| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors No one trusts anyone else's opinions here and should not. Anyone else find that a very odd comment coming from a reviewer? Or do I have Tbg confused w someone else? | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. Addendum to my last postAnd of course w/o sellers, no income for audiogon. | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? Never heard the Belles but his designs are universally praised. Owned the McCormack and it was an excellent piece. Only comment I can add to those above, is that Steve McCormack is still active in providing support and upgrades to his designs thro... | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. Not sure about that john. A contract is a contract is a contract. Oral, written or otherwise. Now proving it is another matter. Audiogon Should get right on top of this, because this is clearly a "bug" in their system that undermines the formal mo... | |

| Should I repair my amp? Lots of well qualified techs out there. It's not quite rocket science.As long as the tech can figure out the values for the bad parts. | |
| Should I repair my amp? IIRC, Levinson is infamous for high factory repair costs, as well as use of proprietary or potted or disguised (not the right word but I think you know what I mean) parts to make it near impossible for an independent fix. I also seem to remember t... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 I'm in CT, where most years, the snow cover is more off and on, so we do get some field work done. We also do a fair amount of report writing in the winter. Then we go to Cancun and sip margaritas! | |
| Beware How I was ripped off Tom32- If you remember some simple rules, this site is usually pretty darn safe for sellers. Your local dealer will probably give you 10 cents on the dollar at best, here you should be able to get 3-6X that, so you do have a margin or error. 1. Do... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 Mesch- I'm a new Englander thru and thru but must admit that w wind chills of -20 / -30 overnight it might be time to be walkin' some a them mangrove swamps y'all got down there. | |
| repair or replace Accuphase DP-75V after 15 years Nsgarch- I'm sorry for your loss. Hadn't seen any comments from Fatparrot lately; now I know why. Seemed like a good guy. | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 Mesch- You were one lucky 19 y.o. I got my AR XA in 1970 or 71 (if you remember the 70s you weren't there!) but I had to wait another 20 years to discover the joys of tubes. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak- I'm sure that one of the HFC crew could fix you up a magnetic levitation cable support platform for another $5K. So has anyone other than the two fanboys seen dd and calvin at the same time? The mystery continues??? Maybe we can get Geraldo R... | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. I've had some success with A'gon customer support when I contact them via email. If seller contacted you outside A'gon system and you can document it, there should be no penalty to you AND of course, if he actually sold the amp he has no "damages"... | |
| Anyone else making their own cables? Al said In most cases a pin diagram for the XLR connectors was marked on the rear panel Interesting...it's been quite a while but as best as I can recall, the unit I had did not have the pin-outs marked. And I think I remember that it was "upgrade... |
