| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? It appears that you’re right. I added my two cents about the Tekton thread yesterday, and the entire thread disappeared by the end of the day. The admins here probably don’t pull every negative thread, only when a particular product attracts an av... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? Remember that the porthole idea was brought to you by the same greedy minds that initiated the “Insider” club here on Audiogon. By now you probably realize that no amount of complaining on this forum will change it. Fortunately, there is a workaro... | |
| Where to get XLR male to male cable Your pictures support what you said. I can’t explain it. I did check the Tara Labs balanced cables that I used between my DR-6 and DR-15, and there is male on one end, and female on the other. I can’t explain the female output on your preamp. I ca... | |
| Where to get XLR male to male cable I’m no techie but I believe XLR cables are purposely made with a male on one end and female on the other. Check the labeling on your equipment, output on one component should go to input on the other. It may sound silly, but it’s an easy mistake t... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? Classic rock (from the 60’s and 70’s) works for me. What doesn’t work for me are all the TV commercials that rip off “classic rock” in the hope of snagging viewers for the products they are selling. | |
| Marty Robbins... “Big Iron” was one of his big hits, and my personal favorite. I like to put it in the CD player and hit repeat. I like it that much. If you aren’t familiar with the song, google it on YouTube. You’ll understand. | |
| Need to suggestions who can repair broken RCA input jack on Classe Audio DR-8 No need for an explanation, things happen. I love the old Classe products (DR-8, DR-9, DR-3 VHC), and wish that I had kept my DR-6 preamp. I agree that sending it to Classe in Canada is probably the best choice, albeit expensive. I would think tha... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? “Politics has proven that by the morons and lunatics that have been elected”Just FYI, the political rant belongs on another forum. Not here! It’s nice to know your political leanings, but I (for one) really don’t care about them. | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Exciting? Well, I suppose, unless you’re a high-end audio, brick and mortar retailer. At least the next generation of audiophiles will be able to spend a smaller portion of their income on decent sound. | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? For your sake, ignore the responses that tell you that all will be well if you entrust your equipment to movers. It simply isn’t true. Movers typically repack their truck with freight from multiple homes. They can even disassemble furniture to fac... | |
| HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ? Lots of opinions here, but very few from those who have actually heard the Hifiman HE 1000. Hearing is believing! If you don’t agree then that they are amazing, we can talk. The V2 revision probably even improved the sound, and user comfort. | |
| Your first component that was "special" I bought one of the first pairs of Infinity Servo Statiks from Woodland Stereo in the 1970’s. The crossover began to act up so I took it in to Walt Lewsadder, the owner of Woodland, who assured me that the folks at Infinity (Arnie Nudell) would re... | |
| Ok All you Schiit Eitr's Another juvenile product name from Schiit, as usual. | |
| Audeze LCD-3 Over Ear Headphones In general, as you move up the line you will likely get better sound at a higher price. I realize that sounds basic but it is usually true. Much would depend on your budget. You seem to have settled on the model in the middle of the range so, I’m ... | |
| Did Natalie Merchant support her cd "Leave your sleep" with a tour? I have been a big fan of Natalie Merchant since her days with 10,000 Maniacs. I’ve seen her live four times...always a great show. I don’t recall a tour for the “Leave Your Sleep” album but it’s OK if I’m wrong. I’ve been too busy the last few yea... |
