| Does This 'Black Box' Exist, If So, What Is It? Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like a close fit, though spdif and aes/ebu would be nice without having to add another box. I guess this is as close as I’m going to get. | |
| Audio Mirror vs Prima Luna tube DAC There's a review of the Tubadour SE III using the Aurender N100H as source and compared to a Moon 380D, so it might be helpful for the OP. Jump to page 2 of the review to get into the comparison.https://audioresurgence.com/2020/05/audio-mirror-tub... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I have a simple compromise solution that mostly resolves my issues with the Make-an-Offer system.If an offer comes in that’s not acceptable to you, for whatever reason, just hit the ‘Decline’ button right away so that the person making the offer c... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? I just bought an integrated amp using a straight Buy it Now when there was a Make an Offer option.It actually felt quite good?!! | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition) I heard a Sound-Smith phono at Cap Audio Fest. You'd expect it to be good, and it is. Comes in well under your budget too. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @verdantaudio Offers are interesting and I guess it comes down to your philosophy. I respond to all offers as quickly as I decide. I have let one sit for a day because I was pondering it. Automated rejects would be nice but then again, I like d... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @stereo5 You seem to take a very "black and white" stance to buying/selling online, where some might consider the exchange of goods for cash between two complete strangers to be more of a process.My point is, as a buyer, we've little idea what's i... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @dchang05 - "I wish there is an automatic reject option to offers that are lower than seller's desired asking price" - that would go some way to fixing the problem. As I've said, a big part of the issue is being in limbo for 48hrs wondering whethe... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @genesis777 That’s my beef with the system, exactly. It would work ok if people were responsive, but it doesn’t work so well with the way some people are. Were it the only time this has happened I wouldn’t have made a fuss, but it isn’t. I thin... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @tablejockey - I was actually kidding about the Kenny G thing...lol | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @millercarbon Thanks for that perspective. I tend to buy and sell fairly often so I'm not really that invested at the initial offer stage, and I've dealt with my fair share of whackjobs over the years, both buying and selling. (nothing much surpr... | |

| Neutral Sounding Tube Amps - what gives? Just stumbled upon this thread from a few months back https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/why-don-t-tube-amps-sound-like-tubes-anymoreAt least now I know there are other folks thinking the same thing about the evolution of tube 'sound'.I can go... | |
| Neutral Sounding Tube Amps - what gives? Thanks for the comments above. I probably wasn’t making my point very clear in my OP. I said “romance,” “warmth,” etc, as those are what I consider to be classic tube artifacts or colorations. These are positive attributes and mostly the reason fo... | |
| Conrad Johnson or PrimaLuna Owned an original CAV for several years and loved everything about it. Also had a CJ CA200 which is an excellent unit and can be had for around $2500. I’d probably take the CA200 over the CAV45 just ‘cos it’s a little more neutral and more detaile... |
