| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. I now buy mostly used components and I can’t agree more with buying from a reputable dealer, preferably one with a brick and mortar location. My only bad experience had to do with a failing DAC, not with the dealer. I bought a used Theta Gen V DAC... | |

| Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile? How this forum keeps getting hijacked into politics is a mystery to me. It's ridiculous! I could not care less what speakers Carl Bernstein has, or any other celebrity for that matter. | |
| Interesting development Many years ago, Mobile Fidelity had a retail outlet in Sebastapol, CA. We visited and purchased many favorites at $13.99 each. A few years ago, I sold them to a used record store dealer for $50 each. He was thrilled to get them, and I was thrilled... | |
| “Marks on the underside” Everything has been said, but I do agree with geof3. I have never looked at the underside of any piece of equipment that I have bought on Audiogon. Who does that? | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album Elton John-"Tumbleweed Connection" and "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" Both are great albums, a little dated, but great! | |
| HEADPHONE CABLE pastorbob,Can you recommend a high-quality headphone extension cable? I have the Audeze LCD-XC phones. Just two 1/4" terminations (one male, one female) will work. Kimber doesn't make a KCAG extension cable for headphones as they claim the cable i... | |

| Getting paid If you are a member here, Audiogon has the information he will need. If anything more is needed, don't worry, they'll ask for it. | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) In the "New Today" listings, there is a pair of Sonus Faber Extrema speakers. They are asking $11,500. Seems high relative to their age (1990s) and original MSRP (around $10K). However, if you make these your own, you will never need to look for a... | |
| 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... |
