| no body is buying anything on audiogon *If sellers really want to get rid of their stuff, all they have to do is to lower their prices.*This is really the point, right. It's not that things aren't selling, but just that the asking price has been lowered. From my vantage, reatailors acr... | |
| Harvey Rosenberg R.I.P. Well, hopefully wherever he is he has managed to find the shortest path between the music and his brain. Who's left to fight the Digital Devil? | |
| David Gray.. White Ladder... This 'grungy record' technique has been used on a few recordings that I've heard. It's funny that the 'mood' that the artist is trying to create is antithetical to the ideals of audiophiles. Still, I think it's not so unreasonable to see the nosta... | |
| Should Manufacturers Post Prices In Ads I'm not sure Stokjoc was making a point other than ads for specific merchandise would be more usefull if they contained the price of that merchandise. To me, that seems to be almost self-evidently true. I'm really not too certain why personal atta... | |
| Cable recommendation for Jolida/Triangle Thanks for the rec, I read the 47 Lab thread and was impressed with your (plural) descriptions. I have the coordination of a 13 year old in a growth spurt, how hard are these things to make? Also, I had intended on upgading to HG interconnects, bu... | |
| Budget system recommendations A friend recently paired a Jolida 202A ($450 - used) with Triangle Titus speakers ($400 - new). Although he has yet to settle in on a CD player, the amp-speaker combo seems to be really good with everything we've plugged into it (Sony XA20ES, Ah N... | |
| Is the Live Music Reference Correct? While bad stage managers and technicians can ruin a live performance (I still don't understand why they insist on micing the piano at a favorite (VERY small) venue of mine), I still would almost always rather the visceral experience of experiencin... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Big ditto to the Keith Jarret suggestions - especially his solo concerts. | |
| PS Audio Ultimate outlet It should be pointed out that science never 'proves' anything. Scientists do not seek the truth, but rather an accurate model. Scientific measurements do not prove or disprove, they only support or do not support the model. | |
| Holy Mackeral...The Meters do rule Man! I was expecting another thread on RS's SPL mods. What a dissapointment. Seriously, the meters are great down home nasty southern funk. Although, having seen both, I'd hate to make a comparison between them and P-Funk. | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? Ditto fpeel regarding the outdated notion of the customer *always* being right. Separately, my experience with Kevin (I've preordered a CD player from him) have been fairly good (my only complain being that it would be nice to be emailed about exp... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment Albert - as usual you make an excellent point. I love that I can listen to a lot of reproduced music that for whatver reason I can't get to live. However, I do think that tons of exciting music is being created today, even if it's not as good as l... | |
| Ethics of last minute auction "poaching" I don't think sniping is necessarily pro-buyer. I've sold a few items on e-bay that were 'sniped'. In a few of the cases a previous high bidder who had the high bid for a relatively long time (say 12 hours on a one week auction) would write me, ex... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment Another possibility (other than new HW or SW) is actually leaving the sweet spot and seeing some live music. I tell you, the soundstaging is great, the tone accurate, and it is very involving. It's odd to me the kind of megabucks some of us throw ... | |
| I'm very upset. Let me tell you why. I'm sure that the cost of the mold is amortized through the sale of the original part. The point about processing is probably a good one, however, as they probably have to keep a (minimal) staff around to handle these requests. Still, why is it so... |
