| Favourite Guitar CDs It depends on what kind of music you like. One of my all-time favorites is Larry Carlton's "Alone But Never Alone". If your preference is flamenco, then you might want to give a listen to Govi's "No Strings Attached"(somewhat of a compilation of a... | |
| Acoustic Alchemy - Radio Contact I've been a Acoustic Alchemy fan since their first album, "Red Dust and Spanish Lace". I bought Radio Contact a couple of weeks ago and I've listened to it many, many times and I think it's excellent. I own AArt too and it's also another of my fav... | |
| Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one It really depends on a couple of factors. I recently shipped a 305lb crate of Avalon Opus from SC to Illinois and used Bax and they couldn't have been better to deal with. Great service, very professional, and extremely courteous. I would have had... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? I vaguely remember it being a 45 of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman". Even way back then, that falsetto voice was really something. I think that I played that thing so many times that I wore it out! I bought a "Best Of" a month or two ago and surprisi... | |

| Best Wadia CD Player, rate performance 1-10 Boy, I've owned a bunch. The first was a 23, sounded good, built very well, and was my entry point into the world of Wadia(7/10). Moved up to a new 850. Wow, what a difference. Build quality excellent, sound better(8/10). Wanted more..traded up to... | |
| Wadia 861 remote questions? Hopefully you will never have a problem with the remote other than dropping the heavy sucker and breaking your toe, the coffee table glass top, or knocking out your family pet. I own an 861 and it appears as though the complete upper section conta... | |
| Amp Stand Recommendations Please I own a pair of Tenor 75WIs and I had them sitting on a hearth without any additional stands. I recently purchased a pair of Zoethecus amp stands and not only do they look spectacular, I swear the Tenors sound better as well. My stands happen to b... | |
| Anyone with kids should see this... Just say NO Here I was expecting to see something "R" rated. Boy, was I disappointed! I guess it really was "R"abbit rated...thank God he didn't eat into those $3k Nordost Valhalla ics. How do you spell hassenfeffer? | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase If I were as good a salesman as my wife believes me to be after making all these phenominal deals, I probably could go out and buy anything I wanted to because I would be so wealthy that spending a mere $3-4K would just be chump change. But honest... | |
| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue Those of you that know Jonathan and how well he represents his industry and his customers would understand why guys like Mike and Dale willingly came to his rescue. I've never had the pleasure of meeting any of them in person, but I am a customer ... | |
| What's your favorite instrument to listen to.... Most instruments played well are truly a pleasure to listen to, but the one that comes to mind that moved me the most is a cello. Pianos, violins, guitars, and saxes are all great, but a cello takes the top prize for me. I don't know if it's that ... | |

| Linn LP12 Black Felt Mat How do you keep it on ? I've owned a Linn LP-12 for more years than I can remember, but the one thing I can remeber is that the felt mat comes off with each and every album. I've always believed(and maybe mistakenly so) that if another mat worked better, they would have ... | |
