| Uesugi and Luxman Vintage Rob,Welcome to Japan. Lots of interesting stuff to find here. I would be surprised if you can get an audition with either one which would be a good stand-in for your own system but it might work. Most places which would sell either will likely hav... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Tvad,The Buyer knows what is "true" for him/her, and likewise the Seller. I think what baka1969 and a few others are saying is that whatever it takes to make the deal go through is what it takes, and the "truth" which gets both sides there is what... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Baka1969, you are right, up to a point. It IS just business. Tvad, I think this may be that if MSRP was $1200 and it is listed at $800 and you get it for $500 that is a much better deal than it being listed at $500 and paying "full price" for it. ... | |
| Decent p-mount table? The Technics SL-10 from 30yrs ago is a great table. | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Autospec,I recently had someone make a lowball offer (call it 50cts on the dollar), which I rejected within minutes. I then rejected it, only to get the same offer back (same price, same "buyer") within a few minutes. I rejected that one, and got ... | |
| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? Hifihvn,In 'The Italian Job', one of the characters was going to use his share of the loot to buy a stereo system which could "play so loud it would blow women's clothes off." Is that what you are thinking of? | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea All right all, on three...."HI BOB!!!" | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro,No problem. I use vintage tonearms and carts almost every day that I listen. I have a dozen (or more) old arms. I have two "new" ones (Phantom and Triplanar VII) but I am very happy with the Exclusive arm on my P3, the excellent Sony PUA-9 ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro,I have been using the Technics EPC-100CMk1-4 and the EPC-101C for years as well as one of the well-mentioned Empires and a couple of the Graces. I have tried some of the AT MMs, other Empires, and the Garrott P77 (and probably one or two ot... | |
| Nude Turntable Project While I use and love several of the arms mentioned here, and several other vintage arms not mentioned, I think suggesting that they are 'no worse than today's great design' is not facing reality. There are some fantastic designs out there right no... | |
| Best U.S. made integrated tube amp under $2500? As to American-made tube integrateds, I think the VTL IT-85 and the Manley Stingray are great, and easily found used in your price range. As other posters have suggested, Cary and Rogue are also decent performers (in a number of models) in your pr... | |
| Has anyone tried Mark Audio cables Michael, Sufentanil, you are right. I misread that piece of info. I think it used to say "Member since" which is why I thought that. It was my mistake this time for not picking up on that.Jimqc, I hope I have not been too hard on you and on Marc A... | |
| Has anyone tried Mark Audio cables Jimqc,In that case, I thank you for sharing. I read the review, and yours, and looked under both "marc audio" and "mark audio" on google, ebay, amazon, and audiogon and found absolutely nothing; all this before I wrote what I wrote. The linked rev... | |
| Has anyone tried Mark Audio cables As much as people would love to think that a person who sets up an Audiogon account and has as their first and only post a comment glowingly recommend a new audio product which is not yet advertised on Audiogon, and indeed a company who has set up... | |
| Your feelings on vintage audio. Viridian, I have always been a tube guy until recently, and now I realize I am just a "if it really does it right, it really does it right" kind of guy. The items which turned me around were a 30yr old SS pre and headamp. |
