Shipping speakers
Get a quote from U Ship.You might get the speakers there in one day.You can supervise the loading and the buyer at the other end can supervise the unloading and get them delivered directly to the desired location.It would be a good idea to wrap th... 
Trouble with 20-bit HDCD
There is a version available on Amazon Prime music from a Dorian release.Pretty stuff. 
Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
When a customer has to resort to going public on a forum like this to get some traction on his prepaid order,that is a pretty sad reflection of how the manufacturer values his customers and reflects directly on their service.I hope this person get... 
Time to weed the LPs.... (choosing stuff to dump)
Pruning the collection is only good if you can bite the buying beast in the butt and stop making choices that will inevitably end up in the discard pile.People love to buy records for the sake of buying records and i can add myself to that categor... 
The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century
As far as "improvised" 20th century music is concerned, two of the most fertile minds and virtuoso pianists were Art Tatum ( "I got rhythm" 1940 from the "California melodies" radio program) and Bud Powell ( "Tempus Fugit" 1949 Clef records)  I lo... 
New Audiogon equipment search format.
These oval "victorian" picture frames are very snazzy. You know they had me reaching for my manual egg beater,but i had to reach down and retie my thigh boots.So just what is this website? I was just looking for a new Edison player for the parlour... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
It appears the powers that be are out of touch with the qualities that made this site good. Each time they make a change it gets further away and i imagine it drives away some of the core braintrust. Anybody can buy stuff,but it is the questions a... 
How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days?
Depending on what you have and the condition you might be in for a surprise regarding the skyrocketing prices of certain Jazz records.First and second pressings are in high demand and there are a growing number of "sleeper" records that fall betwe... 
Sonus Faber Amati Homage - need to move
Get some quote from piano movers.They will wrap the speakers and treat them with care.They will have a lift gate on their truck.If it was me i would spend the money.I would imagine piano movers in NYC are a hearty breed and have seen it all,and do...

This matter will be brought to the attention of  Audiogon and it will be their decision if they want to condone this negative behavior on their website.

Somebody went off the "reservation"....? I didn't realize that there was a security guard on duty on this thread? FYI using the term "reservation" and what it implies (indigenous people rounded up and imprisoned)  and how it was implied,has a very...

I had not heard that Eddie Fisher "Third cup" in many years.The fact that it was on Cadet records out of Chicago was enough to buy it when it came out.I bought all the Blues on Chess/Cadet,or as much as i could afford at that time.The Fisher recor...

Johnny Smith! Good call.This guy was all about broad strokes of elegant harmony and he was almost alone in the preference for ballads to medium tempo tunes.What a great legacy of all those Roost and Roulette records.There were a few albums on Verv...

Everyone feels their own passion about music and travels at their impulse in regard to what they feel is important and valuable.Jazz has always been a big puzzle and it takes lots of people to put it together,piece by piece.   Jazz has also "suffe...

Frogman...Thanks for the heads up on this Dane? Gilad Hekelsman. Certainly has chops and has done the work and i have always liked Mark Turner.I looked at a few more recent videos of Gilad and he is impressive.Sounds like he is searching for the r...
