| Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT? On HT I am in the visual school. I have a Dukane overhead projector and I can really tell the differance between quality movies. the sound system is designed for music. The system is two channel and the DAC is in my Audio Aero Mark II CD player.I ... | |
| Which Classic Componets Would You Collect? Probaly classic tuners, much as Sugarbrie said. there are many. there are also some interesting outfits that will 'update' these tuners and you get the best of both. | |
| Tubed CD Player Another vote for the Audio Capitole Mark II. Buy it used on A'gon. If you don't like it, sell it at no loss.You won't sell it. You will be saying: "Another vote for the Audio Aero..." | |
| Pushing the envelope on B&W 802 series3 Avnut got it right. Play with the low-tech for now. try multiple positioning (move the speakers around a bit.)Relax. enjoy. Good stuff. | |
| Need Info: Just Picked Up a Fisher 600t The old Fisher stuff is really good merchandise. It is always worth more, much more than the $10.00. Keep researching. | |
| Tube newbie, Audio Research questions? To cross over to becoming a 'jar-head'; a tube guy is quite amazing. I have told this story elsewhere in A'gon, but I re-visit it. I had gone to a McIntosh dealer in the hopes of getting a domonstration of the SS 6-channel system. i was sold and r... | |
| How's This Sound ? - Cable Testing Well, don't neglect burn-in time. this is bizarre but is very valid. One kinda unusual thing to do is to run one set of cables on the left speaker and another on the right.Have your 'better half' change out cables and see if you can guess.If it do... | |
| Should Escrow be Required? I have only conducted two private purchases on Audiogon and my experience was stellar. In each case i did have a conversation with the seller.There are no guarantees and we are looking for something that does not have local dealer-reinforced guara... | |
| Whats the coolest sounding movie? To continue a bit with the last three posts, you should look into a home projector. One that can can do real good high definition. I have a Dukane projector and the picture is eight feet wide and the home movies are fantastic.And I can stop it for... | |
| scaler vs. doubler- what is the difference???? You will probably get some answers here that will suffice. Another good place to go is www.AVSFORUM.com. While you might not think many of the postings there are as thoughtful as on Audiogon, you will find many more threads along the 'lines'(oops,... | |

There a number of concerts that can come to mind. i also miss seeing the original Broadway production of 'HAIR'.I did learn an interesting lesson from a missed concert that made what i know now to be a rather profound change in my life. When I was... | |
| Does it matter what gauge power cord that you use? I don't go out of my way to buy heavier power cords, per se. I did buy an eight foot granite audio power cord a while back for the simple reason that I did not want to use an extension cord. I use it on my CD player and I do believe I can hear a d... | |
