| Fee for home audition Gents, I’ll comment once again that the dealer, being in the business, should possess the knowledge (including people skills) to make it go right in MOST situations. I’ll also state once again that I wasn’t there. Therefore, I don’t know the dialo... | |
| Fee for home audition It seems the consensus my some here that the dealer is the bad guy, and the customer is the good guy. I’d just like to interject a question: Did the dealer let the customer down? Or, did the customer let the dealer down? I wasn’t there. When th... | |
| Fee for home audition It’s been said that the magnitude of what happened during the first second after the Big Bang is greater than what happened in the billions of years afterwards. I wasn’t there, so I have to take someone else’s word for it. I’ll like to suggest th... | |
| Fee for home audition Tales from the Dungeon of Customer/Dealer Exchanges Customer 1: A customer visits the store and shows an interest in upgrading a current component. After a nice demo and quality time spent, the customer expresses an interest in the item. The dea... | |
| Fee for home audition @ghasley It was good to see someone with actual dealer/customer experience share their observations related to the dealer in question. The more important comments for the OP would have been not such much an invitation to "pile on this dealer", b... | |
| Fee for home audition I once read a church reader board that stated: "A Good Friend Stabs You in the Front" At least the dealer was forthcoming about the rules of engagement and gave you the opportunity play, or not play -- upfront. Your call. | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! 10AWG is a good choice for high end audio equipment. It also provides the additional benefit of allowing you to plug in an extension cord and charge your Tesla when your system is idling in the "standby" mode. | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition Get the salesman/owner to start talking about their kids or grandkids. It will soften them up, and should be good for another 6%-8% discount. If they have a dog, add (subtract?) another 2 points. If they have a collection of Precious Moments figur... | |

| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? Good question. Good responses. If it's possible to get you hands on the cable of interest, give it a listen in your system. Referring to your speciflc reference to AQ: As the AWG increases, there are other changes in material quality, geometry,... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @lollipopguild It certainly appears that you've more than casually ventured into the rhelm of power delivery and realized notable SQ iimprovement. Good choices. Glad they paid sonic dividends. John | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? Just a little clarification on my last post. Technically, the "demo" CD was actually a "system evaluation" CD. It was used for judging systems in car audio competition. As system designer/installer, we never knew exactly what cuts the judges wou... | |
| New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee Interesting post. I did a little experimenting on my own regarding "audiophile grade" high quality power delivery to, let's say -- "non-audio devices". The mad scientist project produced interesting and measurable results. I presented the conce... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? On the subject of "introducing others to new music", this "demo" CD was introduced in 1988, widely distributed, and experience by a group of primarily 17 to 22 year old audiences. Artist/composers: Alfred Newman, Jennifer Warnes, David Benoit, Bi... | |
