| Used speakers $7,000-$10,000 I know this might initially sound stupid, but there's a pair of Sony SS-M9ed for sale here. Check out some of the reviews. If I had the money I'd buy them.They never got the respect they deserve because of the 'Sony' label. They were US designed a... | |
| THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses? It doesn't matter what they're made of, the question is; How do they sound? | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? I didn't see him mentioned, maybe I missed it. There are lots of good drummers mentioned already BUT Cozy Powell did some great work with Rainbow and later with someone else that I can't think of now. During the 70's Barriemore Barlow was an outst... | |
| Changing the Wood trim color on 3.6 Maggies As a woodworking hobbiest, I would not attempt to strip, sand, and restain the wood without first removing it from the speaker. | |
| Isolation for speakers on spikes Generally speaking, soft items soften the sound, while hard items bring focus. I have used vibrapods, sorbothane pucks, brass cones, aurios bearings, and stillpoints.The best item I have found is the stillpoint bearing. They give the benefit of sp... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? The Cat 5 cable is fine as long as you don't care about the sound of the system and have about 100 hours to spend braiding the junk. It doesn't sound all that good and takes A LOT of time. Otherwise it's a great option. sigh, roll of the eyes, oh ... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? You cannot get performance from anything even close to the price and Purist was a huge success years before AudiogoN came along, or Albert porter began to sell them.The misinformation from Stanhifi continues to fly... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? Stanhifi, you have as much intelligent input to offer as Mapleleafs3. Between the comments the two of you make, the info should cancel out. NO ONE HAS EVER BOUGHT CABLE TO GRATIFY THEIR EGO!!!!!!!!!!!My current system is not up to previous standar... | |
| Cable isolators ??? Eldartford, I attatched the speedometer of my car to the speaker cable and ran a signal through it, but it didn't go any faster than when I had no signal running through it. | |
| Best speaker deals on Audiogon at the moment I am in the same situation so I can relate what I have been looking at lately. I have spoken to a number of people about the Merlins recommended by Usblues. I talked to the owner of the company, and was very happy with the comments he made about t... | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? You misunderstand the issue. It's not you whose status is called into question. Everyone who has a system is an Audiophile. The real issue is, anyone who spent less than you is mid-fi, at best, and anyone who spent even $1 more is a tone deaf idio... | |
| Moody Blues on SACD Finally Glad to hear new SACD material is still coming out. | |
| I am new to this so please be delicate with me... Pableson - what rubbish. That does nothing to help the person who asked the question. Just because something cannot be measured doesn't mean it is not true.Being new to this insane hobby makes responding to the question a little more difficult, be... | |
| Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables? I have not heard the new anniversary cables, but I have heard all of the other better cables that Purist makes. I only have one pair of Opis ICs in my current system, but even as expensive as Purist cables are, they are worth the money. People lik... | |
| Cable isolators ??? The dielectric characteristics of foam are much more invasive than ceramic. I have used teepees and ceramic in previous systems, and I like the ceramic better. Carpet is a dielectric that DOES effect the ability of cable to transfer signal. |
