| Expectations low, listening pleasure high. Agree that real music can come from the cheapest sources.It can sound better, but the music is still there.I have a moderate system and am happy with it.I 'know' certain things could be better, but I don't care.(I do usually go in spurts, right no... | |
| Goodsoundclub Agree that Romy the Cat was an interesting fellow.His history with AA and the goN' are as described.I always found his writing to be very interesting, and often informative. | |
| Capable Tech to service Infinity RS1b crossover? I had owned an Infinity RSIIa which had a similar crossover box.The parts inside are very poor (for audiophile) quality.ALL the parts are common bits. Replacing the caps and diodes and resistors is easy for anyone who ever put any kit together.For... | |
| CD player not reading WAIT!I had a beautiful CD machine that stopped reading (Philips 880) and destroyed it in a fit of passion. It turned out to be just a big capacitor on the board that failed. By then it was too late to fix it! As the parts I had mangled in my rage ... | |
| amp de-powering soon after power-on agree it needs a call to Bryston.They have a fantastic warranty, so they certainly have built in protection circuitry to prevent major problems.It's turning itself off before it explodes!(ha ha)It may be a minor issue with the protection circuits,... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I own a Denon DP59-L direct drive.. and a Dual SC7000 belt drive.Both are nice tables that sound good enough to my fussy ears. And both have 'lift at end of play' devices, and start cueing too. So my drunken ham-fisted mitts do not destroy the LP ... | |

| OK, what's the protocol? I would consider the actual cost of driving to send the package, and such.If the charge for shipping was over more than a few dollars, I would offer the buyer a refund.If it was less than a few dollars, I would count it as gas money.In some cases ... | |
| Hints on how to sell on A'gon? The stuff about packing is important.The use of solid 2" foam on all sides between the inner box with the product, and the outer box is a great start. With this sort of double boxing you will not have nearly as many problems with shipping.The rest... | |
| Does LAST Preservative DULL sound? This is a typical problem for successful products in the Audiophile culture.Anything that gets rave reviews, consistently, will attract the "Guru Rejection" group.This means some folks who consider themselves "Gurus" of Audiophillia will naysay it... | |
| The Single Piece That Started Today's HIGH END ? It really was in the mid 1980's that the sudden price jump surprised me!Like the Infinity IRS before the jump was $20,000 and soon after was $70,000.That is a BIG jump.Almost everything in high end had that giant price jump about then.Why I do not... | |
| hdmi to dvi compatibility The rules created by the 'paranoid' do not allow enhanced signals to pass without the proper hardware signal being sent back from the receiving end.Your Leowe probably does not conform to the digital managment thing and thus the sending unit is no... | |
| Surge in Electric Bill My Forte 4a class A hot amp raises my electric bill $10.00 a month if left on all the time (it is)Your one component could raise your bill $20 if it runs hot as the devil in totally pure class A and you left it on all the time.You got some other p... | |
| jewelers loop Radio Shack has an illuminated pocket microscope that works well.It goes from 25x to 150X (that is just a remembered guess) but it works great. (if you can find the tip of the stylus!I use a piece of paper and have the edge next to the stylus, so ... |
