| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's Just one last comment. Not all "original albums" are the same. I recall that, as a teen (in the 1960's), I always bought the UK versions of Beatle records as they simply sounded more natural, without the pumped up bass and exaggerated treble of th... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Wow, another never-ending thread! No surprise, there are as many opinions here as members. Just remember, opinions are like...well, you know, and everybody has one. If you start with the Walker table (as some have recommended), you still need to c... | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's I believe the Beatles management is now in the "milking mode" of material previously unreleased by the fab four. The one thing that becomes clear as I listen to raw takes is the magic that George Martin brought to the finished product. Don't misun... | |
| audio :the crazy room where they DONT WANT YOUR BUSINESS Your statement is thought-provoking, but you need to give some detail or you will just get these amusing responses. The dealers in this hobby can often be pretentious jerks, but to say "especially if you're older" just doesn't make sense, because ... | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND This thread only confirms that there are scammers everywhere. There are a lot of ridiculous responses posted here. Look, the guy got ripped off and he's upset. Who wouldn't be? He's just trying to warn you so you don't repeat his experience. He ad... | |
| Are codex isn't working with Oppo when playing Blu-Ray As good as the advice is here on the forum, try calling the manufacturer. They usually have experience with similar problems and can offer a solution. It doesn’t make sense to keep trying DIY solutions, and you may end up doing some damage. I had ... | |
| My Audio Research experience What a nightmare experience! I have read so many glowing reviews about the stellar performance of ARC products that I have had high regard for their products. I guess I’ll have to rethink that Reference preamp and Classic 120 tube monoblocks that ... | |
| Cassette Deck?? otherone,I know how much room those 2000+ cassettes take up. I just sold my 2000+ cassette collection collection with a ZX-9. I'll miss them but I still have a small collection to use with my RX-505. If you no longer listen to cassettes you should... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? I bought a McIntosh MX130 preamp here on Audiogon several years ago. It had an audible hum that was not heard through the speakers. Someone on this forum suggested using sorbothane feet to reduce the hum. I did, and it worked! I also loosened the ... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. Dover,You must be an accountant. One that always sees the glass half empty. Considering that these records survived the stock market crashes of 2000 and 2008 without a loss, the 5% return was consistent with my municipal bonds. Also, since I sold ... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. Several years ago, I visited the Mobile Fidelity retail store in Sebastopol, CA (now long gone) and bought several albums right out of the display bins for $13.99 each. I kept them sealed for about twenty five years, and recently sold them to a re... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? "Now the music industry wants us all to support download music and music servers and abandon the CD as a medium. Is that in our best interest, or theirs?" (My quote)1. Nobody’s putting a gun to your head and making you switch formats. (sfall's r... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? CD is dead...according to much of the mainstream audio press. Could it be that most music buyers have filled their collections with every CD title that appeals to them? Now the music industry wants us all to support download music and music server... | |
| Absolute Sound - do we really need another review like this? Thanks for chiming in. What would we do without your ability to correct all of the hyperbole and misstatements made here on the forum? | |
| Any Programs to Download to make Oppo 83SE and 105D Region Free Why not just call Oppo and ask for a solution? They are very customer friendly and don't care where you you bought the unit. Sometimes, these quick-fix solutions can do more harm than good. |
