| Leonard Cohen’s “Songs from the Road” sound issues edcyn,I checked my "Songs from the Road" CD and it shows 2010. Not that new! | |
| S.A.M. Turntables... "...there are a few AK members that have purchased them and are delighted." Good for them! hdcls should check out Audio Karma, but I wouldn't change a word of my comment. Tonykay | |
| JBL Synthesis “Bookshelves” dougey,Lots of opinions out here, everybody's got one. You say you've narrowed it down to three. My suggestion would be to look up dealers in your area (state) that can demo all three JBL models. Then walk, drive or fly there to hear them. Trust y... | |
| JBL Synthesis “Bookshelves” Try the reissued JBL L100. From all reports, you won't be disappointed. | |
| Advice on Selling Vintage Equipment Nice ad! All that's missing is your phone number. | |
| S.A.M. Turntables... I have seen those S.A.M. turntables for sale here on Audiogon. They seem too good to be true, for the price offered. That’s no disrespect to the manufacturer. If they can make and sell them for that price, OK. If it were me (and I’m not you), I wo... | |
| ...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market? Some do, some don't...that should be obvious! There are two economic factors at work; "supply and demand", and "the time value of money." A well-preserved pair of JBL L200, L300 or Paragon can be significantly more than the original 1960-70 price.... | |
| Fair price for a Yamaha RX-V1 I’ll give you one more good suggestion. Look around for a DAC. I added a Benchmark DAC1 (which can be found for cheap) to my Oppo 105D CD player and it made a huge difference. Most of my listening is through headphones. I was so impressed that I’m... | |
| Tekton Brisance I’m with you prof! This looks like another unsolicited, gushing "seems too good to be true" announcement about a new speaker from Tekton. Add it to the growing list. This is not an "outrageous comment," just my opinion and I KNOW that I am entitle... | |
| DACs with volume controls Since you mention that you have "little money", I recommend looking for a Benchmark DAC1. When introduced, they sold for $995 but today you can find them for a few hundred dollars. I saw one the other day on Craigslist for $200. And yes, it does h... | |
| 1st SACD Purchase My first SACD purchase was a pre-owned "Blonde on Blonde" (Dylan, as if you wouldn't know). | |
| Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters? One of my favorite Dylan SACDs is the Mobile Fidelity version of "John Wesley Harding". I have all the Dylan hybrid CD/SACDs but JWH is my favorite. | |
| US vs Japanese Beatles remasters As a teen, I bought my first Beatles vinyl as a US version. Wondering if there was a difference between US and the more-expensive UK albums, I bought a UK version. I found the UK vinyl to be superior to the US ones. The sound was so much more tran... | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. Politics aside, I’m a big fan of Bob Dylan and Jackson Browne although many of their songs are blatantly political. When I listen to music, I’m not listening to see if their song aligns with my own political views. If I did, I would undoubtedly ha... | |
| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? Try "Half-Price Books" if you have one in your area. You may not get much, but they hand you money and then you are done with it. If not, follow the advice above and try to sell them to a used-record store. |
