| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet Any time you buy something in a private sale between individuals, there is an amount of risk inherent in the process. I have purchased most of my equipment used. Mostly on Canuck Audio Mart. No significant issues whatsoever. That being said, ma... | |
| Can an audio rack be that important? I’d say, like most things we buy, there is a minimum quality standard that should be adhered to. That being said, there are both acoustic and aesthetic advantages to be had if it’s in your budget. I built my own by repurposing some walnut furnitu... | |
| It’s it just me or there are others. @skchun Contrary to what others are saying, I think there is something to what you're saying, but I don't think it is something specific to female singers. Many artists have their greatest creative periods earlier, rather than later in their ca... | |
