| NAD M3 owners, your assistance is requested Bizango1 - Get your information right on the Yamaha ! | |
| NAD M3 owners, your assistance is requested I own a Yamaha AS2000. It also features a stepped attenuator volume control, yet I hear no clicks at all. It is surperbly implemented.Absolute worst clicking racket I ever heard was the Cambridge Audio AZUR 840A integrated. Just plain bad and a de... | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? "Good music can't be delivered without good system..."I cannot be in agreement with this statement. Good - and great - music stays good and great no matter how you hear it.In the car, on cheap earbuds, through shopping center el-cheapo speakers, a... | |
| What is "low ball" Low ball is, simply, the price where the seller thinks ''ridiculous'' in his mind when he sees it. Not even worth a reply if you asked me. And if you feel it is ridiculous, you can bet the "potential buyer" knows it too. Shame. | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Well, I totally expected some would not agree with my somewhat controversial post. I am being sincere though. I am not being cynical of audiophiles, I am one myself. I have been roaming Audiogon for years, and have written-responded on many occasi... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? This whole discussion exemplifies everything I have come to understand about the truth AND destiny of this hobby: The MUSIC taking a backseat to the never-ending analysis of SOUND, and the countless hours wasting on getting that little one last dr... | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? After much discussion and haggling, I was finally able to return the product. Still, this proved to be an unbelievable waste of time not to mention the frustration of having to fight for some respect here.This does not take away from the fact that... | |

| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? I am a VERY firm beleiver that 80% (if not more) of Audiogon roamers are gearheads first and that their relationship with music is contaminated by the never-ending analysis of sound and the "air" around the instruments and other sooooo-important s... | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? Actually, my concerns have more to do with careless owners with recent gear than carefull owners with older equipment.I dont mind if an amp has a lot of mileage on it. I'll take this any day over a newer unit that has been moved around and nicked ... | |
| The Audiophile's Wife Great stuff! I would make this blog a permanent option on the Audiogon menu! | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? I cried listening to music this evening.There was Kenny G playing on radio and my ears started bleeding ! | |
| Clearaudio " Innovation" - What? ...then again, there are countless ''innovations'' that more or less contribute more to techno blaber than actual AUDIBLE results. Many of those innovations carry fancy names to describe technologies that are shared by many, but that sound unique ... | |
| Clearaudio " Innovation" - What? The word ''Innovation'' is surely used only for marketing purposes and to generate some kind of reaction or attention. (Looks like it worked, right?) Whether there is true innovation or not is irrelevant in the marketing arena. It is the perceptio... | |
| Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier Well, I am closing in on 1 year of ownership of the Yamaha AS2000.I enjoy this great amplifier as much as I did on day one.Have to be patient with break-in though - after about 400 hours, this classy beast opened up even more - still my highest re... |
