| Selling locally/Value questions If you’re a new "member" you should realize that selling gear here is done with an ad. All your info here lacks are prices, and it would be an ad. If other members email you to purchase your equipment, they’re doing it outside the usual Audiogon s... | |
| Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one? What year is this? We have lived in California and Arizona, in close proximity to Best Buy, and I was told years ago that BB was discontinuing CDs. It’s a matter of saturation. Are there really any CDs that you want that you haven’t bought already... | |
| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? There's a lot to consider here. Of course, there are companies of all size creating some great products. Since the choice is mine, I usually consider how easy it might be to sell a component when the upgrade bug hits in the future. I rarely change... | |
| What is a Servo Tonearm? Servo tonearms are not new, they have been around for years. The most familiar are the vintage Rabco, Souther, and the T-3 and T-5 Goldmund arms. They look like fun but are notoriously difficult to set up and maintain. Notice that only mega-buck t... | |
| Good reason to retain my 40 year old Crime of the Century UHQR? It's your call. If you haven't listened to it since you can't remember...sell it! Then, buy something you want now. | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? I'm not a big fan of TMR but they probably took the week off. It is the holidays, after all. Try to relax, I don't think they went out of business. | |
| current 2019 value of a mark levinson 9 If you're asking about a Mark Levinson ML9 amplifier, the Audiogon Bluebook lists the average as $1100...You're welcome! | |
| Classe 15 vs Classe CA200 Everyone has an opinion. FWIW, I use a Classe Audio DR-15 with an MFA Magus C tube preamp through Sonus Faber Electa Amator speakers. The combination sounds great to me. I wish I had bought that audio rack from "stereo5", I would really like to ha... | |
| Which amp is better for my system You can’t go wrong with a Classe 15, or DR15. They’re bulletproof. | |
| STAX SRM 007t That’s a decent combination to buy together. I would think the price should be around $2500. You will probably not be disappointed. To be clear, any line level output should work fine with them. Obviously, you need the 007t, or some other Stax amp... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable Definitely a gimmick! My Luxman PD-444 had a magnetically opposed spindle that effectively made it floating, but it was always attached not floating in space. Some will want this for the unique look, not for the performance. | |
| 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 ... |
