| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... I have never had any trouble buying things on sites like Audiogon, but selling is a different matter. I am 100% honest and fair, but I have been swindled on a number of occasions.When I take the risk of selling into account, plus the actual cost o... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Whether or not the OP can afford certain advertised pieces of equipment has less relevance than whether he feels the advertised price is justified. Anybody can put any price on anything, and buyers can react in any way they want. Who cares?In my ... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing I have an Odyssey Audio Suspiro that I would put head-to-head with the Parasound JC3 (at least as far as sound goes, the JC3+'s variable loading is more convenient and offers a few more options for cartridge loading). The Suspiro matches well eno... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing The DSP will suck some life out of your vinyl; I would try it with and without. For me, I am willing to put up with some less than perfect resonances for the sparkling purity of a well reproduced analog signal. There is a certain emotional thril... | |
| What do you LIKE BEST about your current audio system? Once I heard the Harbeth P3 speakers (in a room very similar to my listening room), I decided to build a system around those speakers.I'm not saying those are the best speakers ever; just that their tone and expression of timbre appealed to me, a... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Whatever damn band I happen to be playing with at the time! | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? On the other hand, if you prefer to run test equipment (and music is mostly just a bother), then you may find hours of enjoyment testing for time coherence. | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? Hold on a second while I get my head out of its' listening clamp...Most timing issues have to do with the same signal reaching different drivers, and can be mostly corrected by a properly designed crossover. If the speakers sound good, I would no... | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? I currently have two turntables and a handful of cartridges. Both 'tables are decent (both under $2k) and the cartridges vary in price, but all under $1k. The cartridges present all different kinds of flavors. I can barely tell the difference b... | |
| What is the fascination? If you want to buy a new turntable, fine. I choose to use my superior intellect and arcane knowledge to identify a dusty old turntable from a grandfather's closet, cleverly re-engineer several parts, and install a vintage cart with a custom stylu... | |
| Where to put one's best power cords?? 1. Wherever it sounds best.2. Wherever it looks best.3. Wherever it fits. | |
| I'm still mystified... OK. Don't buy. Sounds like a good solution. | |
| New audio setup? You don't need the Schiit. And I'd pack up the turntable unless you have developed a record obsession (apparently not, because you cannot even use the thing in your current set up).Plug in your phone. | |
| 20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok? 20' feet of cable? I'm aghast! Unless the copper is 1" thick I'm kicking you out of the audio club! | |
| For those of us over 60.. Ramones.No talent, couldn't sing, nailed it! |
