| new cd player or old The issue missing in other posts is the factor of age related failures. A single small capacitor failing can cause total failure of the CD player. (Easy to fix if you are a techie, but not worth it if you have to pay someone else.)Also specialized... | |
| Wilson Audio paint problems The Wilson warranty is disgusting. If the speakers are not INSTALLED by the dealer?? you LOOSE the 5 years and get nothing but 90 days.(what if you move them a few inches?? you gotta call the dealer? nonsense!)Well, glad I will never buy any Wilso... | |

| CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS? The person may still be making money at 50% off. For example:I bought four Canton 300CD speakers($1,000. each retail) new (NOT DEMO), from a dealer, for $350. each. Also three 360CD ($750. retail, for $200 retail, each) I didn't 'need' them, just ... | |

| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon 1) A fool and his/her money are soon parted.2) Some folks will believe anything.3) What you expect influences what you hear.4) Better stuff usually is better in some way, but some folks may not like the difference in sound. So it is STILL a crapsh... | |
| Why are most High End Amps class A Class A amps run at full power when idling. So if you really want a dual use machine (home heater, and amp) then go for pure class A.I have a small 50w 'class A' amp, and love it. I would never buy a big class A because of the heat, and strain on ... | |
| Baby name opinion.... "Klenex", or "Jello" are about the same sort of name! Are you trying to make your daughter hate you from the womb? | |
| any science to mix and match speakers for HT? The center should be of the same type (same sort of sound/timber as main front)Or it will be bad.The rears are not nearly as important. Though I would buy something from Thiel for them also. | |

I try hard to never bo... | |
| Audio Alchemy repair The cost of repair will exceed the replacement cost, IF it could be repaired.Buy another DAC. | |
| high voltage's affect on amplifier performance That is not enough to cause a problem. If you had 135v I would start to worry! (conversely, under 105v I would be MORE concerned than having 124v) | |
