| Kudos to several dealers I called Vandersteen Audio asking a question about a used subwoofer and they gave me his cell#. Turns out he was on a family trip (hope the receptionist didn't get fired), but was gracious enough to interrupt his personal time and answer a brief q... | |
| DVD Recommendations 500.00 new or used My DV-05 looks pretty good to me. Not progressive scan, I don't think, but then my TV has a built in doubler. | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? Its not the money, its the stuff! | |
| Need advice to select a Pre Amp You might also give BAT VK3i a try. A couple for sale now. Should be able to get for about 1k line only, more for phono and/or remote. I am using it w/DNA 0.5 dlx right now and it sounds fine. | |
| John Hartford How sad. A true original. | |
| Advice for the Budget 'Phile You'll like the Vandys and there's usually several pair to choose from here or on ebay. Very forgiving speaker. NOt the ultimate in detail but always makes music. | |
| 6922 tube rolling recommendations Ditto for me, alhthoug I'm looking for recommendations for the 6922s in my BAT VK3i. Looking for a LITTLE bit more forward sound to go with my Vandys. | |
| You get what you pay for... Based on what you've posted so far, I would either take the $, or give the Cambridge a third try with the understanding that you would have an extended money back trial period. 30 days would typically shake out most build (rather than wear) problems. | |
| Who R U? Landmark- hello. Interesting that many here (certainly by no means all) are self-employed or business owners. If you want to get an idea about others systems, check out the virtual systems section. | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Man, you guys are starting to scare me! | |
| What songs make you cry? Jackson Browne "After the Deluge" | |
| Best tube pre under 1500? You could also land a BAT VK3i for under 1K line only, or more with phono and/or remote. The factory 3i (not upgraded 3) has both balanced and rca inputs and outputs. No headphone section, however. | |
| Insolvency Or it may be that the merchandise was no longer his; his creditors may have seized the assets (legally) to secure their debts. Or the merchandise may have been used as colaterral for loans that were not repaid (pretty much the same thing, I guess). | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Fpeel- From what I can gather, - votes alone don't get you booted (not sure anyone other than flagrant abusers have actually gotten booted). I think it just puts you on the radar screen and Big Bro (aka Arnie) keeps an eye on you. Hard to believe ... | |
