| Talk but not walk? Even myself, a self-described audiot who doesn’t know a mosfet from a misfit recognizes the validity of tuning a room, as well as many of the other tweaks and suggestions that I’ve read about over the last five years since I’ve joined. Why do mus... | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste...While I cannot offer an opinion on a MODWRIGHT KWI-200 SE with Thiel, I can offer one on the Modwright KWI-200 non-SE which I purchased used here from a fellow member a couple of months ago. 200 watts @ 8ohms, 400 watts @ 4ohms. 100% ... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Blood, Sweat & Tears....equally appropriate! | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Nothing wrong with sticking to “mid-fi.”I’ve been in the wine biz for 35 years now. Sometimes the best glass of wine is just a glass of wine - and ought to be. I taste/sample thousands of wines in any given year so I have a reference point for wha... | |
| Audio valuations While the A’gon Bluebook is a fairly valid reference point for determining what is a “fair” price to sell something at, that it doesn’t offer an insight as to the item’s condition at time of sale leaves a pretty wide degree of latitude for making ... | |
| High End is Dead? ...”Remember when?... All it takes is hearing that first note on a higher quality sound system and you are hooked...”Oh yeah. That’s IT! (Lucy shouting as Schroeder angrily pounds Jingle Bells on the keyboard)A crazy high school English teacher ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Before I started my A’gon addiction about 5 years ago my introduction to “hi-fi” - or so I presumed - began in 1994 with the purchase of a pair of Klipsch Epic Series CF-3 floorstanding loudspeakers. I had just purchased my current residence and w... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Man, Soylent Green!I believe that was Edward G. Robinson’s final film - no pun intended. However, the recycling into vinyl thing does present a problem for some of us who’ve grown up with the religious sentiment - and I paraphrase - that we are in... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! As Steven Wright once said...“I plan to live forever.” (Glances down at his watch)”So far, so good.” | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Hmmm....I actually admire the recycling/reincarnation aspect of it as well as the possibility of someone being more useful post mortem, not to mention finally getting a jacket that fits better than the one I might wear in the casket! Packaged lik... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections bdp24...I started getting into Bill Frisell a couple of years ago and I’ve since been busy digging the living hell out of him. Frisell draws you into his music. I listen intently, almost intensely to his playing trying to figure out how he figur... | |
| High End is Dead? We can’t lay blame on those darn kids today who’ve grown up listening to music on their phones/tablets/Bluetooth speakers/Alexa because their reference points for “good equipment” are limited by those very things. My reference point was my family... | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? Just received the Peachtree Audio Deepblue3...This is quite different from the 2 - especially with regard to the mids and highs which weren’t bad to begin with. Like the 2 the only tone control is for increasing/decreasing bass output which I pref... | |
| Please Read and express your feelings and opinions.... Like a few of us or the many of us who buy/sell/trade here on A’gon I have endeavored since my start on the site to maintain a degree of civility in the forums I participate in not only because most of them manage to be civil anyway, but also to c... | |
| Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy??? Never liked any of the speakers but I still have and enjoy listening to a Marantz 2250b receiver and a Pioneer SX-1050. The Marantz is hooked up to a small pair of Ushers, the Pioneer to a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels. The appeal for either is tha... |
