| 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... | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? I mentioned that Sonus Faber Extremas rarely come up for sale. I dropped in to LMC Stereo in Scottsdale, AZ yesterday and there they were. They were around $10K when introduced in the 90’s. The new version are $70K (new, $65K used). They are gorge... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Harvey Mandel, who made "Cristo Redentor" in the 60’s. We remember! | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? I almost never see Sonus Faber Extremas for sale here on Audiogon, or anywhere else for that matter. | |
| V. Morrison Moondance reissue vs 2nd press what is the fascination with digital on vinyl? I also have the Direct Disk Labs version and I consider it a treasure. You can really hear the difference. | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Someday, I'll buy those Klipschorns...someday! | |
| Is this the real life, or just death on 2 legs? What’s not to like? Bohemian Rhapsody was a great movie, but clearly Hollywoodized. My wife loved it! The lead actor probably deserved the Oscar. I was never a big Queen fan but I enjoyed the movie. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? I have always thought of "High Tides, Green Grass" and "Through the Past Darkly" as greatest hits albums, or compilations. But, both contain most of my favorite early Stones songs. I should have included them in my recommendation. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? For the Stones, my favorite albums are “Between the Buttons,” “Flowers,” and “Exile on Main Street.” I found the UK versions were the best. | |
| Looking to get into Sonus Faber on a budget... Is it worth it? Considering your budget, definitely go used Sonus Faber. Don’t be afraid to look at older models. My Electa Amators were about $5K in the early 90’s (including stands), and go for around half that today. They still look and sound as good as the da... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash I bought a Nakamichi ZX-9 cassette player from the original owner and it had an upgraded IEC Kimber Kable power cord. The cord had a short if put in a particular position. I called Kimber and they asked me to send it to them. When I contacted them... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash This is a very helpful thread. Although these could be just isolated, one-off experiences, it gives some insight into your future if you purchase from certain manufacturers mentioned. I would not have expected those experiences with well-respected... |
