| The dumbest stereo experience ever! If you read my recent post about selling my Technics SP-10 MK II, then you know that someone offered $1300 for it, despite my $800 asking price. I sold it instead to the first caller for $1,000 (stupid me!). The irony is that shortly after that I ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? With a member name of porsche and a $25K analog budget, you’re way out of my league. However, to answer your question, "Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on a hi-end turntable?," I would say that $10K is about all I want to spe... | |
| Help me find value for Technics SP-10 Direct Drive Turntable No, just locally. I don’t want to be bothered with shipping or waiting for a check to clear. I prefer local cash and carry transactions.I just re-read your post and realize it doesn't include an arm, base or dustcover. Obviously, you'll have to ta... | |
| Help me find value for Technics SP-10 Direct Drive Turntable Maybe I can help. I recently sold a Technics SP-10 Mk II. It didn’t belong in the Smithsonian, but it had documentation for the table, arm, obsidian base and even the cartridge frequency readout, plus it was in the original box. Anyway, I listed i... | |
| Albums of signgle artist or band that have every tune HIT Who could forget Michael Jackson's "Thriller?" Definitely fits the criteria! | |
| Albums of signgle artist or band that have every tune HIT I agree with all of the above selections, especially "Every Picture Tells A Story," "Who's Next" and the Brian Ferry albums. Let's face it; if it's an artist you like and you listen to it at a hundred times, then every song is a hit. Unfortunatel... | |
| Selling? Grannyring,Thanks for the ridiculous comment. It's nice to know that you are here to, "...help others with our collective experience and wisdom," whether they ask for it or not. Re-read stanwal's post and learn something. | |
| Selling? Look, I don’t want to argue about this, but stanwal isn’t asking for help in determining what price to sell his CJ350. If you re-read his post, you’ll see that he is simply cautioning sellers not to accept an unsolicited lowball offer, especially ... | |
| Refurbished vs New Sony used to offer "Refurbished" units at their outlet stores. Refurbished, it was explained to me, meant that it didn't pass the original quality control criteria and was removed from the assembly line. Those units were then gone through by techn... | |
| Selling? An item is only worth what someone will pay for it. Remember, this was an unsolicited offer! The seller has a right to ask whatever he wants for the CJ 350. If the buyer doesn’t see the value, for whatever reason, no one is going to force him to b... | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? If the seller didn’t ask for Paypal fees in the ad, then you’re under no obligation to pay them. If you paid half the fee...good for you, but you had no obligation to pay and the seller has no right to ask. That’s the simple answer! | |
| Corner loading/left louder ? arcticdeth,I have the same phenomenon due to speaker placement, and it bothered me. Take gdnrbob’s advice and do what I do; simply adjust the balance. Fortunately, my tube preamp allows me to adjust the volume for each channel plus a L+R main volu... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues So, you're now being asked to pay for repairs to a unit that cannot be repaired due to structural damage? Clearly, the damage occurred after it arrived at CJ, and likely after it was repaired initially and was being staged for shipment. As swampwa... | |
| Headphone or Rig? The Stax phones, with a tubed Stax driver unit, are fine for now but I can see a Blue Hawaii setup, or Woo Audio WES, in my future. The problem, of course, is that they never come up for sale on the used market. Even if they did, they would sell i... | |
| Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature Dylan lyrics probably are not for everyone, as has been made clear by this thread. Seeing so many posters rag on Dylan just confirms my belief that there are more horses' butts in this world than horses. |
