| Room size and floor standing speakers I have heard several JM Labs speakers and was pleasantly surprised. They will offer much more speaker for the money...Oo. | |
| How much is the industry accomodation It depends on the piece of equipment, company, and many other issues. No one has the same cost, or mark up...I have purchased several things at the 'industry accomodation, and some were quite a bit less than your 50% discount. I think reviewers ge... | |
| Room size and floor standing speakers Mariasplunge, you're gonna buy what you want, and I know the marketing machine for B&W speakers is a steamroller, but there are lots of better speakers for the money. I have heard more than my fair share of their speakers and have never heard ... | |
| Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon..... I post on AudiogoN because it's too cold to ride my motorcycle. Once it warms up, I will be on the road, or hopefully on the bike... I have been a lot less involved here the last couple of years. It just gets so old to argue with people who know v... | |

| Upgrading my Basis 2500. Vacuum or no Vacuum? I don't have a Basis table but I have had two vacuum TTs and I would not want to go back to a table without the vacuum, unless I found a truly great table that did not offer the option. The biggest differences I noticed were in bass presentation a... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Modified Sony SCD 777es, but it falls FAR short of decent vinyl and cannot touch good/great vinyl. It is listenable, but the only time I reach for a CD is if someone else wants to hear it, or if I'm gonna be reading, or writing while listening...Oo. |
