| Your jaw dropping cables My only jaw-dropping experience with cables was thirty years or so ago when I replaced my manufacturer-supplied wire interconnect with an Audioquest Ruby IC. What a difference! I believe there is a magnitude of difference between cables worth hund... | |
| BluRay Player Recommendation I own a Pioneer BDP09 and like it a lot. I was surprised to see one available on Audiogon yesterday for $699. It was $2200 new. Someone will get a great deal! (No, I'm not the seller). | |
| DVD Player with Resume Where Stopped Feature My Sony DVP-9000ES does it. I did it yesterday! | |
| your ultimate posthumus rock band...horns included My favorite posthumous rock group is R.E.M. Hopefully, none of them will be deceased for a long time, but they have disbanded. I miss them already! | |
| Where is the attractive audio furniture? If you are looking for "mid-century...audio-friendly furniture," your choices are limited. You can buy a typical open-shelf stereo rack, a home theatre cabinet or hit the antique stores and find a cabinet you like and drill a few holes in the back... | |
| Audio stuff I've lost in my own home... About fifteen years ago I bought a Sony CD player with the beautiful Koa wood side panels. I needed to have some repairs done so I removed the wood sides for safekeeping. I put them somewhere in the house where they would be safe but forgot where ... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Nightfall,I have seen Spectral DMA-80 monoblocks (the pair) for half of your $4,000 budget here on Audiogon. If you're looking for new, then you're right, they are out of reach. Used is a different story. Afterall, you asked what I would buy. | |
| Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations? Samzx12,How long has your friend had the Cremonas? Perhaps they are not broken in yet. I have had my Electa Amators for about twenty years. Warm...rich...lush, that's my speakers. | |
| Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations? Something from the Sonus Faber line would be my recommendation. To see and hear them is to love them. | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Sorry to add to your dilemna, but I would add Spectral, Classe and McIntosh to your list of possibles. Your power needs and budget will dictate the particular model. All of these companies are still in business so you should be able to have them r... | |
| Exceptional value in speakers today? Value is a relative term. You might be wise to look for well-known company speakers that have been passed over by average, less value-conscious audiophiles. When you go to sell them you won't have to re-list them endlessly. I'm referring to compan... | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 Sorry, I just checked and it was on January 12. Seems like yesterday. | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 Didn't we have this same question yesterday? I guess everyone wants to upgrade their Rega tables! | |
| What can cause noise with my Wadia 381? HELP I agree with Tpreaves, those modifications are unique to the company that designs them. Years later when something goes wrong, it's nearly impossible to find someone to fix it. If you're lucky the company that did the original mods is still in bus... | |
| Want to downsize For me, WAF was the initial motivator. We looked at Quads but finally settled on Sonus Faber Electa Amators. I have lived happily with them for twenty years. The size mattered here, so smaller was more acceptable. I have never regretted that decis... |
