| Earl Scruggs dies at 88 Mr. Scurggs was a great player. Probably one of the best. He starred in a duo with Lester Flatt. I remember seeing them in concert and hearing their records played in my home as a boy. They played bluegrass and country when country was country and... | |
| Oracle Alexandria + Premier MMT = ????? I worked at High End Store while several of these turntables were being produced. I was the turntable setup man so had an intimate knowledge of how to setup the tables and which tables were the best constructed. We sold Sota, Oracle, the New AR, D... | |
| ARC Ref 3 bad tube? A concern I found with my Ref3 was that the tubes would slowly work themselves out of their sockets due to gravity and vibration. Also the pins and sockets seemed to need to be cleaned every couple of months are so to ensure the best sound. A coup... | |
| Oracle Alexandria + Premier MMT = ????? Having worked in a Hifi store as chief turntable setup man which sold SOTA as well as Oracle I had the opportunity to set up SOTAs both Star and Saphire along with the Oracles, both Alexandria and the Oracle at Delphi along with VPI, Denon, and Li... | |
| Oppo BDP83SE vs Oppo BDP95 Isn't break in a bitch? I wonder how many fine products have been maligned because they were evaluated before breaking in. Does anybody know the true reason there is such a phenomena? Molecules being aligned is one theory I know of. If I was a man... | |
| Earl Scruggs dies at 88 What a fine player! What a sad day. He was part of a duo and his partner was Lester Flatts. Don't know if he is still around. They played bluegrass and country when country was country and not rock in disguise. I saw and heard them play in St. Lou... | |
| Oracle Alexandria + Premier MMT = ????? I used to sell this combo which can sound very good. The good news if you fix it up it can sound very good. Don't know if it would be competitive with today's lower end tables but I suspect so. Dust covers can be had here on Audiogon. I forget the... | |

Purchase a PS Audio DAC MK II and Bridge. 3. Purchase a router if you don't have one and connect to br... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Hey Granny,It is truly amazing what proper room treatment can do for your sonic enjoyment. TV between speakers is always a bad idea. It seems like a great idea for us, but speakers hate it. I guess a drop down screen would work they even have acou... | |
| New inexpensive Next Best Tweak Be careful. You can tweak too much and end up with far less than you started with. In your case you won't know where and what you might have done wrong. It will be a pain to take out all that rope after it has heated up it might do some melting. E... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? I have really made significant changes to my system in the last 5 years. The musicality and ease my system displays is breathtaking at times. The system excels at playing all types of music with aplomb. The system is just stupid good. 1. Sold my R... | |
| Wilson, Legacy, or ? The Whispers would sound great in your room. | |
| Transport for PS Audio PW DAC The MK II has just as magical an effect on the PWT as the Bridge or any other digital input. All inputs must go through the PWD MK II. | |
| Transport for PS Audio PW DAC Purchase a PS Audio PWT it by far the best transport to use with the PWD that you have. Buy a HDMI I2S cable to connect the two. You will have great sound that will be difficult and expensive to better. | |
| Legacy Focus 20/20's vs PBN Montana EPS-2 I like the Montana speakers a lot, I've heard JDoris's several times but they won't have the prat the Legacys do. Upgrade to the HDs they sound much better than the 20/20s. |
