| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Nrchy, this is a sad commentary on the American state of mind. I believe that in every culture there is a central image in almost every person's mind creating a commonality of perspective and interests. In the case of the USA it appears to be cowb... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Vandersteen Fives. JM Labs Utopia. Very intriguing, 3A De Capo. | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Obviously, you engrave it, you've destroyed it, pure and simple. | |
| Which Of These Three Amp Stands ? Sound differences? How would those be achieved? If you really believe that the amp stand will make an audible difference then you should decide by auditioning them like any other component. Good luck, and make sure your imagination is cranked up t... | |
| Top Audio Designers Of All Time? Has anyone mentioned Roy Allison? | |
| Vadnerseen 5A crossover outside If I could afford a pair of Five As I would not bat an eyelash at the x-over boxes. You kind of remind me of a lawyer who once worked with me years ago, (we were both young back then), after lunch we went over to a magazine shop and while he was l... | |
| Newbie, looking for giant killer front end Rega P9 if you can forget the VTA stuff. Comes with a great arm that you know is properly installed. Add a good cart, install it on a well levelled wall shelf and forget all the twiddling. Has all the finesse and punch you will ever need. If you w... | |
| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? Avideo: quite right, but make sure you get a deal on any real production Cadillac product because I am sure the resale value is probably not the best. Cadillac still can't get that change of image right: the multi-faceted body design, supposedly r... | |

| High End Myth Glossary. Ultraviolet, you can actually hear furniture? No kidding? Life must be tough for you. I sympathize. I can hear large appliances, but I still need training in listening to furniture. I presume you also perceive light in the ultraviolet range. Where... | |
| Buying and Selling of feedback Who are you addressing this to? In my case, I have to wait to see what the dealer who will proceed with repairs after Christmas will tell me and, more to the point, what the cost of repairs will be. The other thing I have to look at is the ins and... | |
| Buying and Selling of feedback Bobgates: touché! I am living a situation like this right now. To add insult to injury, I am being threatened with some kind of legal action if I dare tell it like it is. The whole Feedback thing is well nigh useless for the reasons you indicate.... | |
| High End Myth Glossary. Did not see this post of yours earlier Marak. I agree with you totally. I like the "auditioning audio furniture" entry. Someone figured out a number of years ago that if folks could be sold on the superior sound of cables and wires in the thousand... |
