| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Davey, you don't understand what a rip off is. A rip off is when you pay for one thing and get another. You got cheated, swindled, etc. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the object is worth what you paid for it as an objects' wor... | |
| USB Extender ?? had any luck passing audio over an extender? The USB extender suggested works perfectly. I added another 15 ft powered extender to get to 45 feet and no issues. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... daveyF, a rip off is when someone offers something for sale and misrepresents what it is. If I offer you a Rolex and what I sell you is a cheap imitation then I ripped you off. If I offer you a Rolex at full retail + 20% because it is a rare watch... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Offering something for sale and finding people who are willing to pay the price is not a "rip off." It is capitalism at its finest. It doesn't matter that the cost of materials is much lower than the selling price or the mark up is very high, ever... | |
| USB Extender ?? had any luck passing audio over an extender? did not know that you could go that long. ordered and will try. Nice thing about Amazon is if it doesn't work just send it back.... thanks | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Geoff, you got me there, conductive liquid. A wonderful marketing spin but at the end of the day they are just transferring energy from one component to another. You will never convince me that the $20,000 + you would need to cable your system wit... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money Cables are the most overhyped, overpriced components in the world. Come on people !!! it is wire !!!! The people paying tens of thousand or even thousands of dollars or even hundreds of dollars are idiots. I apologize to all of the idiots.I wish I... | |
| multichannel SACD or DVD sorry I'm not clear, I mean surround like 5.1 or 7.1 like you figured out. Thank you for the suggestions. I have an OPPO 203 so feeding my receiver via HDMI though I could go analog. Anybody care to weigh in on which they prefer? I don't care to t... | |
| New Audiogon equipment search format. Effectively now the worst web site in the world . If they want to enhance it why not add filters so we can narrow a search, like balanced vs. SE cables and components, power ranges for amps, length of cables, etc. Something that would be very usef... | |
| How to filter Audiogon results to Canada only. I've asked Audiogon several times, and they always agree, that they need to add filters for location, equipment, balanced vs. SE cables, power ranges for amps, push pull vs SE, length of cables, etc. They always say it is a good idea and will get ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps That said, phase isn’t described in terms of units of delay. It’s described in terms of degrees of rotation for a given moment irrespective of time. The problem with breaking it down as a function of time shift is that time shift would be differen... | |
| Phase inverting preamps When you invert the polarity on your preamp it is not inverting a sine wave, it is inverting a complex musical waveform. The initial WHACK on a drum has much more energy in one polarity than the other. It the initial sound is a compression and you... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Whether or not hairs are being split is a matter of opinion. That you are incorrect is a fact. As I stated earlier, a phase shift is a difference in time whereas inverted polarity means a change from positive to negative or vice versa. I don't h... | |
| Paypal issue beware. Those who say he accepted it so you can’t file a damage claim are incorrect. I recently received some speakers that were not packed properly and got dinged up bouncing around in the box with no damage to the box. I picked them up at UPS and discov... | |
| Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect 10% off from a dealer is reasonable but you can buy used typically at 50% off. IMHO buying new is huge waste of money since there is so much used out here. My apologies to all the dealers out there. |
