| Best CCR album? Their first album, Willy and the Poor Boys, Cosmos Factory (Who'll Stop The Rain-a great song about the war in Viet Nam), and Green River (There's A Bathroom On The Right) are excellent, but I've always been partial to Bayou Country.Keep On Choogl... | |
| Audiogoners, I love you........ It's not only the best site I've seen, it's an institution of higher learning! | |
| Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think??? It's universal. I feel that customer service (here in the US) has gone dramatically downhill. Very few people go the extra distance to be courteous and helpful.However, it's been my experience that Audiogoners are the exception. The majority of em... | |
| Best support for Meridian 508.24 CD player? I've tried numerous isolation feet, platforms, pods, pads, and cork sandwiched between two slabs of rubber. I finally settled on a Black Diamond Racing "The Shelf" for a platform and Soundcare Spike 2 as isolation feet for my 508.24. Each piece im... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 1.3se Monitor I agree that the Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE are one of the best speakers around for their size and price range. Superior to most speakers costing at least twice as much. Mid-range and vocals are about as life-like as you can get. I was about to buy a ... | |
| CD Care Liquid Joy is recommended as a mild detergent. Liquid Drano is not a good choice. If the cd is in really bad shape, throw it out! | |
| Best CD Player under 2k ? Used Meridian 508.24 | |

| What percent of your system cost is for cables? I've spent approx. $13,000 or 29% on cables. | |
| Change needed at Audiogon AJ is right on! We as consumers can get ripped off by any person; via the internet, classifieds in periodicals, or shopping in any store. The same is true for selling items. I believe if someone is intending to rip someone off, eventually they'll ... | |
| Review: FIM (First Impression Music) Gold Speaker cable Hey John, love those cables! It took about two weeks for them to settle in. The level of detail, dark background, low noise floor, and clarity of the bass is superb. However, it's quite the workout hooking the cables up. They are stiff!!! After nu... | |
| Meridian or Audio Research - Weigh in Please I owned the Audio Research CD2 for over a year and now have the Meridian 508.24. They are both excellent, but very different. The CD2 has a very sweet sounding 1/3 to mid-hall presentation. It's more forgiving of poorly recorded cd's than the 508.... | |
| CD Player with a Front Row Presentation? The Meridian 508.24 is a very up-front CDP. When I switched from an Audio Research CD2 to the 508.24, it sounded like I was moved from the mid-hall to the front row. The 508.24 does a wonderful job of separating each instument from each other with... | |
