| Verity Parsifals to Von schweikert VR4 Gen III ?? Hello, first of all, just in case you may be interested, I offer my humble Audiogon review of the Parsifal speaker, dating back to 2002, so I hope my comments will be taken with a bit of credibility as a previous owner of the Parsifal ( owned them... | |
| How do they do it???????????? I think this has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the following:1. Incomplete information on billing, invoices - that will in a certain way force customs to search inside the box when in doubt, and I doubt US customs are more careful... | |
| Mood lighting Two suggestions.First, get a ''salt lamp''. They look like a a big rock - they are in effect a block of solid salt with a small 7watt bulb in it. Most people buy them for soothing effects, but the peachy color look real nice in a darkened room.Sec... | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell A lot of people have gone bankrupt setting up shops and selling their ''favorite brand'' or gizmo they were passionate about. Trouble is, there is often a large gap (and resulting small market) between what the business owner likes as a result of ... | |
| HELP One pair for $2k Recommendations Please In my humble opinion, you should consider Polk Audio LSi 15 speakers. The LSi series is Polk's high-end and God-sent answer to audiophiles who would prefer to spend their money on frivolous things like food, clothing, and college educations. Lot's... | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo Funny that is has a ''classical music'' target audience to it when this thing can of course be used for any type of music. Looks like a marketing mistake to me. I think it will probably be the logical extension of the i-pod. Pretty interesting... | |
| Moon I-3 and Totem Forest? Enough power but the i-3 is under-sophisticated (rough on the edges) for this articulate speaker.... | |
| Have you ever moved to improve your system I sincerely think that if someone has to move to improve his system, well, that person needs to take a long, long break from Audio ! | |
| mother passed away - pro recording help needed Dennis,I understand how you feel, as I also lost my mother a year ago. She entered the hospital for a certain operation and everything was fine. Can you beleive that on day 3 after her operation, she had almost recovered fully, and we were all in ... | |
| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? Does a $20.00 quartz Timex keep better time than a $ 5,000 ''manual'' Rolex ? The answer is ''yes''. Is a Louis Vutton handbag worth $ 1,000.00 ? Can you really tell the diffence between a $ 20.00 wine and one that cost $ 200.00 a bottle (some do,... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? This is no joke !I forgot to mention one of the all-time greatest overachieving products in high-end audio. Next time you feel that you need new speakers or interconnects, invest $ 5.00 in a bottle of....Ear Cleaning solution ! Think I'm joking? t... | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference I feel that the fuss that Jadis is asking for biasing its Orchestra amp contributes to the no-longer-deserved reputation that owning tube equipment is trouble.Modern tube amps are no longer a fuss to own, provided that some respect for the user is... | |
| Cayin TA-30, which CD player you using with it? I am using a Shanling TA-100. Marvelous sound. With the choice of switchable upsampling, choice of tubed or solid state output, a quality tube headphone amp built-in and great looks and build quality, this one's a no-brainer. Surely, you will be a... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 1 with Solid State Power Amp I once had a line 1 paired with a McCormack DNA-125, a very nice match, as the McCormack has a very clear sound, on the thin (but not bright) side, and matches well with the Line 1. Good luck. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I feel McIntosh is to audio what Harley Davidson is to motorcycles. Harleys are not the most confortable,refined, fastest or the most reliable machines (as say, a top product from Japan), yet they are well made and offer good value. They are, howe... |
