| Can an accepted offer be a lowball offer too? Yeah well, I didn't understand it either | |
| Can an accepted offer be a lowball offer too? I feel the same way but this has happened to me. I made an offer on something, paid promptly, and received the item which as not in the excellent condition as advertised. I mentioned that and then the "lowball" word came out. As far as I kniw I di... | |
| PASS LABS/WILSON SPEAKERS--Chicago If you're really into detail, might be a match made in heaven for you | |
| Conrad Johnson--Best used Model XP15 is a phono preamp. I would have to concur that there is a substantial positive benefit of running balanced outputs from a preamp to a Pass amp, and you can't do that with CJ. | |
| Conrad Johnson--Best used Model Used to own a 17LS2. I rank it as the 2nd best preamp I ever owned | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Anti-skate is always an approximation. The weighted string method can be quite good, though.

| When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade? I also have a UPS amp and preamp. Looks suspiciously like Pass gear | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution If you bought the speakers new I would suggest working with the original seller and try to work out deal. When my kids were younger I fully expected that someone would poke a driver- fortunately, never happened. I also expected some small toy woul... | |

| Thoughts on my current system Sort of an impossible question to,answer, as is.do you have any complaints regarding your present system? What will your listening room be like in your new place? What’s your budget? | |
| Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal??? Keep it equal, but I am skeptical that any difference would be audibly significant | |
