| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? My first "audiophile" amplifier was a Sansui AU-9500 that I purchased in the early 70's. I loved everything about it, right down to the feel of the knobs and switches. I can't remember what I paid for it. Perhaps around $650 CDN, but today they a... | |
| Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome? @kletter1mann Option 1: A dedicated room, away from your significant other, that you can disappear into and is solely under your control. Option 2: Wife approved total house sound system that doesn't meet your expectations. Option 3: Sorry, th... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? "Kiln House" by Fleetwood Mac | |
| Probably a dumb question US Audio Mart has all the mentioned brands for sale as of today. Both USAM and Hifi Shark have the ability to notify you when a brand becomes available. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport @jasonbourne71 "I already have on hand a Denon, a JVC and two Sony's (DVD and Blue Ray) players for use as transports." Not sure why you have four transports if they are so good, but I am jealous. Not often that one can be happy shopping for a... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? @carlsbad2 Thanks Jerry. I have come to that exact conclusion. It's like cooking. Sometimes it is best to resist adding that extra teaspoon of salt. Appreciate the common sense advice. Tony | |
| Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts? @jeffseight No offence, but anytime you ask a group of people a question, you are going to get a range of responses that will run the gamut from helpful to hurtful. To think that some site will have only like-minded and like-mannered people par... | |
| I can't go for that. Hall & Oates in their hay day's were fabulous. So many hits that have aged very well. I miss '60's and early '70's soul/R&B so much. Al Green, Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Little Stevie Wonder, The Jacksons, etc.. If you can sit still lis... | |
| Does It Hurt.... @yoyoyaya "If you are not going to use the redundant channels you would do better selling the receiver and getting a proper two channel amp." Not really. I am in the same situation, with my Anthem AVR only used to power my centre channel and on... | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! If you are diligent, there are deals to be had on almost anything, but usually it requires a healthy does of dumb luck. | |
| Does It Hurt.... It doesn't hurt the unused channels, but their self esteem does take a beating. No one likes to feel like their existence is meaningless. | |
| Turntable recommendation Why bother? If you are happy with streaming, why would you want to commit to the expense of building a vinyl option? A good turntable is expensive. A good cartridge is expensive. A good phono amp is expensive. Building a vinyl collection is ve... | |
| Surge and Conditioning Is it mandatory with McIntosh owners that they always buy McIntosh products? There are plenty of high quality power conditioners that don't involve paying a premium for the McIntosh name. | |
| A Serious Subwoofer Sorry, but this is one of the silliest endeavors I have ever seen. | |
| Why do we listen to sad songs? Interesting article! Sorry, but I am not paying to read it. Perhaps if you could cut and paste some excerpts from the article. |
