| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? I never offer an opinion unless asked. If asked, and I find whatever it is that they are asking about to be wanting, I start a conversation by asking them about how they went about their choices and decision making. That leads into “what about... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mihorn That link to two speakers placed …. In a parking lot? You are kidding me, right? | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @larryi Regarding the MoFi one step. I had been buying MoFi releases for a decade or so. I personally found that they were not always better than if you had a well cared for original pressing. At one point, I found that the sound quality had d... | |
| When I listen to my system....... @mihorn “Artists don’t know…” THAT is a remarkably arrogant statement. I have many friends who are professional performing and recording artists, incl my own daughter. I assure you they know what they are listening to. One is so tuned in to t... | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I was sorta gratified to once read in … the absolute sound or stereo review, I forget which ….. that the reviewer felt that the Futterman OTLs that I own are among the 5 best amps of all time. But really, I read reviews these days mostly for enter... | |

| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? I can’t believe it’s not butta. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL For what it is worth, and this is for the folks here that are sneering at the Shure V15 Type II, …. I know an engineer who builds much of his own gear - speakers, amps etc - and who has 5 Grammys sitting on his fireplace mantle who says that he fe... | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Didn’t someone say that the only thing to fear is fear itself? Trust your ears. | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? I’m sorry but it’s not a question of minimum amount. It’s about the bang for your buck that you get from carefully shopping for second hand or floor models. | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. I have a daughter who is a professional musician. She is also a fashion trendsetter. She has never been interested in my advice. I suspect that though your daughter may be neither of these things, she is moving into a new apartment, signalin... | |
| Time for a new cartridge I have a Benz H2.0 that I will be putting up for sale. It’s been refurbished and retipped by VDH and has had little to no use since. I'm also thinking of selling a Koetsu rosewood signature. Contact me directly if you think these might wor... | |
| The best customer experience I've ever had...... Mine was with Harry Weisfeld when he told me to save myself $4,000 and upgrade my VPI HW 19 Mk II to a IV instead of buying a new Classic. He took $4,000 out of his pocket and put it in mine. That's amazing. | |
| Turntable suggestions for a newbie I bought the VPI HW 19 Mk II with a Sumiko MMT arm and a Koetsu Black in 1985 from Sound By Singer. I was going to upgrade to a VPI Classic around 2010, but Harry (Weisfeld: the "HW") told me that for $800 to $1,000, I can save myself $4,000 by s... | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? — Speakers technology changes. Component matching has never gone away. — Horns go with tubes. — My beef with Magico is that quality sound should not cost more than the GDP of Italy. Oy vey iz mir. |
