| Leslie West has Passed On Very sad...and just before Christmas. R.I.P. | |
| SuperBestAudioFriends This is the first time I have heard of this site. Is there buying and selling, or is it just a forum for discussions? | |
| Light weight headphones I have both the Audeze LCD-XC and Stax 009s. Both are heavy, which is the main reason for my short listening sessions. If I could find phones that sounded as good but were lighter, I'd be interested. I have owned lighter headphones but I'm just no... | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. My Consonance Droplet 5.0 CD player would be at home in any Art Deco listening room. It looks like miniature UFO. I recently bought a McIntosh headphone amplifier. You can’t tell me that the green glass and blue meters aren’t a factor in the purch... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? I feel the same about many of the folk and r&r artists of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s. I was listening today to Gordon Lightfoot’s album "Gord’s Gold". It occurred to me how sad it would have been if Gordon Lightfoot had not been here to write a... | |
| Vintage - McIntosh gear - repair/restoration. tjk3030I see that both of these units are now for sale here on Audiogon. If things work out, you won’t have to worry about them anymore. I do like the cabinets you had made for them. Both units would look better with the lights on. | |

| DAC finalist please help I have seen that Aragon D2A here on Audiogon for $599, so I think we're on the same page. This ad has been re-run a few times. Unfortunately, it is being offered for twice the Audiogon Bluebook price. That's typical for that seller. Also, that's a... | |
| Need help Lots of choices out there. For $500, I recommend used. Headphone users are as fickle as other audiophiles, and you should be able to find a $1,000 set for around $500. Without a headphone jack, you'll need a dedicated headphone amp, or at least a ... | |
| Looking For Best Headphones This question will bring you lots of subjective answers, so here is mine. There are no "Best" headphones for listening to music! I have listened to Stax headphones since the early 90’s. I currently have the 009’s. I love the electrostatic sound fo... | |
| A phono amp that beats the MFA Magus's phono? musiclover101,If you look back a few responses, you will find Scott Frankland's contact info. He is the "F" in MFA. Give him a call. He is very accommodating and may supply that schematic. I spoke to him a short time ago, so I believe he is still ... | |
| Just ordered a vpi avenger Unless you are an expert in setting up a table, I think it makes sense for them to set it up. I also think that the appropriate time to negotiate their services would be before you gave them the $10K. VPI Avenger is probably a good choice, just be... | |
| Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes As I look back at my list, I can’t believe I left off Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Jackson Browne, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Moody Blues, Van Morrison, CSNY...it never ends! I still feel like I’m forgetting someone. | |
| Bob Dylan sells his complete songwriting catalog! I agree with mapman, Dylan deserves it for a lifetime of great thought-provoking music. I doubt that he needs the money. He already has plenty of mine. | |
| FM Tuner for audiophiles-is it a bad idea today? I'm a long way from FM these days, mostly listen to Sirius XM in the car. If I do decide to get back into FM, I'll look for a McIntosh MR 78 or that Magnum Dynalab tuner with the gold faceplate. |
