| insurance and shipping with UPS LTL shipping can be a nightmare in itself! A stereo shop in Florida thought they would do me a favor when I bought a set of B&W subwoofers, They put the subs in a large box with a minimum of packing. They obviously thought that the subs would... | |
| insurance and shipping with UPS It seems that all carriers have tightened their purse strings these days. I think it's necessary to well over pack all fragile items. I sent out a JVC video projector this year. I think the overall size of the box was three times larger than the p... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn - A dangerous pre! I always touch my metal equipment rack. It does the job of grounding. I also use a PS Audio line conditioner. It keeps things like stray voltages at bay. Joe | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Nothing in this hobby looses value like speakers! That's great if your looking to buy. In many cases top notch speakers sell for less than 20% of the original retail price. Look around. There's deals a plenty. Good luck Joe | |
| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? I have a Pass Labs XP20 that I picked up for $4200.00 The best I've ever owned! Joe | |
| Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it? How do you know if your caps are bad? I assume visible leakage would be a clue. What if they look OK? I have a set of Snell Type A V5's. Kevin Voecks went crazy with large outboard passive crossovers. They were built in 1996. It seems to me that s... | |
| Don't waste money on ultrasonic RCMs I know the secret as to how this guys "system" works. All of the ambient light is reflecting off of his jacket onto the record surface and obliterating all of the dust and dirt. Genius! He better hurry up and patent the idea before I do. Joe | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. I've always thought of producing music and reproducing music as two entirely different things. The later being much more difficult. In the studio, you're in control of the signal from step one. At home we need to assume and attempt to recreate you... | |

| JBL everest? The good people at VPI have one of the large pairs of JBL's as their reference speakers | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! mapman, if you find a posting boring or useless, IT IS possible to pass on it and not comment at all. Peace. Joe | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used Soix is right on with the Pass Labs x2.5. It's a great preamp and Pass Labs is second to none where customer service is concerned. Joe | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used Classe could be a good choice. Because of their state of restructuring, the prices of their goods have dropped. CP800 is going for around the $2000.00 mark. A great deal. I sold a CP500 for the crazy price of $1200.00 Joe | |
| Tube Preamps..... Hi jond, When the preamp heats up, does it smell like a pepperoni pizza? Joe | |
| Missing the Old Days You sir are no different than anyone else here. We all like what we like. Enjoy your journey and remember to have fun! Joe |
