| pads for speakers on stands? AlbireoSound Anchor stands include round discs both sides of which have adhesive surfaces to secure speakers to their stands. They have uniform thicknesses which are an advantage over the thickness variability of Blue-Tak. I have used both and pre... | |
| I have Noticed.. How many Canadian Club shots have you downed before you entered this incomprehensible post today? | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists I visit Switzerland every year. I have yet to see a "happy" Swiss citizen. Try greeting a Swiss stranger with a smile. No eye contact whatsoever, and the greeter is treated as if invisible. I would not live in Switzerland if it were given to me. | |
| Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax I live in Connecticut which has one of the most repressive tax systems in the country. Seventy-six new taxes were added a couple of years ago, additional taxes were imposed this year, and there are more to come. All this while the Democrat politic... | |
| How important is customer service in your decision to pick an audio product (company)? Warranty, reliability, and customer service are of primary importance. Many years ago I had four NAD components in my system. All four components developed problems. Other brands had also broken down. Since then for over two decades, I have relied... | |
| Adcom - To modify or not? A modified Adcom will still be an old amp which is not made anymore. Even with the modifications the amp will not have much value on the resale market. I agree completely with Czarivey about the Bryston amp. For 25 years I have used Bryston amps w... | |
| RIAA eq standards - a deal breaker? Since you have appeared to have dropped your VPI Classic 3, why not have that repaired first if needed. | |
| Cable Upgrades or Better Components??? JPS cables. Just Plain Stupid, Read their ads. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? Instead of consulting forum members about audio, why don't you consult a grammar book. | |
| Help me spend $3000 on a used amp Bryston 3BSST2 if you are limited in space. Bryston 4BSST2 if you need the extra power and you have more room. Both amps are dual mono. At your budget,these amps can be obtained on the used market with many years of warranty remaining. Bryston upg... | |
| Whats a good power cord for the Sony XA5400ES? The best power cord for the Sony is the one whose IEC doesn't pull out when you breath on it. | |
| Ayre C-5xe-mp v Sony XA5400ES Who does that? Read Art Dudley's column in the latest Stereophile. He berates those audio companies that put $1,000.00 worth of audio components in a #2,000.00 box. Art appears to one of the clearest thinking, most honorable audio reviewers. I say... | |
| Ayre C-5xe-mp v Sony XA5400ES Not unusual for a company with high end pretensions to rebadge a more plebeian component. Either Stereophile or TAS ran a column about a Lexicon SACD player about which Lexicon claimed that its innards consisted of a highly modified and inproved s... | |
| Ayre C-5xe-mp v Sony XA5400ES Look inside the Ayre box, and you'll find an Oppo. The Sony has had better reviews for SACD sound than the Oppo. If you like listening to a pretty and expensive box, buy the Oppo. | |
| How do I smooth out violins? I can sympathize since I, too, have noticed that digital can be cruel to high strings. A good deal of this problem can be atributed to early digital recording techniques. I never buy a classical CD recorded earlier than the mid to late 1990's. Tel... |
