| What time do you wear? Bringing back an old thread, I was looking for something else and stumbled upon this one(seeing as there are many new members who may have missed this one) watches they are another one of my passions(cars, women and audio are the other ones-in no ... | |
| advice before my head explodes... Kelly- You sick audiophile you! Can't someone just have there head explode in peace and quiet with out the fear of having it broadcast on the net!! In any case if it makes it to the net I would like to see it.I agree with everything everyone said ... | |
| Should Speakers come first in a gradual upgrade? Gil-I will not waste your time with audio non-sense! But I do know another AudiogoN member who is in the armed service, he uses the moniker Pcc(his name is Pete), though he has not been here in a while. He and I are fairly good friends, despite ne... | |
| Thoughts on Placette Preamps? I am in a similar situation, I have a VK-60 powering Avalon’s, and seriously considered the Placette passive pre. Though I decided that the 80% more was not justifiable just to use balanced cables, I have heard only good about these unit and with ... | |
| Is there any "volume attenuater" There is a placette passive pre which is highly regarded by many, albeit more money then most of these other set-up’s, around $1400(if memory serves me correct). Best part is, it is professionally built so there is less chance of human error, also... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I have been to the dealer in Binghamton you are referring to, I was wondering if I missed something, I guess not. I have a very respectable system(60k+, only 20 years old-me not the system), I have heard lots of gear, and I thought that it(Mc) loo... | |
| Rogue m-120 monoblocs any opinions ? Avivey- We have been through this too many times on this thread for me to repeat myself, go back and read all of my posts. More then one attempt was made to contact Rogue, I am too busy during the day to make personal phone calls, so email tends t... | |
| Two great seminars this fall Glad this popped back up onto the My Threads section, I still need directions!!! Got to call Mario today. | |
| A reasonable integrated w/ remote - possibly tube? Check out the Pathos, Classic One. An incredibly good looking int. amp, may not be what you are looking for, but many people say an awful lot good about them rated at 50x2, tube and great build quality. Enjoy the hunt-Tim | |
| What is the name of your system. Mine is either referred to as simply “the rig” or including its room it is known as “my/the underground lair”. | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? My NBS Monitor 0 speaker cables, the best deal going! Just kidding! I'd have to say my BAT VK-60, bought it used for 2K(or so) and I don't think much can come close to it until you hit the 5k range(used). I have had great luck with products from N... | |
| Any SACD players with variable ouputs? On a slightly more obtainable level, you can have a Sony DVP-s9000ES upgraded with a step attenuator, not by any means in the same league as the accuphase set up but seeing as it would be more then 26k less, I felt it was worth mentioning. I was n... | |
| Audiogon Arnie & Rod M., AA Kudos by STPH. WOW!! That‘s amazing, way to go to all of those involved. It is amazing how humans come together and help each other in a time of need. Similar to when this first happened and the world donated so much blood that they told people to slow down a bi... | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? Yes indeed power cords do make a difference, maybe some folks systems are not high enough resolution to pull the extra detail out of the upgrade. The question is, are they a good value? Most major power cords have less then $100 of materials in th... | |
| Which Front Projection DLP has the quietest fan? I also have a sharp LCD projector and the noise from the fan is similar to that of a chanuck. I know exactly what you are talking about and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to get rid of the sound of air moving. I don’t think it is a vi... |
