| New Music Direct catalog... The link from mofimadness has candid photos of Joni and friends...and plenty of them. I’m glad I took the time to follow it. It’s worth a look! | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP almarg, I picked "GE" up from the response by stereo5. My comment about GE is certainly valid. I can't verify whether GE makes any stereo-related products and its not worth combing the shelves at Best Buy to find out. Thanks for pointing out that ... | |
| Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide Wow, this is a truly well-written post, and history lesson about the Aerial 10t. It’s also the epitome of the phrase, “tempest in a teapot.” This many years later, considering the effects of inflation, does it really matter whether the MSRP was $5... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP Paulcreed, I get it. You’re right, there often, depending on geography, isn’t much to buy locally. We moved from the SF Bay Area, which is full of audiophiles, to Arizona, where audiophiles are few and far between. My point was that people rarely ... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP Stereo5, all you need to do is check the GE stock price. Today it’s trading around eight. Several years ago it was $60, a few years ago it dropped down to $30, today it’s $8+. It’s going in the wrong direction for a successful company. My belief i... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP stereo5’s suggestion to only buy equipment manufactured by large companies is a good one. I would eliminate GE, as it's on the ropes. I also agree with the idea of buying a plane ticket to visit the place you sent your amp. Finally, my solid recom... | |
| Sansui 2000A Vintage receiver question I don't know if this will help, but my first piece of stereo gear back in the 70's was a Sansui 3000A receiver. It would blow the fuse about every other time it was turned on. As I began to upgrade, I passed it to my dad. He contacted Sansui and t... | |
| How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer? I bought an MC 275 from Magnolia several years ago as a "customer return" that was taking up space in the central warehouse. I bought it, but when it arrived it was brand new-not the customer return. I thought that the retail was around $5500, but... | |
| I had a thread just disappear... So, what do you know, you got it posted anyway. Thanks for getting the word out. | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? Of course I would replace it. Were you thinking that I might throw away (or donate) my SACDs? I don't keep things around me that don't work. No need for a long-winded reply. | |
| Stax amplifier vs Stax adaptor Interestingly, I followed the same path as “almarg.” I bought a pair of Stax Lambda Pro headphones in 1990, powered by the Stax SRM-1, Mark 2 (with the ED-1 equalizer). At some point, I sold all that and upgraded to Lambda Signatures, with a Stax ... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Find a pair of refurbished vintage JBL L100. You'll never look back. | |
| WAF Speaker suggestions Take a look at stand-mounted speakers from Sonus Faber, made in the 90’s. Electa Amators would be my choice. You can probably pick them up for $2-3000. High WAF. Be sure they include the marble and walnut stands. | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? Try to remember that this forum is about stereo equipment, and the sound it makes. This is NOT a political forum. If you ignore that and make political comments, you run the risk of having your comment deleted by the moderator. That's how it shoul... | |
| In praise of moderation Tammy is one of this site's biggest assets. I hope that never changes. The chat feature (may only be available for Insiders) is a nice touch. |
