| A/V reciever advice I just bought a Yamaha DSP A-1 (gold w/wood sides) from another online site. I really didn't need it but... anyway, I bought it. It's like new and included the manual and remote in mint condition. The point is that technology has moved very fast a... | |
| Praise for excellent service from Oppodigital ZD542,No need to imagine. It happened! I still have a Mac MX-120 pre and an MC275 Mk6. However, my enthusiasm for Mcintosh products has diminished. You needn't defend McIntosh to me, I still have faith in their pre/power products. Reliability of t... | |
| Praise for excellent service from Oppodigital Contrast the above story with my experience with McIntosh. I purchased a demo MVP-871 (CD/DVD) from Magnolia A/V. McIntosh refused to warranty it. It failed almost immediately but Magnolia allowed me to trade in my P.O.S MVP-871 for a new Oppo 105... | |
| The Best Live album Pretenders, "Isle of View". I recently saw a live Pretenders concert on cable. In concert they sound exactly like their records, mostly due to the talent of Chrissie Hynde. She has incredible stage presence and never missed a beat. | |
| What is the answer? "Nglazer and Audiofetish are one in the same..." Why does anyone need two Audiogon accounts? What is the answer? | |
| What is the answer? Two different members with the same question on the same day. Coincidence? I don't think so! | |
| worst sounding great lps Phasecorrect, are you referencing "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull? If so, I strongly disagree! I believe there is a group called Aqualung, so maybe you mean them. JT's "Aqualung" is just an outstanding album in every way-including production. I have man... | |
| Secondary listening systems I believe that the simple reality is that most audiophiles are collectors who accumulate a lot of equipment. The easy thing to do then is set up a second system in a bedroom or spare room. It helps justify the expense, much like the rationale that... | |
| Anyone of you ever heard of Dissanayake? So, the purpose of this posting was not really a question but an opportunity to get the word out about this company. That's known as an "advertisement." Next time, just buy an ad! | |
| Stereophiles from late 1980s-early 1990s They are worth something. How much? That depends. I sold about 200 issues of Stereophile and Absolute Sound at a garage sale for $50. A woman bought them for her husband who had just retired. She said he needed a hobby. | |
| Recommend Used Stereo Shops in SF Bay Area I live in the SF Bay Area and used to visit all of the "used stereo shops" but most are long gone. You obviously want a quick sale or you would look for some other method of sale, like the online websites we are all familiar with. However, I know ... | |
| Harry Pearson FYI, there are a couple of thoughtful, sentimental farewell articles in the January, 2015 edition of "The Absolute Sound" about Harry Pearson. There are some anecdotes by the authors of their various encounters with him. My favorite one seems to s... | |
| Selling High-End Speakers You'll get more detailed responses than mine but I would start with a subscription to Audiogon Audio Bluebook to establish your price. Then, write your ad and wait for a buyer, or at least an offer. I wouldn't waste time on an auction. People lose... | |
| REM by MTV We're big R.E.M. fans here and were very sad to see them break up. We saw them about six times and they were perfect each time. My favorite video is "Perfect Square-Live" in Weisbaden. I knew most of their history but enjoyed hearing them retell i... | |
| Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA Sorry to be cynical, but this looks like another shameless ad disguised as a review. All it lacks is a picture. |
