| Retail Buying - Reality Check Just wanted to reemphasize something ed_sawyer mentioned. If more and more people only buy used, what would happen to the hi-fi? Many retailers would go under and many hi-end companies too. That would mean less new equipment and less used equipmen... | |

| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? I agree with Herman. While I typically offer about 90%, I don't think an 80% offer is deserves that type of response. A simple "your offer is to low would have been sufficient." Often with low ball offers I just send back a counter offer and to my... | |
| plasma versus lcd Wow lots of questions, but still no answer. So since we are on this topic anyone have any opinions of the new Samsung DLP rear projections? I mean a 50 inch rear projection that weighs less than 100 lbs is only 16 inches deep, and doesn't suffer t... | |
| Monitor speakers pros/cons Jameswei summed up things pretty well. However, I think once you get into $5K-10K full range speakers, many image very well.One question for you. Are you sure about room size? A 600 sq ft room is pretty large. A room that is 30 x 20 is 600 sq feet... | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? I have tried it. I have blind tested myself with CD players, amps, cables, etc. Sometimes I could hear a difference sometimes I couldn't. Like you said when hearing it at a dealer, things sound different. It could be the room, the gear, etc. So ho... | |

| TRELJA in New York, 2002 A comment on the Sony SACD demo, I too was underwhelmed by this presentation. They played a Stones demo that sounded terrible and I did not like the Diana Krall Multi-channel mix. However, I have to say Sony did a nice job last year with the SACD ... | |
| Talon Khorus x or B&W 802 Well I owned a pair of N805's. Currently own a pair of N803's and I am considering a pair of N802's. I haven't posted anything simply because I haven't heard the Khorus. The only Talon speaker I heard was the pair at the Stereophile show in 2001. ... | |
| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? Will,I just agreed with you on another post and now I have to disagree somewhat. First you are absolutely right in used gear from private owners there is no try before you buy. If you want that, pay retail. Assuming the buyer is truthful in the pr... | |

| Is this the normal way business is handled? Is he obligated to sell to you? IMHO, it depends. Since this is unclear in your post, did he agree to your offer and were terms of the sale set? If they were not, I don't think he is obligated to you just because you were the first person to make ... | |
