| Traveling never going to happen??? need advice Highly doubtful as many have said. Consider that at 3000 miles round trip with a vehicle that would get 20 MPG (you're not picking these up with a Prius, are you?) you would use 150 gallons of gas. Assuming gas costs an average of $2.25 a gallon y... | |
| Fozgometer I bought a demo Fozgometer a while back and it didn't work when I got it. I contacted the importer and they said some units have an issue with the meter connections shorting out on the aluminum box ( a little too tight a fit). Sure enough that was... | |
| Which Caig? I believe the ProGold products are intended for gold connectors, but I don't know if they are truly different or just marketing. Probably no harm in using them on different connector types. For cleaning XLRs I use pipe cleaners, not sure how hard ... | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII The D240 should have enough power unless you play very loud or have a large room. Having said that I don't think a lack of power would cause the system to sound dull, if I understand what you mean by dull. I take dull to mean lacking high frequenc... | |
| Beware How I was ripped off Schipo, I sure am certain, here's what PayPal told me ...."We have decided in your favor, however, we were unable to recover any fundsfrom the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recoveryof funds associated with a Buyer Compl... | |
| Should I repair my amp? I would suggest checking out the ads that offer to buy non-working items. It would give you an idea of what your "doorstop" is worth as is. Highly doubtful it is worth $0 given its pedigree, may be worth only a few hundred, but add that figure to ... | |
| Beware How I was ripped off Truly sad, but don't assume PayPal will cover you. I got ripped off by someone a few years back and used PayPal. When I contacted them they said the payee had already removed the money from the account so they couldn't do anything. I don't know if... | |
| Music Direct Clearance: Focal, Epos With respect to MD's return policy, search here for a thread on "This might just be the end of brick and mortar". Lots of discussion on their return policy. | |
| PS AUDIO PERFECT WAVE MKII I second Ricred1's comments. I was using an Audio Research LS-25 with the PWD Mk II, it definitely sounded better that way. Now with the DirectStream it's more of a toss up. For me the big difference was the PWD had a rather high output requiring ... | |
| need wadia 170i transport help The 170i is intended to be connected to a DAC. It does have the option of sending an analog signal to a preamp, similar to the analog output of a CD player. The 170i in the analog mode offers no distinct advantage over using an interconnect from t... | |
| What is the best way to sell B&W speakers? As a point of interest I recently listed an unusual item which I didn't know the demand for nor the appropriate selling price. As such I tried an auction and did not get the results I wanted (didn't meet reserve which was quite fair). So I chose t... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Taters, I disagree with your statement "That basically means you have 60 days to return product, no questions asked". From the Music Direct 60 day return policy, it states "We'll require an explanation for the return (defective, damaged, etc). " T... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar This won't end brick and mortar stores, but it might be another nail in the coffin (still need a few more to make sure it is sealed). This policy is essentially a retailer "warranty", i.e., if the item was damaged in shipment or defective. I don't... | |
| Why are Wadia amps being discounted? I'm confused on this too. I've been watching Music Direct advertise these for many months (maybe a year or more?) thinking it was a close out but the supply is still there. I was under the distinct impression that the 151 was discontinued a while ... | |
| Hi Fi House liquidation I was surprised at the low quality stuff in the first part of the listing, definitely not typical Audiogon gear. As I read further I started seeing some quality interconnects, but the starting bids appeared close to (maybe above) typical retail fo... |
