| What's your favorite speaker finish? I try to avoid bird poop maple, curly fries, and rosebud, but did enjoy Citizen Kane. Mahogany is my favorite but a better sounding and cheaper set of black speakers would be OK too. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Albert, I'll take 2 as well. A very kind gesture indeed! I'll be interested to see how the "AP-50" units compare to my non-cryoed Wattgate 381... I agree with Sean in that you should set a flat price per outlet that would realistically cover all o... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics NIte Power cord Power cord Thanks, Zaikesman and Theniels, for your sharp eyes. As we all know, every now and then, these forums are used for product pimping, and you never know for sure.Thanks also to Gary M (aka Gem109) for clarifying your post with gentlemanly candor. As... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Muralman1, I see your point, but we're all on different budgets for different reasons; we all have different levels of audio experience; we have different levels of interest, and even that varies form topic to topic (i.e., analog vs. digital). Yet... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics NIte Power cord Power cord Theniels, thanks for the link, but truthfully, I see nothing wrong with posting the same review on two different sites in what looks like a simple cut and paste job from the same person! Perhaps this fact should have been mentioned by Gme109 in hi... | |
| REVEL Sub-15 / LE-1 or AERIAL SW-12's......... Thanks, Mike from Fs_audio! I just KNEW you would chime in with a Talon Roc recommendation, and rightfully so (I was itching to do so myself but refained because I've not done all of the relevant comparisons that you have). Something to look into ... | |
| New Power Cords or stick with Tice PB Hi, an original version Tice PB would probably go for $400-$500 or so (only my guess). The used Power Block III B's are going for around $700-800 and that's a couple of generations later. Yet, the original Tice BP does most, maybe 80-90%, of what ... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? JD, this is all tongue n' cheek! We've embellished our stories for comedic effect... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? What a great thread! I've been and audiogonaholic for almost a year now. It all started out slow, and then one day I just had to make my first purchase. It was a pair of Newform Research R645's and man did I love those big ugly guys!! Still do, in... | |
| Members without scruples- a continuation Octopus, nice "reverse snipe" move wtth your negative feedback strategy on Ebay! I love it... In my post above, I mentioned the lack of value weighting of the Audiogon feedback system (i.e., there is no way to differentiate a $10 transaction from ... | |
| Help Total Confusion Thanks for the link, Sean; it was well worth the read! Ben, I'm with you on this one. Room limiations sometimes cannot be avoided, and you just have to live with them the best you can and enjoy the music. I'm seriously thinking about ripping out a... | |
| Maggies and Talon Roc I'm in full agreement with all of the above posts. I've used a Roc with a pair of Khorus, with Peregrines, with Martin Logan Aerius, and with Newform Research R645's, and find that it integrates perfectly (if such a thing exists) with anything I'v... | |
| Auctions - why bid early? Angela, I think thtt Magasam was referring to an Ebay seller who relists an item that was ostensibly "sold" in a previous auction (to his friend Rocco who put in false bids in an attempt to push up the proxy). I suspect this happens frequently, es... | |
| Members without scruples- a continuation I agree that there would be value added in being able to view another member's transaction history. I've built a couple of systems from Audiogon transactions as a buyer and have spent big chuncks of money in doing so. More recently, I've bought a ... | |
| Members without scruples- a continuation When in doubt about a member who has become a potential seller of an item you're interested in, use AudiogoN's many features to check him/her out before taking it further. Do a "Member Lookup" to see if this person has ever initiated or answered a... |
