| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Your post is prettty amusing. You would be (maybe are?) a good writer. Glad you found a combo that works for you. Since you have had so many others, it would be interesting to see how long the love affair lasts.I too bought the De Capos, reading a... | |
| Where is best to sell old Brociner tube amp? And surprise!...he's a new member, and it's his first post. | |
| Magnetic Isolation Look into the Star Sound Technologies Apprentice platforms which are selling on Audiogon right now at an introductory price. I loved the SP-101 speaker platforms, so I bought one of these for my transport, and it is great, at an affordable price. ... | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns Schubert,A bad past experience will leave residual bitterness. I mouthed off on a thread about Talon speakers for the same reason, and later regretted it and apologized. No problem; you're a nice guy too. | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns Schubert,I love the spirit and substance of your post above, although in light of what you expressed here, I must say that you were a bit harsh in your exchange with Mapman yesterday in the thread about Ohm Micro Talls, calling them a rip-off. It ... | |
| Power Cables diminishing returns My practice with things like power cords that are difficult to audition is to get a general concensus from users and reviews, and buy the best one from that group that you can afford. In my case, it was Pangea. There Elizabeth...I said it! | |
| caveat emptor "Roxy54 you owe Tgyeti an apology, he/she was simply trying to be helpful. Caveat emptor indeed!"No, I don't think that I owe him an apology. His concern is valid, and it may indeed be a fraudulent ad, but his cryptic post was not helpful. Now tha... | |
| caveat emptor If "awkward or uneven grammatical phrasing" is supposed to be a clue, then 30% of the ads on this site would be suspect. Many of those who list, including retailers, are unable to spell, or write a coherent sentence.One example would be your post.... | |
| Where Coming Back Like many "assignment" type articles, it really doesn't tell the uninformed all that much, and for those who are more in the know (ourselves), it's sort of a bland rehash, with a few "real life" examples trotted out to support the writer's positio... | |
| Seeking alternatives to Oppo Geoffkait,I wasn't saying that the Oppo was syrupy or rose tinted, I was saying that I wasn't looking for that sort of presentation. I mentioned it because it seems from things I have read over the years that some people have that view of Audio No... | |
| Should I upgrade amp? +That amp is sweet and smooth, but lightweight, and lacking at the top and bottom extremes. A better integrated would certainly provide more extension as well as visceral inmpact. A used exposure would be nice if the price was right. There are ple... | |

| Seeking alternatives to Oppo I am wondering now...I have an entry level Audio Note DAC that I have been using for years, and there is no doubt that my friends BDP 83, which I am borrowing, has greater depth and detail, even more impact. Still, when I am listening to the Oppo,... | |
| Seeking alternatives to Oppo Thanks for the suggestions. From what I read, the 851C is probably too analytical for me, coming from entry level Audio Note. According to another review I read, the 840 was the exact opposite. From what I have read, the Oppo BDP 105 is really goo... | |
| Bands where U say Because it's fresh in my mind, having just seen Yes in Phoenix, I always wonder how much better they would have been if they had chosen a proper drummer after Bill Bruford left the band in '72. They were really great when I saw them recently, but ... |
