| LP storage advice please? I use Ikea shelves for LP storage. They are just the right size and can handle 50-100 lp's per section of shelf. They were inexpensive at the time. | |
| Grounding Box Q Some of these grounding boxes cost many thousands and the ground wires can go for 300.00-400.00 a pop. No thank you, my system is quiet enough without it. IMHO, it's a money grab from the manufacturers. I guess they just figured out another way... | |
| Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG? It irritates me to no end why they do that. I have tried to correct a few, but always get shot down. One guy did ask me if I wanted it or not and before I answered he said he had plenty of offers. 3 weeks or so later, he sent me a "still intereste... | |
| Most recent speaker you audited in room and returned? Why did you return it? Von Schweikert VR 33 speakers. I purchased them based on reviews and reviewer Greg Weaver totally gushed over them. Was going to order a new pair but someone on the Gon was selling his pair, 6 months old for a tiny bit discount, so I bought them... | |
| kenwood kr 4400 I used to sell the KR4400 back in the 70's. I believe it is a 40wpc receiver.. If my memory is correct, it sold for $250-275.00. Sounds like one of the channels is bad. Try cleaning the volume and balance controls with cleaner. If it isn't th... | |

I really wanted to like them, tried a 100wpc Rogue tube integrated, a Parasound Halo Integrated and my Mac 200wpc integrated amp. Speaker sounded anemic, and shrill. After a week of moving them all over the listening room, bac... | |
| Holiday Habits and Pleasures @roxy54 , not a scrooge, we still spend big on the kids, son in law and son's girlfriend. Times have changed though. We do a big Christmas breakfast but the last few years, it's just my wife and me. Last year we went to our daughters for Christ... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. If you are stuck on a desert island with 2 records, how would you play it, power it, etc? | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? If you use PayPal friends and family and the equipment is bad, good luck trying to get your money back and I speak from experience. I always use it the right way and pay the 3% fee that the cheapskates are trying to avoid. Why use F&F just to ... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? McIntosh does not sell more merchandise than equipment. As a matter of fact, they most likely sell far more equipment than most high end brands. | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? I’m a McIntosh guy and I wouldn’t buy it. Not a fan of the Grateful Dead at all so it’s a non issue for me. For $199.00, there are quite a few records I could buy instead. | |
| Holiday Habits and Pleasures The kids are in their 40’s, wife and I are alone in this big house. I put the tree up the weekend before Christmas and take it down Jan 2. I the tree crowds the living room. I will put on Christmas Music for my wife but I will go upstairs as I a... |
