| DBX SF-150s, should I grab these? $25, and you have to ask? Probably a worthwhile investment. Sure, go for it! | |
| R.I.P. Dr. John Not Dr John. Say it isn’t so. What a shame! Very Sad. One of my all-time favorites is "Walk on Gilded Splinters." | |
| What's playing in your head today? R.E.M.- "Eponymous" album, specifically "Radio Free Europe." | |
| Thiel is offically going...going...gone. Auction Time Another one bites the dust. Very sad! | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. vinny55,Sure, put the R2Rs in museums. Those same criticisms can be made about other mediums as well. So what then, donate our tube equipment, cassette decks, turntables and CD players. To quote John McEnroe, "You can not be serious!" And then wha... | |
| Trouble joining "Insider"? Tammy reached out to me about this problem. Although I had reviewed my credit card info, the billing info didn't match our residence due to our recent move. I didn't even know Audiogon had my credit card info. She updated the info and I joined "In... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? R.E.M.- "Eponymous" I really miss those guys. We saw them live probably five times. | |
| OT: Watch Balance Wheels and Escapements Watches. mantel and wall clocks have always been a black box to me. Fortunately, I have a friend who owns a clock shop. All my watches keep "perfect" time (+ or -). If I were to upgrade, it would be a Breitling, or an Omega. | |
| Trouble joining "Insider"? donvito,I'm with you. I have tried unsuccessfully to get in touch with someone here at Audiogon. They seem very anxious to get "Insiders" but so far I have heard nothing back from my emails. As you probably realize, that was my motivation for star... | |
| What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard? Jorma Kaukonen, "Blue Country Heart." I lent it to someone and he never returned it despite many requests. He is a good friend who lost his wife to Cancer shortly after. I just couldn’t ask again. If I want it that badly I can always buy another o... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... It’s not, "...a sad world we now live in...," it’s just reality. So what if Walmart and Best Buy don’t sell CDs anymore. Who bought them there anyway? It should not come as a surprise that most of the CDs worth buying have already been bought. As ... | |
| Stax ESL loudspeakers servicing That link to ElectroStatic Solutions looks promising for repair of Stax speakers. Considering the rarity, expect to pay dearly. I would contact them in advance for estimates on replacement panels or rebuild before pulling the trigger on a purchase. | |
| Stax ESL loudspeakers servicing I’m a big fan of Stax and own two pairs of their headphones that I will never sell. However, I don’t believe they have made speakers for many (very many, I believe) years. I’m surprised you found a working pair. Since electrostatic panels have an ... | |
| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components Here is my cautionary tale on modifications. I bought a Denon 3520 CD player years ago. A friend offered to modify/update everything under the hood for $350. It made sense, so I agreed. After modification, it sounded wonderful. A couple months lat... | |
| My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!! My system includes a tube preamp and a s/s amp, and it has never sounded better. It's strange that I would notice this thread because this weekend I'm going to a store that has another preamp that I'm considering buying just for the variety. Just ... |
