| What is Paypal charging you? And note that you can end up with an upgraded account without even knowing it. I thought I just had a personal account but I have something else and am charged 3% plus 30 cents on any and every transaction. Anybody know how you can "downgrade" you... | |
| A Big Thank You to all 'Goners' Simon, if you're the LP guy, thank YOU for some great LPs and fast delivery. | |
| What small center will sound good with Maggie MMGs The smallest center I ever used was the Boston Acoustics VRM-C. I believe it will fit your size requirements. It was only about 6" high by about 8" deep; I can't remember the length, possibly more than 17" but check their website to see. It's fini... | |
| beethoven string quartets I have the Tokyo Quartet and the Alban Berg Quartet on CD and the Philips Box--Quartetto Italiano on LP. I think each set is beautiful in its own way. | |
| Review: Thorens TD-185 Turntable Wow! I've never read such a bad review. Refreshing! Thanks for your time and thoughts. I used to own a Thorens about 15 yrs ago, with a lovely Rosewood base and decent tonearm and Grace Ruby cartridge, and it was first-class all the way. I later g... | |
| I finally compared CD to vinyl and... Budrew, in answer to your question for vinyl lovers as to which CD player sounded most analog-like to their ears, I did a side-by-side comparison with my Linn LP-12 (Akito arm, van den Hul MC-1 Special cartridge) through the same preamp (Adcom 750... | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? Warren, in answer to making things more exciting round the 'Gon, I love it when there are threads on Best Jazz of 2003, or Best New Finds, or reviews of concerts and stuff. I know Ben Campbell already posted on something like this, maybe last week... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? My first record was Hang On Sloopy by the McCoys. Purchased at Giant Music for about $2.47 (standard LP price in those days). I also got the Beatles Second Album and Paul Revere and the Raiders all around the same time. Different shopping trips, t... | |
| Anyone using Joule Electr VZN100 MKIII amplifiers? I have been doing research on the Merlins, and many many people are using them with Joule electronics. It appears to be a match made in heaven, esp. when you color match the finish on the amps and the Merlins. There are recent CES pix of the Joule... | |
| Anyone reterminated a Valhalla? I was going to suggest Drew also--his Audiogon member name is Drubrew. He makes his own cables and reterminates all brands of cables--very meticulous work. | |
| Tube Amplifier Rec. for Proac 1.5 or D 15? Tom, I just emailed you but will tell the rest of the thread too--the CA-50 comes with a remote. | |
| Redbook for the long haul Ayre CX-7; any model Cary. | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? I was just informed by Audiogon (thank you!) that we do, in fact, have a FAQ section available from Help on the Home page. I never knew! If it needs updating, I'm sure some would volunteer. For example, I think I can recite the "CD players with vo... | |
| Tube Amplifier Rec. for Proac 1.5 or D 15? Tom, see if you can find a used ARC CA-50 for your Tablettes instead (they go for $1300 or so and use 6550's). I use this integrated with my 1SC's and agree with your assessment of ARC with the Tablettes: magical! | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? Why don't we have a FAQ section like a lot of sites have? At those sites, the FAQ are right at the top of each forum, with a smiley face or a yellow sticky on them, and they are very informative. Maybe it would be too much work for the moderators,... |
