| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @unsound ,If you actually read the Audiogon rules regarding making offers, it speciffically states "if you do not hear from the party within 48 hours, consider your offer rejected." Perhaps you need to go over the rules of service again? When I ge... | |
| Connectivity Problems Sounds like a cold solder connection in the right channel. | |
| Threshold SA/1 A friend who delivers for UPS told me to NEVER put a “fragile, glass or breakable” stickers on your package as it a sure way to get the item damaged. You really have no idea what goes on in the UPS warehouse. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. I love the look of my McIntosh equipment. Timeless beauty. | |
| Do speaker wires matter @chilli42, there is no difference in sound of a 3 foot pair of speaker cables to a 9 foot pair of the same cables. If you think otherwise, it is a myth. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? The Audiogon rules are the seller has 48 hours to respond and if they don’t, then you don’t get the item. It is pretty simple. When you put your offer in, you are agreeing to Audiogon terms. You shouldn’t whine afterwards that you didn’t get a res... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @yogiboy, " If the seller will only take the asking price he/she should have listed as buy now only"I never list it as buy it now because you can end up with someone with zero feedback or bad feedback that you are obligated to sell to. I like... | |
| Sansui SR 717 Tone arm balance question Once you get the arm to float, hold the weight and turn the ring with numbers on it until it gets to zero. There should be a line etched into the back of the arm and set the ring to zero on that line. Then grab the weight and numbered ring and tur... | |
| Do speaker wires matter Start with a more powerful amp first and use the wires you have. Later on, if you are enjoying what you hear, only then would I look into speaker cables. | |
| Just ordered a vpi avenger @mijostyn, " The VPI is all bling and no sing." After owning three different VPI turntables, I agree with you completely, What galls me the most is the flimsy 3D Unipivot tone arm. It constantly goes out of alignment and the feel of it giv... | |
| What piece(s) of gear did you sell/give away that you would like to have back? I regret selling my Odyssey Stratos Extreme and the Kismet Reference floorstanding speakers. Only got rid of them because my wife was on my case to get rid of some of my treasures. I had 4 or 5 amps and 3 pairs of large speakers hanging around. ... | |
| Phono cable upgrade recommendation for MC cartridge VH Audio has a Furutech phono cable @ less than $700.00, it has gotten great reviews. | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound I do not hear differences in fuses. With that being said, if fuses make such a BIG difference, why don’t the really high end manufacturers use them as standard in their equipment? So, you spent $150.00 or more on a fuse, of course you think it so... | |
| Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App? My point exactly. When records and CD’s (physical media) were in vogue, the artists made enough to survive and their live events made them rich over time. With all concerts cancelled this year and into next year, many artists can’t survive on wh... | |
| Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App? Are you people aware that the most well known music artists make only a few hundred dollars a year on their music being streamed by Tidal, Spotify and others? Thats right, only a few hundred. Knowing this, I will never stream. Because of this,... |
