| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? I've made two sales where the items arrived in non-operational condition. One was shipping damage due to my poor packing; learned a valuable lesson there. The cause of the second's malfunction wasn't evident. Both items were returned for prompt re... | |
| Reboot or Die? Let me know how that works for ya. I may try it also. | |
| Reboot or Die? Whack it harder! Seriously, that made me laugh as I have a similar issue with my Sony DVP-S9000ES and never did try beating on it. It's in a box waiting for me to decide what to do. I may get it out and relieve some frustration. | |
| Integrated amp with phone and headphone jack? I used a Kandy III in my system with Vandersteen 1Cs and then with Meadowlark Audio Shearwater Hot Rods for nearly a year. I won an ebay auction for a Son TA-F707es with a ridiculous low bid so I hooked it up to audition. Funny thing, I actually p... | |
| Best Value Speaker Model for the Buck? Used Vandersteen 1Cs are an exceptional value without question.For me though, it's a beautiful pair of Meadowlark Audio Kestrel IIs I got for $500. | |
| Integrated amp with phone and headphone jack? Roksan Kandy III is a very nice unit with those features. The Sony TA-F707es is another that is surprisingly good for the used price. | |
| Bose 901...really During the late 80s I was stationed in Greece where the houses/apartments were usually concrete walls. I had a pair hanging in a large room. The ceiling was parobably ten feet high and the speakers were more than six feet off the floor. Was I list... | |
| Bose 901...really As you said, it's not a room for reference sound. The Bose speakers have a great sound for parties. Your guests will love them. | |
| It was 40 years ago today..... Too lazy. You are correct though as far as emotional involvement. On the other hand, there are aspects the cd brings out such as Paul's gorgeous bass playing on "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" that aren't evident on the lp. | |
| Got the new Misty River cd yet? Four young women from Oregon singing some of the prettiest harmonies you'll hear. Reference quality recording. "Compelling, harmonic voices where folk, country and bluegrass converge into Americana." Worth a listen. | |
| It was 40 years ago today..... I've been thinking about listening to Sgt. Pepper all day! Even considering hooking up my turntable to listen to the vinyl copy I purchased sometime around 74 after wearing out the original lp I had in 68. Maybe I'll just listen to the cd while lo... | |
| Combining different speaker cables for bi-wiring? If you prefer the frequency characteristics of the different cables it makes sense to use them where they sound best. Some manufacturers use different wire gauges or materials in their cables meant for internal biwire to take advantage of those ch... | |
| Reference level playback Although your method wouldn't work for me because only 20% of my listening is serious, I'm watching this thread with interest. Maybe I'll learn something. | |
| Reference level playback I don't have any idea how many Audiogon members there are. I do know how many members never change their volume control setting. Before this post it would have been none, now it's one. | |
| nht bookshelf differences- sb0, classic, superzero I owned both the SuperOnes and the SB-3s. They were worlds apart. The SB series build quality and sound were far superior. From what I've read, the new Classic series seems to have jumped to another level. |
