| ________ is an artist I did not expect to like but was pleasantly surprised. I told my daughters that I could never listen to a group called "10,000 Maniacs" until I heard them. Now I have everything Natalie Merchant has recorded. | |
| Resale value cleeds,If you backpedal some, you’ll find that I never claimed that Audiogon ensures liquidity, only facilitates it. You may need to look up the definition of liquidity. This is my last post on this thread. The points I've made have been pretty cl... | |
| Resale value cleeds,Maybe you just bought the wrong equipment, or paid too much for the equipment you bought. You probably should have considered the resale potential before purchasing.If you don't see the similarity between the buying and selling of securitie... | |
| Resale value cleeds,I’m sorry that you didn’t agree with my analogy between the stock market and used audio equipment, but not agreeing with it doesn’t make it wrong. The stock exchanges don’t "ensure" liquidity, they simply facilitate it (very much like Audio... | |
| Resale value As I have said in a few posts, I think it is a mistake not to consider resale when purchasing equipment. It’s analogous to the stock market in that the bigger, more recognizable names make the product more liquid when it comes time to upgrade. Wel... | |
| Old JBL recones The name of that Berkeley JBL facility is Audivex. The phone number is (510) 527-1391. | |
| Old JBL recones Try contacting "Simply Speakers" on the internet. I have used their kits with success. Speakers can be re-coned without disturbing the voice coil, check it out. Also, just today I wrote down the address of a JBL Service Facility in Berkeley, Calif... | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? harold,I just sold my Luxman PD444. Thanks for reminding me what a mistake it was to sell it (LOL). | |
| Krell technical support FWIW, I had a Krell CD-DSP that I really liked. I stored it for a few years and it refused to play from the analog outlets after I retrieved it. Although it did work via the digital output, I decided to have it repaired by Krell. I called them and... | |
| Shopping for new speakers Obviously, you’re getting a lot of advice from members, most of them are recommending their favorite speakers which may or may not work for you. I have SF Electa Amators, driven by Classe 15, and have used them exclusively since early 1990’s. They... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Recommendations / Help You may be waiting awhile for those Extremas to show up here on Audiogon. I settled for the SF Electa Amators many years ago as the Extremas were just out of reach, though I have never regretted it. You didn’t mention your budget in your post but,... | |
| What are the best recordings in your collection? I suspect that by "recordings" you mean vinyl. However, since you weren’t specific, I’ll give my opinion of a favorite sounding rock CD that I feel has an uptick in resolution. That would be the "40th Anniversary" edition of Jethro Tull’s classic,... | |
| GARY BEDINI and JOHN BEDINI have passed on 11-6-16 That's a strange coincidence. Is there more to this story? | |
| Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation I read your story and empathize with your situation. Everything sounded so legitimate that anyone would have been fooled, so don’t beat yourself up. I read these stories too often here and it confirms my philosophy of cash and carry, whether buyin... | |
| What to do with audio Magazines I had hundreds of TAS, Stereophile, Audiophile Voice, Stereo Review, High Fidelity and the supplemental annual catalogs of "Recommended Components" from several of the magazines. I put them in boxes and sold them at a garage sale for a tiny fracti... |
