| The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire? Kelly, I finally got to disagree with you. Tooth dekay is not a problem compared to ear dekay. Tooth dekay may be avoided by laying off sweets, while sweet music, the cause of ear dekay is as certain as death, taxes and Audiogon! | |
| How much does your system retail for? If you stack it against my right channel, it may topple over, crushing you. Be careful! | |
| Battery Powered amps and preamps Jeff Rowland uses battery technology on several products in his line. You can visit his web site, and view the Model 8 amplifier and Coherence preamp. In addition to technical specifications and images, there are reviews from Ultimate Audio by Gre... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Miracle Cures: Stevemj needs a keyboard break in device. His present model is stiff, and will not respond properly to input no matter how often he gives it the finger. Data that it does transmit, is either out of context or condescending. Perhaps ... | |
| If you knew then, what you know now... All of the audio equipment that's been in my life, for whatever reason, led me to the knowledge I have today. I would not be happy if I had not explored every opportunity. All was a learning process, even discovering what I did wrong. I do agree w... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Equipment price does not equate directly to musical enjoyment. I am almost embarrassed at the value of mine, but understand it was accumulated over 30 years of improvements. Considering I spend part of my career as a rep. in the audio business, wh... | |
| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 If you are asking me to be the one to comment, I would say the $10,000. unit would be better. I don't think that would be an embarrassment for the SA-3.1 though. As in all things in high end audio, there is almost no limit in what you can spend on... | |
| Top Music DVD s? I used to rent the Laser Disc "The Whole Story," by Kate Bush. Unfortunately there is not a DVD replacement for this performance. I like her music, even though her vocals are sometime difficult to separate from the instruments . Just looking at he... | |
| Vandenhul powercord Stevemj, why don't you go to a site for scientific and engineering discussion where you can bask in numbers and theory. The people at Audiogon are interested in improving their music systems, and every time a question is posted concerning cable, t... | |
| How much does your system retail for? I have to admit, this surprised even me. My total came to $188, 950.00. This covers the interconnects in the surround sound as well, but not the rest of the gear. The software would be very difficult to add up, I'm glad the question was equipment ... | |
| Dealer Price "Wiggle" Room I love your name. If I were a dealer I would try to accommodate anyone who would pick out Jenniethecat for a posting name. The other posts are correct about discounts. Most audiophile lines vary wildly in their margin. There are items that can pro... | |
| Counterpoint SA-3.1 and 5.1 I have owned at least nine pieces of gear designed and built by Mike Elliott, and as I have posted in other topics here at Audiogon, they are among the best the industry has to offer. All audio equipment has a sonic signature. Assuming you are ple... | |
| Cryogenic Tempering The cryo process for tubes has been experimented with to a great extent by Bruce Wenger of BWS Consulting. He has a web site, http://www.bws-tube.com/If the information about cryo treatment is not listed at the site, you can ask via e-mail. Bruce ... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic Any of you Audiogon guys that are coming through the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Airport, that can work your schedule to have an extra evening, I would be willing to come pick you up to listen here. If you want to meet the entire group, Tuesday evening is t... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic I must be the only dissenting vote here. I have owned or lived with speakers of all types. These include, but not limited to, Vandersteen, B&W, JBL, Essence, Snell, Crown, ESS, X static, Lynn, Harbeth, Celestion, Duntec, and Fosgate. I current... |
