Manufacturers pushing their products and agenda in the forums.
“Fishy” is an understatement. These shill posts are way past fishy! They’re simply deceptive. I can’t be any clearer.

cleeds,It’s good to know where you stand. I reiterate that these thinly-disguised, manufacturer ads should be culled from the forum and they should either have to pay for the ad or have them deleted. Fortunately, they are easy to spot. Check out t...

I agree with much of what has been said above. What irks me are the unsolicited product reviews citing design philosophy, product dimensions, price and even finishing options, purporting to be just helpful info for members. I’m happy to hear argum... 
Cassette tape
I still have a cassette player (as part of the Levinson system) in my ‘09 Lexus. It’s one of the reasons I keep the car. I also listen to my Nakamichi RX-505 at home. I sold more than 2000 tapes last year, but I still have a few hundred (some stil... 
Audio racks
Looking through The Absolute Sound today I saw a 4-shelf rack from a name I recognized (can't name it right now. Prices start at $199. Looked like a nice rack. 
speaker repair
Considering their replacement cost, I have always thought that used Wilson Watt/Puppy combos are a bargain. After reading this post, I'm re-thinking that position. I have re-coned speakers in the past but I would look for professional help with sp... 
nakamichi oms 2a cd ?
It won’t hurt to try cleaning the laser or lubricating the sled guides. It’s your money. In the meantime, I would shop for a new player.

The title here sounds like a greeting card.

Don't blame the messenger, but I agree with jond that it sounds like your laser is failing. In fairness to Nakamichi, that's a very old machine. Enjoy it while you can, then just buy another player. 
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
I saw a picture today of the Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3 in the Absolute Sound. Good looking speaker, similar to EA 2. The stands had a round pedestal look that are not nearly as attractive as my walnut and marble stands.  
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
I completely agree that the Guarneri Homage are a bargain. Even at $10K-15K used, they are a lifetime investment. If you want a speaker that you will love to listen to, and always be proud of, the SFGH are for you. 
How to value a used CD collection?
I recently sold all of my MFSL records (many still sealed) for $50 each. Considering that I bought each for $13.99, I was thrilled. I just saw one of them for sale here on Audiogon for $175. I mention this as I have a ton of CDs that I bought for ... 
Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio?
I just have to say it, and I have no affiliation with this company. I have had XM Radio for fifteen years, and I wouldn't be without it. For what they charge, it's a huge bargain! Try it for a few months and I'm sure you'll agree. Lots of channel ...

Burmester for your car. WOW, now that's luxury!
