| How good is your hearing ? And how do you know ? I'm getting older but my hearing is still intact. I can hear a faucet drip on the other side of our house. It's a good thing, because my wife (four years younger) is almost deaf. Am I bragging? Probably, but I have found a way to compensate for th... | |
| Vintage receivers??? I don’t need to defend XM radio. It has huge range; music, sports, talk radio, comedy, it’s all there. At less than $.50 a day, it’s a bargain. For anyone who spends a lot of time in the car, it’s indispensable! Try the promotional rate of 6 month... | |
| company purchased--founder-designer leaves--establishes new smaller company Bruce Moore, Scott Frankland. MFA (Moore, Frankland Associates) is long gone. Bruce Moore started Bruce Moore Audio. Scott Frankland is now with Frankland Associates. I still have an MFA preamp, works perfectly.I believe Franco Serblin passed away... | |
| Vintage receivers??? shadowcat2016,I can't really defend the SQ of XM radio. I only listen to it in the car. I am hard pressed to find enough time at home to sit and listen to my CDs, cassettes and vinyl, let alone the radio. As always, my comments are probably unique... | |
| Vintage receivers??? For my money, I’d opt for the integrated. Is there really anything on FM worth listening to these days? Try XM radio and you will likely never go back to FM. YMMV! | |
| Anyone with an Oppo been playing Blu ray TV series Madmen? Yes, it is a DVD, not Blu-ray. Sorry! And, yes, the DVD plays just fine. I wish I could have been more help. Hopefully, you’ll get that Oppo 205. It sounds like they are in short supply. Try to catch “Better Call Saul” on AMC. It’s a little slow-m... | |
| What is the epic song of a group? Elton John, “Burn Down the Mission”Billy Joel, “We Didn’t Start the Fire”and +1 for the Beatles, “A Day In The Life” | |
| Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600? It’s your money. Try not to waste it. For $3600, there are a lot of choices out there! | |
| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... If you’re in Berkeley, CA, drop by the Amoeba store on Telegraph. It’s definitely worth a visit! | |
| So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas... If it were me, I would keep any Mobile Fidelity, DCC (gold discs), and the ones from Japan. 60’s and 70’s rock would suit me but may not be for you. Since they’re not mine, you’ll have to decide for yourself. Best of luck. | |
| Anyone with an Oppo been playing Blu ray TV series Madmen? I have an Oppo 105D, and several seasons of Madmen. I’ll put one on and let you know. IMO, Madmen was the best series ever shown on TV. Better Call Saul comes close!Also, I did have problems with my Pioneer BDP 09 DVD player, which I bought used. ... | |
| In need of stabilizer/puck for a Sony SCD-777ES The laser in the Sony SCD777ES is notorious for failing. You can find the laser for sale on ebay at around $150 to $300, but some would prefer to just shelve the unit rather than replace the laser. I had mine replaced by a friend in one day. It ca... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I’m sure there is a plethora of reasons for this decline. My view is that many of us already have the system we want. Sure, we’ll make a few changes but not as many as we used to make. We’ve realized that we can’t take this stuff with us. Also, pr... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? This is probably too much information, but I have kept my nine year old Lexus for the same reason. I still have hundreds of commercially recorded tapes that I find hard to part with. The fact that it has the Mark Levinson sound system is a bonus. ... | |
| Is the OPPO-205 worth $3600? Supply and demand principles still apply, but not everything that's rare is valuable. The Oppo 205 is worth what it was scheduled to sell for (and probably a little more), but it's not the holy grail some make it seem. |
