| Best Upgrade for 1,000- for my system I see you have both a CD and DVD. How about a nice DAC for 2 channel music? To give you more cash for the DAC, you could also sell the CD player and just use the DVD player as a transport, although that Sony CD player does make a good transport. I... | |
| Personal amp evolution My main system jumps around too much to call it evolution. But my secondary system in a home office (bedroom) is (all with phono and CD): Onkyo Receiver, Rotel Receiver, NAD 302, Cambridge Audio A3i, YBA Integre DT. | |
| Anyone with parralel line conditioner experience? Highly recommend the Blue Circle BC86 Noise Hound. Two are better than one ($110 each).Those little Audio Prism Quiet Line are OK at $25 each. Minimum of 4, and 8 are better put around the house near noisy refrigerators, etc.I believe the Richard ... | |

| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Yes, I guess we do get annoyed by certain questions. I cannot even count the number of times I have gotten a long list of general questions about a brand of audio gear and I tell them the information is available at: www.insert-company-name.comI w... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE vs Arcam CD72 I guess it really does come down to how much you want to spend. The Arcam is more refined and should be considering price. For under $500 brand new, the Cambridge is hard to beat. For used do not forsake the original D500. It has a slightly older ... | |
| Anyone heard that Rotel amp that cost 2700 in 1996 The two most costly amps listed in the Rotel Archives are:RB1090 380W, THX, balanced outs 1999 $1999RMB1095 5 x 200W 1999- $1,999 There is nothing that high around 1996 unless there was an RHT amp not listed.See info at: http://www.rotel.com/html/... | |
| Experience with Blue Circle amps I agree with you 100%. That Audio Refinement Complete integrated bench tested out poorly in someone elses review. It is sort of confirmed by the fact that YBA won't publish a 4 ohm rating (and a number of other stats) for the Complete, but they do... | |
| Experience with Blue Circle amps In the end Sterophile liked the BC21 and BC22. That is what confuses reviewers. I agree the specs. of Gilbert's gear may not always test out well against the "established norm", but no one denies that it sounds great. This may in fact raise a ques... | |
| Experience with Blue Circle amps Thorty40: Well I guess it could be anything?? Still sounds to me like the customer service problem is with that dealer. He does not stock it; he just orders it and has it shipped to you. Then he does not want to deal with any problems. In the end ... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Also: a guy who lived about an hour away by car, asked if I could bring to him a digital cable I was selling for $50, so he could demo it and decide if he wants to buy it. | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Are you the original owner? No, I am at least the third. The manufacturer, the dealer, then me.Has it ever been serviced? No, it has not broken down yet. Maybe after I sell it.I know where people are coming from, but if an item is well cared for, ... | |
| Cable confusion? My favorite cheap cables is the IXOS 6003. List is $2.50 a foot, but www.AC4L.com (Accessories for less) sells it for $1.49 per foot with free shipping. I have compared it with the Home Depot/Lowes 12 gauge and it is a big improvement. More glare ... | |
| Best Ways to ship Eggleston Rosa from NY To LA I agree with BAX. | |
| The age old question of trusting your gut feeling I hear ya. I just move on when that happens. I would not read anything into it. Some people are busy and some travel for work.It happens to sellers also. Folks say they want to buy something and then you never hear from them again. See the new thr... |
