HT subwoofers
I suspect that this is a physical impossibility with anything small enough to fit in your house. Also think of the power requirements. As I recall, my Yamaha C2a had an infrasonic filter that rolled off anything below 15hz. Hard to imagine that th... 
converting standard cable to balanced
Ernio1- there are adapters available, but I'm not sure if that will do what you want. Anyways, Markertek (pro-audio) has a good name (Neutrix) and v good prices compared to hi-fi prices. 
BetterCables.com - anybody have exp.?
Service- outstandingBuild quality- very nicePerformance (s and component video) very goodPrice- good (can't match it new) 
Traded the Most ?
BTW, have had 3 preamps in last year. 
Traded the Most ?
Dekay- I think I remember you have a cl-10; did you try the DAC on that? If so, what did you use and what are your results. My CL-10 is used w/BAT VK3i, DNA o.5 dlx, VAndy 2ci. 
spades vs. bananas
Kelly- cha cha cha. BTW whats the difference between 3 way terminals and 5 way binding posts?(probably a good joke in there somewhere, but I wouldn't want to offend.) 
Another 2,000 Speaker Question
I recently hear another Paradigm near but not at that price point driven by NAD electronics and a good (CAL CL-10)CD player. I felt that they imaged very well and had lots of detail, but maybe were a little "hi-fi ish". It was in a demo room with ... 
Badly misinformed member
IMO, what you're seeing is the audio equivalent of the bigger fool theory of real estate (no matter how much you pay, there's always a bigger fool around willing to pay more). Either that or its leakage from ebay where items often sell for inflate... 
How to buy from Audiogon?
Words of wisdom Lakefront. Didn't know that paypal had a limit on fraud protection. That's scary. Would point out to all that buyer is making a hugh leap of faith, so seller should be willing to put up with reasonable requests for authentication. ... 
Digital Smear???
The question Al, it seems to me, is "have you bought equipment from them regularly in the past?" If you have only auditioned there (and brought home equipment regularly), and then gone for the lowest price elseswheres, then I would say neither of ... 
What to do? What to do?
Sorry should say just about ALL electronics 
What to do? What to do?
Vandersteen 2s do sound good with just about electronics but I'm not sure they really rock (I own them and now mostly listen to acoustic music). However, they might be a good match to your electronics if (as other posters say) they are a little br... 
How to buy from Audiogon?
Tom- iescrow is fast and easy as described above. If seller has limited feedback and/or if $ is high, that's probably the best way to go, COD is next. However, I have done about 15 transactions here in the last year (2 @ 900, rest less) and all ha... 
SONY WEGA and component video .........
Anyone else but me have a problem with the geometry on the W(v)ega sets. Keep wanting to like them, cause of detail and almost 3d effect, even in SDTV, but they always look concave. Even after watching a while, I can't shake it. Never seen one out... 
anyone with a 'system' near me?
Don't see why audiogon couldnt start a member directory that could be sorted by zip code. What say, Big Brother?
