| "What's Your Best Price?" Simply, the answer to that question should be "the price that, after the deal is done, both parties feel that they are in a better position than before the deal was done." | |
| Gilmour and Waters Together Again I agree. Look at how many senior players there are in major symphony orchestras and how their fingers can still fly across fingerboards, keys and valves. I think that, provided one takes care of the body and mind, with time, the musical abilities ... | |
| Tube Phono Stage Help I had the Jolida and felt it was very nice phono stage. Then I moved to the EAR 834p and felt this was a noticeable improvement, albeit for more $. | |
| Lyra Helikon upgrade I too am a dedicated Lyra fan, currently owning both a Helikon and an Argo i. Lyra styli track extremely well and retrieve the music to a level I have not yet experienced with other brands I've owned, those being Koetsu, van den Hul and Benz Micro... | |
| Audio Research PH2 or Aesthetix Rhea? Rhea is not limited to 48dB gain! | |
| Still lost at sea? I took me about six years before I settled into the system that I continue to enjoy seven years and counting now. And, yes, if something happened to it I would seek to replace all the components to rebuild it just the way it is.The thing is, part ... | |
| Cable assist needed Krell Amp Thiel CS6 I use Harmonic Technologies pro11 (terminated with spades) between my 400cx and CS6s and this is a great combination. For the past 8 years I have not felt the slightest need to change. | |
| VPI Record Cleaner You will find this machine is indispensible once you own it and wonder why you hesitated to purchase it when you had the chance. I bought mine new eight years ago and this has to be one of the best purchases I ever made. | |
| Amp not enough power Are you certain the input voltage was referenced?And how old is the amp? Perhaps some components are simply ready for replacement to restore full power. | |

| What is the Audiogon of music instruments? Awhile back I inquired to the managers of Audiogon asking about a possible sister/brother site that might be called Musigon. Apparently others have also asked. It would be great to have such a venue for audiophiles and musicians to commiserate, bu... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Amp-wise I build my own Metro Amps from kits developed by George Metropoulos. These are high quality clones of Plexi era Marshalls and nothing comes close to these amps. For guitars I have Gibson, Fender, Suhr and Rickenbacker. | |
| New JJ Tesla tubes Agree with Undertow on the new manufacture TungSol 12AX7s. Great tubes. Also their EL34s are what I am running in my Marshall Plexi 100W head and these provide that classic sound. | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street There's no way this could be grunge, it's too upbeat. Plus there is not enough distortion and fuzz on the guitars.I just got the vinyl version of the remaster and I like the sonics. I orginally bought this album the day it came out in 1972 and wor... | |
