| How do I pay? How close to you does this seller live? If no shipping is involved I think Misstl has it right above. Plan to pick the speakers yourself and bring cash to his house after you make sure he doesn't live in a dicey part of town. If you like them afte... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I have to join the growing "Meet the Beatles" crowd here. It was in the early 60's my Mom won a drawing at the Roosevelt Field shopping mall on Long Island. It entitled her to a selection of $35.00 worth of free records at the mall record store. T... | |

| During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like. I like old movies, grew up on them as television reruns on the local NYC stations like WPIX in the fifties.King Kong (the original)Babes in Toyland, later reissued as March of the Wooden Soldiers, (with Laurel and Hardy. It’s got real boogie men i... | |
| Discernment is bad. Self awareness is good. You make a good point Erik. You're never going to be able to get the best of everything anyway, so why worry overmuch about it? Do the best you can and enjoy what you have, and have accomplished. And it's a little off your point, but the things yo... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? We’ve got a somewhat similar system Joey, I’ve a Luxman 507UX integrated, a VPI Classic 2 turntable with an Ortofon 2M Black cartidge, and Magico A3’ speakers which are quite revealing. After reading your post, I’m listening right now to some earl... | |
| Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday! The IsoAcoustic Gaia feet under my speakers have the "smoked" chrome finish so they are more subdued in appearance than the plain chrome finish version. They have performed exactly as well as their reviewers stated they would too. Imagine that.Mike | |
| Think fast: What would you take? Johnnysterebuyers advice seems good. If you’ve a minute to read your homeowners policy, you might find a few valuables listed the policy doesn’t or only partially covers, that you could fit into your car. For instance our State Farm Homeowners pol... | |
| 500 albums in a basement flood--worth saving? Back in 1977 I went into the Service and was stationed in Germany. I had maybe 750 records at the time which I was going to put into storage, along with a bunch of antiques and other belongings. My sister insisted I store the stuff down her baseme... | |
| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? Before I purchased a Luxman 507uX MKII I also looked into the comparable Hegel model. Look at the pictures of the interior wiring of the Hegel 390 athttps://www.hegel.com/products/integrated/h390 (right above the technical specs) versus what you s... | |
| Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson? Don’t know about the other two, but I’d rule out the Hegel as they manufacture in China, the land of little or no quality control. Check out Luxmann integrateds in your price range, made in Japan with excellent quality control. I’m unfamiliar with... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Erik, I’m trying to figure out if it would be worthwhile to upgrade power cords on some of my components. Doesn’t really make any sense to me to do so, but that doesn’t mean it might not make for some improvement for reasons I’m unaware of. I thou... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Isoacoustic Oreas, recommended to me here by another site member, work very well. Unexpectedly, they perform exactly as reviewers say they will. I never would have guessed that would be the case. There's a number of reviews online, and here’s a li... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? I’ve been wondering a lot recently about honesty in Internet conducted business transactions. I live in an area in SW Virginia where few people wear face masks. At age 68, knowing I must avoid those people to avoid Covid-19, I’ve limited most of m... |
