| Anyone compared any MIT Oracles to 850 CVT Refs? Thanks everyone. I currently have a Spectral DMA-150 Series 2 coupled with a DMC-20 II preamp. As you all know, the Oracles are quite pricey to say the least. What makes these cables upgradable, where all the other MIT stuff gets aoutdated almost ... | |
| Hobby, Hobby, Hobby? You're probably right. Hobby doesn't seem to do this addiction justice. When I think of a hobby(even the word sounds kind of cheesy), I think of gardening, model building, playing golf or taking part in some other sport just for fun. It's like the... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? I don't know if there's any more flaky buyers than there are sellers. I would think that anyone who lists equipment on this site runs the risk of getting bothersome questions and lower than expected offers. I don't care whether I'm buying or selli... | |
| Moral Dilemma You know, you're all sick bastards! Why take a still shot when, if you used a camcorder, you could capture the terror in his eyes going under for the last time, knowing that he could never again harm another human being. God Bless... | |

| A Wadia 860 Question. Good Morning Chris,If you have the metal remote that comes with the Wadia 860, look at the owners manual on page 10 where it explains the remote control operation and you'll see two buttons at the very top, located between the auto space on the le... | |
| Help with Avalon Opuses Hey Streetdaddy,I've got a pair of Opus, which I love..no they're not for sale! I use a Spectral DMA-150 with a Spectral preamp and I think they're great together. The build quality of Spectral is second to none and the 150 has plenty of power to ... | |
| Conduct on Audiogon Bink,It sounds to me as though you kinda got screwed, more mentally than monetarily. It's pretty pathetic when a guy who is selling something can't wait more than ten minutes for a reply, particularly when we're all trying to work in between norma... | |
| Is it worth upgrading the Wadia 860 to 861 specs? You can't blame the dealer for not letting you take his equipment home so you can evaluate the differences unless you were planning on having him do the upgrade if you were happy with the differences. I've owned four different Wadia players(23,850... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I learned many many years ago from a pro...my father. My dad just turned eighty four a couple of months ago and I swear to God he's still sneaking equipment into the house! I don't want to sound disrespectful to my wife because she excels in so ma... | |
| Avalon speakers,redux I previously owned a pair of Avalon Eclipse before buying a pair of Opus.If you've ever seen any pair of Avalons up close, I think that you'd agree that they have some of the finest finishes available anywhere. I had considered buying a pair of Ra... | |
| Wadia : what amp / preamp ? I use a Spectral DMA 150 and a DMC 20 II. I'm on my fourth Wadia player and have used this combo for all of them. | |
| New category for trades? I was just thinking more thoroughly after my first post yesterday. You'all are correct in the notion that as we trade up, many of us have other systems in the household that could stand an upgrade from time to time. I, myself, have accumulated odd... | |
| New category for trades? Sounds like a great idea to me. Inevitably, I'm trying to sell my current piece in the hope that my sale will finalize and I'll have all my funds to buy the new one. When I buy it's usually from someone going to the next level so it might be diffi... | |
| Shipping to Japan? Any advice? I just recently sold my Wadia cd player to a gentleman in Japan aftere he responded to my ad here on Audiogon. I was a little concerned because I had never sold and shipped anything out of the US. Our communication was great. He prepaid and wanted... |
