang, "the music never stopped." | |
| Should a stereo soundstage be 3D or 2D? If speakers aren't time aligned, do we get 4D? | |
| About Shipping Air Cargo These multiple posts advertising a company seem like spamming. Is this within the forum's policies? | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? I appreciate this thread very much. I've haunted stereo stores since around 1975, and I've certainly experienced my share of places that are unwelcoming. Luckily, I found a store owner in New Haven, CT, who was open and generous, I stuck with him ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thanks, all. With only a hint of a wink I told my internet-savvy, teenage son that I've got new friends, men whom I met on an internet forum, and they want to meet me. He rolled his eyes and said, "only on an audiophile forum could that not sound ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Sure! I don't have much of a sense of when it'll be, things being what they are... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thanks, Ron. That's a very helpful idea. Funds are always limited! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thank you, everyone. I've never been a "hobbyist" in the sense of going through multiple speakers, buying and selling used equipment, and for that reason I have almost always bought new speakers (or demos, sometimes) with the intention of keeping ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions You guys are great. Thank you! Yes, that "flexibility" and ability to "disappear" are very important to me. I'm not sure why I haven't looked more carefully at the TREO; I'm on that. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions I've heard *of* them but never heard them. It looks like there's a dealer in Buffalo, and that's probably too far to shuffle off to. But I have heard great things; I'll keep them in mind! | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time That's exactly what happened. It doesn't make any sense to me; the dealer was not in my state and the item isn't sold in my state. But--thanks for the explanation. |
