| Another UPS Horror Story Jarrett: Zd542 hit the nail on the head when he said "its very likely that UPS will settle with you out of court". If you take UPS to small claims court, UPS will be forced to decide what will cost them less... pay you off... or have one of their ... | |
| How to divide a budget between components Not enough has been said about cables... which in my system represent about 50% of the cost. Last week I sent my speaker cables to Nordost to re-terminate and in the interim used wire that I had left over from connecting the rear channels in my su... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Xti16:Yes... I was at Nextlevel... and you're correct that the speakers were in-fact the 2.5's... sorry for my misdirection. If Tyler can get the Raidho speakers to image at AXPONA like they do in his family room, there'll be a line a mile long at... | |
| Scansonic mb serie I was at a Raidho dealer yesterday and listened to the Scansonic MB 3.5's and all I can say is if you're in the market for a $3,500 floor stander, do yourself a favor and audition this speaker. The dealer showroom was in his home... with absolutel... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower Raymonda... Did you mean to say "total lack of compassion" because that's what I hear when I listen to the previews. | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? A couple of years ago I stepped away from power cable chase because I wasn't getting the bang for the buck that I was expecting. I sold what I had and purchased Audience powerChord e's for my entire system... which actually put money back in my po... | |
| Smash and Grab at High end Store in San Francisco Driving a vehicle though and into a high-end store front has been happening in downtown Chicago for a few years now... so much so that some store owners have reverted to installing barriers at their curbside. What the thrives do is crash the store... | |
| Shunyata vs. Audience vs. Bybee? I can't address the comparative strengths of the units you're considering but I can say that even the humble Audience aR6 is amazing. I use the word "humble" with great respect because I own both an aR6 and an aR6 TSS. I use the aR6 for my TV and ... | |
| Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables Tropicaldiver is on point with how good the Clear Day speaker cables are. I fought with another manufacturer's heavy... very expensive... and very good speaker cables until one day I just gave up the fight and bought a pair of Paul's Double Shotgu... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck I can count the number of CD's I purchased last year on two hands... the Annie Lennox Nostalgia CD being one of my favorites. The media that glorify individuals like Kanye West need a reality check. Look at what happened to Brian Williams... NBC f... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products I'm curious whether the new Pulse Gen ZX Premier is a step up from the original. | |
| New member and potential seller question Everyone has to start out somewhere so step up and place your ad. A well structured comment in your ad about being a new member, along with clear pictures of your receiver and its packaging, and the offer for local buyers to audition the receiver ... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? I think its a toss-up. Isn't it true that a really good amp will make just OK speakers sound their best... but really good speakers will never sound their best with an amp that's not up to the task? | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. IMHO AudiogoN got this wrong. If the seller failed to use the proper AudiogoN system procedure for declining your offer, the seller is at fault and you should not have been penalized. | |
| Gamut M250 mkIII Speaker Connection Emphasis added that I probably have far less electrical knowledge than the average audiophile but for what its worth, I recently purchased a Gamut D200 MKII amp and connected my Nordost Tyr speaker cables / Sonus Faber Olympia I speakers to the Di... |
