| Can anyone help with a load of equipment I have acquired The Joule pre-amp is a very high end item that was produced in limited quantities. There is a blue ok function on this site that may or may not have info on that item. The speakers are probably listed there. If you place a classified and have no o... | |
| Punch hx2 is it ruiend What do you mean by "inside"? | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? As is usually the case in audio, how good the results are depends less on the design approach that is chosen, and more on how well the chosen approach is implemented. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I nominate this as verse 1 in the Audio... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Lots of good information and analysis above. One thing not mentioned is what are the actual street prices of the $$$ speakers? Leaving aside "industry accommodation" pricing, what do real consumers actually pay for a $50K or $100K speaker? I ha... | |
| 6H2311 E8 tubes ?? The P in the tube types referenced above is often used as an English keyboard equivalent for the 17th letter of the Cyrillic alphabet which looks a lot like the "pi" symbol. or like an inverted letter U. If it was a bit smudged, it could easily ... | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? I think nsgarch and smittyjs pretty much nailed it. You have to separate the forum/social side from the sales side. Business is business, if you don't like an offer, either counter or say no. Don't get insulted. When someone asks you what your... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music Tift Merrit is a real gem, but I have to admit, I was a "UGE" fan of the period when she performed with the band featured on the Home is Loud album. Saw them at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. Not the best acoustics, but what a great combinatio... | |
| Lawsuits over "dots" Please clarify, ptss. Lawsuit is not the same as complaint. | |
| Cabinet Colors In my opinion, substantially, but then again, I would never buy a white car, either. | |
| All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Funny, I'm a big Emmy-Lou fan and like All the Road-running CD. I want to like the Rodney Crowell ones, but somehow they leave me feeling "meh..."Go figure? | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music One of my "new favorites" is Antje Duvekot, especially her Live from all over the place CD. Matraca Berg is a killer songwriter with an angel's voice and a good sense of humor, (Honey, your husband's cheatin' on us). Also, Hank's granddaughter, ... | |
| Quicken the burn in time for new speakers by using a cheaper SS amp? You also might want to consider a used 2 channel receiver. You can then use the FM tuner for the music source. Yep, good idea. Or even the NAD 5.1 receiver/CD/DVD I am selling. Just kidding... Not really...Well,sort of ;-)Most importantly,... | |
| Need a Reliable Electronics Repair Shop Try Electronic Service Labs in Wethersfield, CT or Approved Audio in Bantam, CT, Both have done good work for me in the past. | |
| Replacing broken tweeters from Bose 201 serie IV speakers Next stop after Parts Express would be Bill st Madisound. | |
| Great female voices No one has mentioned Vienna Teng. Singer/songwriter/folky/pop vibe. Not a fan of all of her songs, but try Soon Love Soon or City Hall. And for Eva Cassidy fans, there’s a relatively new double disk release of the Blues Alley sessions that, beside... |
