| Vinyl Outselling CD Fashion. Pure and simple. | |
| why don't they get it? Look, my wife and daughters find the Jaguar XK-E to be the ugliest car ever. I think it has to do with hormones! | |
| Lack of bass with SP-9 MK3 Hard to tell without knowing what the other parts of the system are. Look, if you got used to exaggerated bass you will get used to a more realistic presentation if you give it some time. I seriously doubt that changing tubes will give you the bas... | |
| lack of interest I can understand wanting a local sale for large speakers as I would be quite leery of shipping them. I think the price has to be somewhat lower and the seller should probably expect a longer wait for a sale to materialize. | |
| SACD anyone??? I always felt that Aaron Copland's "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo" were C&W and you have some choice on SACD. | |
| The sealed LP... what is the point? I think it points to the fact that, like it or not, an LP's surfaces start deteriorating the minute it is played, | |
| Digital Volume Control any good ? I am running a Linn Genki directly into an ARC VT-100 Mk. III and am quite sure that the volume control is digital and am happy with the sound. A preamp will be added later when something decent and well priced comes along. I think that most warni... | |

| ARC VT-100 mk1 or BAT VK-60? ARC all the way! If you have enough cash, get a Mk III. Even with the Mk I if you are not satisfied with it, you can sell it a decent price and not lose much on it, assuming, of course, you bought it at the right price yourself. | |
| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug In the area of belief and faith everyone is right. | |
| Regardless of how much you've spent... Well the "... regardless of how much you spent..." seems a bit naive to me, but I still find that equipment gets in the way of the music for the vast majority of 'philes. | |
| ARC REF2 5AR4 arcing on warmup I feel lucky that the one I recently bought has no such problem. From a tech here who has a lot of experience on ARC equipment: most of the time a problem with tube equipment can be traced back to a bad tube.I would bet your replacement tube is fa... | |
| Anyone listen to an Aesthetix Atlas amp yet? Wonder if it will be as trouble free as all the Calypsos and Rheas out there? | |
| Do you remember? John, all I'm saying is that there are obvious things that have to be done and covering all your costs and adding a margin for profit is obviously a basic requirement. What you seem to be saying is that the price of a product can never be too high... |
