| High End is Dead? We can’t lay blame on those darn kids today who’ve grown up listening to music on their phones/tablets/Bluetooth speakers/Alexa because their reference points for “good equipment” are limited by those very things. My reference point was my family... | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? Just received the Peachtree Audio Deepblue3...This is quite different from the 2 - especially with regard to the mids and highs which weren’t bad to begin with. Like the 2 the only tone control is for increasing/decreasing bass output which I pref... | |
| Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy??? Never liked any of the speakers but I still have and enjoy listening to a Marantz 2250b receiver and a Pioneer SX-1050. The Marantz is hooked up to a small pair of Ushers, the Pioneer to a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels. The appeal for either is tha... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Wow. Yikes. Had feet in two different forums! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I just replaced what could best be described as a “vintage” Musical Fidelity A3.5 CD player with an Oppo 85 after reading many, many positive opinions on Oppo in general. I had previously perceived Oppo as “ mass market “ stuff, and while this i... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... A summavagun is simply a way to clean up “son-of-a-b***h” in order to maintain the cordial nature of this, or any other A’gon forum. There’s also a little bit of Walt Kelly in me. Mr. Kelly was an incredible, clever, intelligent artist who create... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Heardthat...i think your Mc integrated is definitely up to the task of providing sufficient power to enjoy the possibility of the Vandies, and it’s most definitely up to providing that and more with the higher efficiency Klipsch. For a brief time... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Actually, I just dropped into the website and it appears that the 3A Sigs are still being manufactured. $4795 the pair. Lots of upgrade paths for owners of all the models, too. I assumed that treating the Klipsch tweeter with dampening material m... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Heardthat...I had a pair of Vandy 2-somethings a pretty good while ago so I was relatively sure these would be at least as good. The Bluebook average is around $2200 and I paid $1500 for these - a good deal overall. They’re replacing my Maggie 1... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... If it weren’t for him and Nicks, Fleetwood Mac would never have become, well, the version of the band that made them all rich and famous. Love ‘em or loathe ‘em for that reason, but without them the fame and fortune that afforded them all career... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Wow - this is a difficult comparison!I just purchased a pair of Vandie 3A Sigs from a fellow member here a couple of weeks ago. While I have not heard the Cornwalls nor any other Klipsch model in quite some time, I have to assume that their desig... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? One of the things that eBay doesn’t offer is being able to research equipment’s pricing history - if there is a track record - as A’gon does. I use it for everything I buy. In doing so I’ve avoided purchases with sellers who are either asking wel... | |
| Magnepan Owners Like anything the mod requires a little time to have noticeable effects; my 1.7i’s were brand new when I opted for Mike’s kit so a true “comparison” test of something I was long accustomed to and the “new” is somewhat inapplicable. Although...I’v... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? Being labeled as or becoming an Audiogon “ cop” is something the community of members trading here need not feel insulted by. In fact, those of us with 100% positive feedback ought to, with civility and good intention, point out to the sellers in ... | |
| Which integrated? The A50T was “voiced” to emulate the sonics of vintage McIntosh tube gear. I had one a few years back myself. Excellent integrated. |
