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. 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"I ain't never been with a woman long enough, before my boots could get old,We've been together so long, they both need resoled,Never said that I love you, even though it's so, It's a good time for me to head on down the road"Heard It In A Love So... 
What is an Audiophile? Here's the list for newbies.
The title here sounds like a greeting card. 
nakamichi oms 2a cd ?
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! 
Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
Oh please, not another Tekton thread! 
Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio?
One of the above responses reminds me that my Lexus has the Mark Levinson sound system. In fact, it’s probably one of the reasons I bought the car. I won’t say that it doesn’t sound good but considering my high level of expectation, it’s a little ... 
Want my OPPO UDP-205 to sound as good as my Sony SCD-777ES
I’d be surprised if Sony stocks the laser you need. When my Sony SCD-777 failed, I bought a replacement on eBay and had a friend install it. No problem! Be prepared, as some lasers are hard to find and expensive. My Oppo 105D sounds as good to me ... 
Does anyone pay the same attention to their car audio?
We recently bought a new Honda CR-V. A CD player wasn’t even an available option. Apparently, some car companies believe that everyone has an iPod or MP3 player (they’re wrong). My older car has a CD player, cassette player and even plays DVD Audi...
