The issue of lowballing... What does that mean?
Just pay the price or butt out? Why don't we hear from the Lowballers that don't agree with Highballers that seem to charge too much? Paying the price means that a RESPECTABLE offer has been made on an item. No reputable business's cater to bums t... 
The issue of lowballing... What does that mean?
Lowballers just want to be in the same league as people that can afford things, only they think they are above paying the price whether they have the funds or not. Just pay the price (reasonable or not) or just butt out. 1st time offenders should ... 
Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion
I'm using a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II Biwires 2M long. They soundas good as the SP4 Morrow Audio Biwires I had, and also the Kimber Kable 4,8,and 12TC single wires. I got them mint with the box for only 165.00. They also perform as well a... 
"Not paypal"
The only problem I've ever had with paypal is that their fees are too high. It's pretty safe as long as you aren't shipping overseas where customs staff can be ripoffs. 
the Q-Up
I had 2 of the AT6006 raisers and I liked them but I sold them and will now try the Q-UP. Glad to hear yours works well. 
one 12in sub or 2 8 inch subs
I'm using 2 M&K KX10 powered subs (one one each side) with Lipinski L707's and the sub and monitor sound as they are one speaker. I run the subs just to the outside of the monitors. You also have the option of 1,2, or no sub. 
Alvin Lee
I've heard the same thing. Not only did I get to meet and spend a little time with Alvin Lee back in the 70's I used to listen to his music on a daily basis for decades. It's the main reason I have a Linn TT. I have a lot of his music and love the... 
Looking for something better.
Linn Majik 140's for speakers. I just sold a Rega RP3 and thought I'd never miss the 2 Linn Sondek LP 12's I sold, but after a few months and only about a dozen albums, I got another Sondek LP 12. I used a Super Elys and a Linn Adikt with the Rega... 
Cables more hype than value?
Cables...good bad or indifferent.. cost to the buyer vs cost to the maker is just not justifiable. I don't care how much better one thinks the sound is or is not. If I'm wrong, just buy all Odins and enjoy them.. alone. 
Cables more hype than value?
Knghifi, mine are newer 2m that I usually only use for 2 subwoofers. The Linns will be connected to my sources for sure. I have an all tube system and liked the Nordosts, but their cost is not justified. Only their powercords make a difference. I ...

Cables more hype than value?
I just sold a set of Nordost Heimdalls and a set of Blue Heaven IC's. They sounded great in my system, and I was going to upgrade to Tyr, Valhallas, or Odins. Instead, I am waiting on Linn IC's since I've always had good luck with them. I have to ... 
Alvin Lee dead at 68
I had the pleasure of meeting Alvin Lee after a concert at the Bayfront Center in St. Pete Fl in 1974. One of the best Rock&Roll players ever. R.I.P. Alvin. 
What is a better route, tube or SS preamp?
They way to go tubes is tube amp and tube preamp. 2.. tube amp ss preamp. The tube amp will make the biggest difference, however both components being tube is better. I've tried SS amp w/ Carver C-1 pre, tube amp to the Carver, (better) ss amp to ... 
Cat damaged speaker, Help
Adam18.. I was simply pointing out that a stereo is better off kept away from pets. Having a garage to keep a NEW car in is also more advantageous. Sorry if I've offended you, but maybe anyone over 45 that still has to have a job in this country i...
