| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? They can't hear the difference and aren't interested in trying to hear a difference. | |
| Anyone else feel left out? There are plenty of solid recommendations so far. I would suggest looking through the budget systems listed on Audiogon. I have downsized and simplified to suit a small dedicated room and am extremely satisfied with what I'm hearing. My system is ... | |
| Need complete stereo help starting with preamp I agree an integrated amp is the way to go for simplicity and value. Over the last few years there have been a few integrateds in my system. The Audio Refinement Complete is a beautiful sounding amp but has no phono section. I am now using a Roksa... | |
| A big thanks to Thiel Thiel customer service was wonderful to me also and I even told them I bought my speakers used. | |
| "Audiogon" Music Reviews at last Well done, I'll mark it as a favorite for future looks. | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? Panderso, It's probably the old hippie/commie in me that balks at spending $10K or $20K for a piece of audio gear. But I admit the world would be a less interesting place to live if everyone were satisfied as simply as me. And what would Hi-Fi rev... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll It depends on how long something has been listed. If I am early to respond and price is ggod I'll give asking price. If on the other hand, an item has been lingering because price is too high, I'll offer accordingly.Most of my sales have been item... | |
| How frequently do you check Audiogon listings? At least once per day. I'm an impulse buyer and have learned not to hesitate. There is a discretionary reserve in my paypal account so I can offer immediate payment. It's what I like to see when I'm selling. | |
| Monitor suitable for wall placement at $400 used? You should look into the Polk Audio RTi series, 25s, 28s, 35s, all sound good for the money with no problem against walls. | |
| Is there any hope for my room? How solid are the surfaces? I moved my system into a room with paneling once and lost all bass reproduction. Moved it back into room with standard drywall and bass returned. I think the paneling flexed instead of reflected low freq. I'm sure someo... | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? I like that advice Reubent. I have owned three different cd players that retailed for twice the cost of the NAD but preferred the NAD. All of them resold on Agon. Soon after discovering Audiogon my wife was wondering what was up with all the UPS d... | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? Well I was hoping for philosophical answers and that's exactly what I got. As stated before, although my system is moderate by Audiogon standards it is musically satisfying to my ears. Think I'll keep it as it is for a while. Or maybe a new cd pla... | |
| Please help--my ears are hurting Excuse me but is the cd player the only change you've made? Are you the only person who hears the nastiness or is it identifiable by someone who isn't an audio enthusiast? If so, that is where I would suspect the problem lies. If you are dissatisf... | |
| Best CD player...for ME ; Unless you are insisting on new the Audio Refinement Complete might suit your taste. I owned the Alpha version andfound it very warm, easy to listen to. They usually sell used in your price range. Good luck. | |
| Which amp and CDP for around $1200? You might investigate the Roksan Kandy MkIII integrated. Very well reviewed by the British press and one of the most versital amps out there. Headphone out, phono preamp and two preamp outs as well as remote control. |
