Question about selling on Audiogon
Based on my experience buying and selling using the Internet for the past 5 years, I really don't think the "When" matters. Instead it is always the "What" and, most of all, the "How Much" matter the most. As long as you have a desirable item with... 
Question about selling on Audiogon
I'd say the opposite is true. I normally don't have time to peek in until at least meal time. However, this may not be applied to die-hard GoNer or someone who is seeking for a particular item. 
A new Audiophile music label, cutting LP's
Just got my copy. Not only did the record sound great, the music is equally good. Since Dennis at Pure Audiophile told me there were only less than 1000 pressed I gather this one would soon be sold out. 
Daruma's vs Rollerblocks
I had both the 1.0, 1.2 and the Pro. 1.2, IMHO, has the best price/performance ratio simply for its self centering design. However, if you have a level surface, 1.0 would do a fairly adequate job as well. Darumas, on the other hand, could be a rea... 
Daruma's vs Rollerblocks
If you guys were impressed by Daruma or Rollerblock, you should try Aurios MIB since I've tried all three and reached a conclusion that MIB is the one that works best. At first I was highly skeptical but now I have Aurios under all of my equipment...

There a lot of record shows in LA/San Diego area. The two that I normally go to are the Sequoa Swap Meet (in Buena Park) every last Sunday of the month and the Pasadena City College Swap Meet (in Pasadena) which is help on the first Sunday.The onl... 
Lyrita Catalog
Lyrita have indeed produced CDs from early to mid 90s when the company eventually went belly up. However, their CD catalog was a lot shorter than the LP. 
Marantz SA-1 reliability problem
As a follow up of all my previous posts, my SA-1 was never fully functional flawlessly since it was returned from Philips Service Center. It wasn't until I finally managed to send the unit to Marantz Japan to get it fixed. Upon return, Marantz inc... 
Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US
Just got my Eva Cassidy Songbird LP from Red Trumpet. It is indeed a lot better than the CD. 
Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
Detlof pretty much summarized all Quad users' love-hate relationship with their speakers. Can't live without them, can't burn them. I finally decided to move on after 10 years and just have to look back every now and then when I know there is some... 
Quad ESL 63's worth repair?
I owned two different pairs of ESL63s between '85 -'95 and both of them ended up suffering the same problem as you described. I found a local guy in LA named Gary Garfield for service on the latter pair. After spending almost $450, there was littl... 
Jeff Rowland 8Ti still available?
Okay, guys, that last person who wishes to start any rumors on the Net is me. I got a feeling that the person that I obtained this piece of information may not a Pass guy after all. Nowhere was I able to find any confirmation of the discontinuatio... 
Jeff Rowland 8Ti still available?
At 2002 CES, Pass Labs shows a XA200 which is the pure class-A version of their current A/AB X-series. According to one of the sales person, the current X-series will be discontinued when the XA series is launched. 
Where to buy Eva Cassidy's Song Bird LP in the US
Hot Records is the company that release the LP. Blix Street is the production company of the CD.Red Trumpet only has it as a pre-order item. I did place an order but it may takes weeks before I get my copy. So I was simply wondering if there is an... 
Jeff Rowland 8Ti still available?
If you are shopping between a 8TiHc or a Pass X600, then X600 is perhaps a better bet (although the X-series will be discontiued pretty soon as well). X600 has better transient response and a better defined mid to low bass.
