| What was your first record? Davy Crockett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3fveCH_74U Sunday at 7 pm laying on the floor a few feet from the TV screen( and being told to move back) watching Disney, the DC series would play on occasion. Woo that was 3/4 of a century ago. | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I expect to negotiate with the seller, If there is no counteroffer then forgetaboutit I move on. Having said this I as a potential buyer laugh at the high prices of audio gear, the price performance ratio is off the charts. A fool and his money ... | |
| Listen with your skin. Just after Woodstock I was at another massive rock concert in the Poconos. They had these gigantic horn speakers and I recall seeing some guy he must have been tripping his patoot off standing in front of if not just inside the speaker as Grand Fu... | |
| Do Your Speakers have LEVEL CONTROLS or EQUALIZERS? (Vintage or Modern) ??? Canton 9k 2 way stand mounted have no controls. As an aside they are outstanding. | |
| Better Records vs MoFi LOL this is just nut spending that much for an LP. Just another audio product that smacks of conspicuous consumption. But hey if you got the coin to spend and yourself indulgent go chase the windmill. | |
| What to change a systemic question Markalarsen I hear you loud and clear I honestly believe that would be the most significant improvement to my system. nonoise I agree with you the thing is those canton's are a fine speaker and I'd hate to see them go but it maybe time. I see you... | |
| What to change a systemic question Soix I was and currently am not unhappy with the sound of my system ( is that a double negative?) but as is our nature things sound better on the other side of the tracks. if I only had a little more... | |
| What to change a systemic question Soix thanks for the recommendation I did go and purchase the SVS sb 1000 pro and it has filled in the base though the lowest notes have no detail. | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet I've purchased all but my source used. I've turned over my system twice buying used gear at a fraction of the new price and never had an issue. My advice buy used locally i.e. how far you are willing to drive so you can test drive the used gear ... | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system Friends to touch my audio gear, who needs friends when I have records to fondle er ah play. Aaaaaahhhhhh vinyl. No, no, no, is that a Scratch what to do, what to do, no,no,no,no. Records to die for, equipment to touch. | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Many years ago I bought used adcom gear and on day one by my negligence blew out the left channel of the gfp 555 amp. I called them up as I lived near their operation in East Brunswick NJ. They told me bring in the amp with a dozen doughnuts. Whi... | |
| So This Really Is The End.... I wonder if the Princeton Record Exchange is still open? I spent many hours there in my youth going through their inventory of CDs and records. The perfect setting for many students and older audiophiles to hunt for recorded treasures. | |
