| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers @whiskeypirate, moto_man--- I had some communication as well with a Cyprus seller a year ago or so re/Icon tube preamp . He was going to send it to Britain for voltage conversion if I recall. I didn't go for it , felt it a bit odd to be enteri... | |
| Paypal issue beware. lot of good info . Quite startling to consider that PP can refund $ to buyer without setting up a process whereby seller will get the item back. I would of not believed that could happen until I read it here. I have had reasonably good luck u... | |
| High End is Dead? I have just moved out of the bay area north 3 hrs or so. First time home buyer and learned my lesson about not thinning the herd before leaving. Sold my Burgess 2a3 but wound up shipping 20 boxes or so of just hi fi. 6 factory boxes of speakers... | |
| Vintage tube suggestions I would not recommend Upscale or McShane. Only because in my own experience with both there was some difficulty that marred the transaction. Not necessary to go into detail. I'm sure that on some level they both meant well and hundreds o... | |
| Getting into tubes If I am going for tube sound I want to do just that which means tube rectified and not s/s rectified which is what many manufacturers do. Decware uses tube rectification and I have held on to my Taboo EL84 based tube amp. From what I recall tu... | |

| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD I think I can put a bit of personal perspective on this overdose issue considering I spent about 10 yrs of my life addicted to opiates. Accidental simply means that he did not intend to take his own life. For the moment discard perspectives th... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? I dont think I knew your message was here. Probably need to enable a notification switch somewhere. I would have to hear the Vincent) before I could know what I would be dealing with. I actually have the Line 1 --one chassis. I have had... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members This sounds like a relatively newish phenomena. While I have not posted in the forum all that much over the years I had been quite active selling and buying all for my own use since (according to Agon staff) since 2002. Not much these days.... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Thats interesting intoitforthemusic. Out of curiosity re/balanced as there is so much controversy on whether it makes much of a difference unless one is running 40 foot cables or so.. Is the SA-T8 true balanced? Vincent may have deleted that... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? @initforthemusic There appears to be no SA-T8 -- do you mean SA-T7? Ive been looking a lot online for comments from users on the Doge8 which is now called Doge8 Clarity. It seems to be having more PR than what the Vincent is getting for whateve... | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... meant to say if you can not be sure that the unit he shows you is the one you sold him then I would walk on it. | |
| Craigslist transaction went south... the primary red flag on this deal is the guy immediately threatened you with legal action. Over a $120 sale. I would have to assume right from the start that something is amiss. Either he lives under a rock and has no clue that situations ... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. hifiman5, I watched Pauls vid and noticed he did not mention poly material for drivers although as he mentioned speakers are not his thing . - I had read somewhere in the last year or so about the proliferation of polypropylene material drive... | |
