| 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. | |
| David Crosby-Here if you Listen-New Record I don't agree with him politically either but I'll look for this CD. I have always been a fan. | |
| Keeping Insider status I joined during the 50% 0ff promotion. Candidly, I haven't seen any benefit yet. If I cancel now, I'd probably see a $46 refund. I don't need the money that bad. I view it as a way to support the site. If the Audio Bluebook saves me money on one p... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch My advice would be to go with the company that has been around for decades and has an established dealer network. More importantly, if you ever decide to sell them you will find a market for them. Certainly, there are speakers that are cheaper, bu... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) Many years ago my interconnects consisted of manufacturer-supplied cables and lamp cord for speaker wire. I saw some Audioquest Ruby interconnects on sale and bought them. When I took them home and replaced my old cables I couldn't believe the dif... |
