New or used??? 5k CDs, eclectic variety - nicely done. Many of the good folks here on Audiogon are well healed hobbyists who build there systems by continuously trading one piece of equipment for another; there is nothing wrong with that but it can be a very exp... | |
New or used??? I second T_bone's advice and urge you to find some local audio enthusiasts who are willing to guide you. Please take no offense, but IMO the chances of anyone new to the high end walking into a high end salon by themselves and maximizing the retur... | |
New or used??? Jhkear,Your initial post suggested, to me at least, that a speaker purchase was just your starting off point and that appropriate supporting equipment would be forthcoming. If your entire budget hovers around $5000 then Jj2468 is absolutely correc... | |
New or used??? On second thought - In spite of the occasionally heated rhetoric, I've always thought of my fellow Audiogoners as family. In keeping with that sentiment in which I'm sure many of us share, I hereby call upon audiogon to post obituaries of it's dec... | |
New or used??? "Look for widows that are selling the husband's system."And just how in the world does one go about finding these outraged widows? Does one surreptitiously slither into a passing funeral procession, cozy up to the bereaved, rat him out and suggest... | |
New or used??? Hi Jhkear,I noticed that you didn't mention auditioning anything from JM Lab. IMHO that is an unfortunate omission. Used speakers from the Utopia and Electra lines are frequently available for a good price on Audiogon and it's a well established c... | |
Integrated tube amp with tuner? Hi Killwhat,Have you checked out "Mapleshade"? They sell some modified/reconditioned vintage tube receivers. | |
Has anyone heard FM Acoustics Thanks Detlof,I have friends who have sold pretty expensive gear in favor of modded Jolidas. I'm happy you mentioned Paravicinis designs because I've wanted to audition them for a while now. Also, don't let the SS crowd make light of your passion ... | |
Has anyone heard FM Acoustics "Compared with the real thing however, to these here ears you'll find more satisfying gear at very much less cost."Hi Detlof,Could you give us some examples? I'm just asking for you opinion because I like the way your post recognizes that some hig... | |
Class-D amps - a different re view "You just don't know the beauty of class D"Reminds me of something, hmm, what is it - oh yaa! I remember: "Luke, you just don't know the power of the dark side." | |
Totem response re: recommended tube amp for Sttaf Are we reenacting the "Prestige", which door(thread) are you behind? | |
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea? "Besides there is a Devel's Tower of a learning curve for me to climb around tubes and I'm really anxious to just sit down and listen without any anxiety (if you know what I mean)."I once felt exactly the same way and couldn't have been more wrong... | |
Abbingdon Music Research CD-77 impressions? Hi David,I seem to recall from earlier posts that you're in Chicago; where did you get the demo? Also, does this suggest some dissatisfaction with the Crimson? | |
Modified DCM TFE200's......World Reference Now If a tree falls on a school for the hearing impaired, does anyone get hurt?I have know idea what that means, it's just the thought that popped into my head while reading this thread - sorta like a Rorschach test - first thing, you know. | |
Why so expensive?? "Unfortunately I have yet to find any woman who doesn't find an interest in Audio, plain weird."I have yet to find a woman who doesn't find a man, who demonstrates his wealth of disposable income by spending a quarter mil on a stereo, more interes... |
