| sand versus shot in speaker stands Remember, lead is hazardous. Do not, under any circumstances, eat, lick or kiss speaker stands that have been filled with lead. Regardless of how sexy the speakers on them are sounding this is hazardous to your health.Better than lead, the suggest... | |
| TOTEM Sttaf removing mass loading Be sure to impress on the seller that the removal of ALL the mass loading material before shipping is important.A 25% full compartment is worse than a 100% full one. Think of the pile driver effect as the fill material moves around. They'll also c... | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... This whole line of discussion is beginning to sound homophonic! | |
| US only sales WHY??? Ironmine, you have no knowledge of my income level and it is only relevant in that it is not so great that I can afford to lose money on bad deals. My position on doing business honestly comes in part from the need to protect myself from unethical... | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... Douglas_schroeder, the misuse of "parish" was intentional. I was trying to be funny, hence the smiley. Oh, well, guess I'll just have to keep my day job... | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... Mt, you may have missed that this is a written forum and the discussions are in writing. Also, in case you're interested I have an old keyboard with at least one working SHIFT key. If you'd like it...Seriously though, written communication is fast... | |
| How did you discover audiogon? AudiogoN is not something I discovered. It has always been been here and is the soup from which all life emerged. Especially mine (audio wise, anyway).That's a nice way of saying all my previous equipment was junk and AudiogoN put me on the good p... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Raquel's original comment had me somewhat baffled; the follow up post clarified things. A 4 ohm load is harder to drive and to do it properly does require more from an amp. That's not the case with a more efficient load. A properly matched system ... | |
| You can't have too many apostrophe's Thoughts of a (somewhat) innocent bystander:This was an interesting thread and became especially so when Douglas_schroeder chimed in. Very thoughtful perspective Mr. Schroeder.Abucktwoeighty is right. Mrtennis makes my day, too. I'm just too kind ... | |
| US only sales WHY??? T_bone, none of my comments were relative to a seller giving up their responsibility to the buyer as it's not something I'm likely to do. I give what I expect and that means the seller is responsible to deliver as advertised. We certainly concur t... | |
| US only sales WHY??? Here's a quiz for everyone. There are two worlds; each has its pluses and minuses:In the first world, a seller has no responsibility to deliver their product to the buyer in the condition advertised. If there is shipping damage it is the buyer's r... | |
| US only sales WHY??? Asking a seller to undervalue their product on the invoice exposes them to a potential loss in the event of shipping damage as shipping companies generally will not payoff more than the items declared value. If an individual wants to scam their go... | |
| Suggestions for speaker stand platforms? Thanks for the heads up, guys. Reading even one experience with a vendor like what was outlined in the thread referenced above is a total put off. I'll be sure to steer clear. | |
| Serious Addiction to Gear There may be something to it. Someone I know once called me an "AudiogoN addict".Hi, My name is Fpeel. I was clean for 22 days. Then I saw this power cord posted for sale... | |
| How far away is your Nirvana I Googled it and Nirvana is in Michigan which puts me almost exactly 2,400 miles away. At first glance it would seem I am a very long way from Nirvana.This distance thing set me to thinking. I listen to my system for hours at a time completely los... |
