Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony
I would never buy another Sony. For one thing, their service is horrible. And just try and find a local person to work on a Sony is near impossible. My 46" is only 7 years old and just died about 1 month ago. I am going to be in the market for a n... 
Wharfedale speakers
Don't misunderstand me, I agree about the marketing crap about these speakers. But they do on occasion sell here at AG. My posting is to advise as to why pay a middle man for these speakers? If someone is looking to spend next to nothing for a pai... 
Who makes the least expensive Tube Pre-Amp?
Rogue 66 or 99 in the used market. I would go for the Magnum version 99 for $1000 - $1500 
New York-UPSTATE
Let me know when the first meeting is and I would like to join in. I'm in Virgil just down the road from Greek Peak ski resort. 
Think of buying a Magnepan Surround Setup
I used 5 MMG's for my HT for a couple of years. At first I was thrilled, but soon grew tired of them for HT use. I used to use my room for dual purpose, music and HT. In the last few months I built a dedicated listening room. As soon as I started ... 
I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile
What about this piece of crap The Audiophile voice?? I loved Listener, I got 1 issue free and the subscribed and got 1 more. Then I find they went out and I get stuck with this garbage TAV. I hate this rag. The reviews of equipment suck. Most if n... 
best amp for Pro Ac Response 2
I am using Rogue Magnum 88 w/ a Magnum 99 pre with my Studio 250's and they sound great. 
Great Rock & Roll speakers?
All things considered, I was using a old Hafler Dh200 with the Paradigms which isn't the best amp. Now that I am into tubes I couldn't be happier!!! 
Great Rock & Roll speakers?
How right you are Joew, Many find Proacs dull at the top end. I love the top end. How right you are!! 
Great Rock & Roll speakers?
I am sorry if I offended anyone. I purposely put in IMHO. I don't want to push my preferences on anybody. I guess that happens when we are totally honest in our opinion. Now here I go again. You said best sounding speakers for the money. Please do... 
Great Rock & Roll speakers?
IMHO Paradigms suck for rock and roll. Just MO. I have had several different models that I had tried in my HT setup. I didn't even think they worked well for HT. They have the worst tweeter I have heard in any level of speaker. Actually I think th... 
Sony DVP S3000 skips
I hate to say it but I agree with you. Just 3 days ago my Sony RPTV took a crap. It's 6 years old and I can't find a Sony tech to look at it. 
Help a complete vidio idiot
Almost forgot. The most overlooked and possibly the most important. The room itself. You could easily spend several thousand dollars on equipment and if your room is not right, you might has well bought a Kenwood Home Theater in a box set up. Do y... 
Help a complete vidio idiot
I would recommend used equipment right here at Audiogon. The only thing I will say though is I have found LATLEY that the feedback on individuals is not always safe. I have built 3 systems in the last 4 or 5 years directly from this site. I have h...
