Good of you Warrenh, I'd do business with you anytime.

Warrenh, thanks for your follow-up reply. This clarifies that your understanding of the transaction had nothing to do with the original ad. This is good to know. It's also comforting to know that you have received an apology from Trancehits. That ...

Warrenh, in your original post you mentioned that "We negotiated through email and came up with the price of $375 NEW." What you did not mention was how you learned about the item for sale? I assume that you learned, like we all do, by reading an ...

Another thought on universality (is that a word?) of definitions. There are many forms of the word "New" that can be easily understood by potential buyers if the seller is clear in his or her communication. In simple terms, "New" (to me) means "Ne...

Playing the devil's advocate (pun intended) he may have opened the Cardas package, tried them in his system for a very brief period, then schuffled them to the side with all of his other unused cables, and then months later when he decided to sell... 
Riddle me this...
The marketing hype surrounding BIG WATT amps is even more pronounced in the mid-fi car audio market where the number of watts is often stamped prominantly on the product itself and its packaging! (Nothing is said as to the quality of the amplifica... 
newform research r645
There is a Newform user group on Yahoo where a lot of tweeks are discussed in detail. You could probably get lots of help there. You will have to join as a member to interact, but it's free.http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Newformgroup/Newform's webs... 
Are there any absolute truths???
Don't bid on any audio equipment on Ebay before checking Audiogon first. The quality of used gear and the people selling it is by far greater here, on average. 
Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?
Mike, thanks for the link to the translated Monitor db site. Now if I can only scrape together DM60,000 for the Imagine system! (This price must be out of date since it's been a couple years since the DM has been traded). My best guess would be in... 
Speakers 2K- 3K range used or new
Hi, I've interpreted your question as a "system building" question and assume that your friend does not have any of the associated equipment that he will be needing (since the speakers are only $2K - $3K of the $10K total). I'd suggest first that ... 
I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH
I suffer from Farleytitties, but am now on a diet! 
ButtKickers. Experience Anyone?
I use 2 of these in my HT (one "original" which is bigger and heavier) and one Buttkicker2. There are supposedly some minor performance differences, but they both feel about the same to my butt! I'm also using the suggested Carvin amps (one is a s... 
Which Integrated?
Steve, I'm sure your reservations are well founded and to each is own. Having said that, I've bought tons of used gear on A'gon and haven't had a single bad experience. Nothing is completely safe, but for the used market this site is the best! 
Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music?
My favorite is Bailey's Irish Cream with crushed ice, but it's hard to break my ice chewing habit which distracts my ears (and mind) from the music. Any advice, or should I start a new thread?!?!?
