| Negotiating when buying demo and used speakers from a dealer I agree with the others- I would try to negotiate, tactfully. Especially in the case of a trade in or private seller. I think many sellers will allow for some negotiating room, expecting a little back and forth. However, some don't and get all wou... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I'm 55 and have always had a system. I have actively bought and sold gear for ten years, but slowing down now and enjoying my music more. There seems to be a large number of gear manufacturers fighting for market share. This competition is good fo... | |
| Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV laurandy3-I saw your post on a Silverline thread I started some time ago. Thanks for your response. Crazy thing is, if I were explaining to someone what I wanted in a speaker, I'm not sure I could nail the Minuets. They are simply satisfying to me... | |
| Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV I have a pair of (original) Minuets in my bedroom system, too. They are amazing little speakers in my opinion. In my setup, they sound great at moderate volume and I listen to them for hours with no fatigue. Good to see other Silverline fans on he... | |

| SVS or Velodyne I have a SVS sound cylinder in my home theater setup. I like it for music and movies, but never tried it in my 2 channel system. Rythmik seems to be very well thought of around here, fwiw. | |
| Pls share your experience with Zu Soul or Zu in general I had a pair of Zu Druid IV for several months. I bought them second hand from a guy that had them a couple of yearsNever could get them to sound good in my room. They have a very loyal following but in my case weren't for me. I only used SS amps,... | |

| Obscure bands Arcam, glad you liked it! I have the lp of 'plug me into something'. I passed on an imported CD due to price and kick myself for it. Henry Gross has a website- you may drop him a line. He has other albums but 'plug me in' is my favorite. Good soun... | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Some of the older home theater preamps sell within your budget. Some are well thought of regarding two channel listening, and once sold for several thousand new.They are often sold due to no longer being up with the latest home theater technology.... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist I don't think we're supposed to use the term male or female anymore. It's offensive to some I guess. But most 'girls' I've dated like and enjoy good music. They didn't put a lot of energy into their setups but enjoyed mine. I gave my current girlf... | |

| LP storage? What do you use? Years ago record cabinets were pretty common. Some are nicely finished, some not so much. Some of the mid century modern units are beautiful to me, but of course can be pricey. I see a variety come and go on Craigslist. I have stacked cabinets (fr... | |
