| Hansen The Prince V2 - Question I did, yesterday. That # is out of service. When I looked them up in the online phone book there was no listing. They don't respond to e-mails either.I get the speakers next week. I hope the sound quality is a lot better than their customer se... | |
| Hansen The Prince V2 - Question I could do that but there really are more than 2 possibilities. I am ASSUMING it’s a metric size because Hansen is a Canadian company. Further assuming it’s M8 or M10 because it’s a 200lb speaker. I’ll see what Herbie thinks.The footers are not ch... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Yes and no. My buddy who is a large dealer said he's still having a pretty good year. I guess not all dealers are. He wasn't slamming SF, he likes them and I traded in my Liutos to him. He just commented that he's getting a ton of calls from d... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE The dealer that told me about SF being weak had no dog in the fight. It's a guy I've done business with for 25 years. He's one of the largest used/demo dealers in the U.S. We were talking and I mentioned I was thinking about new speakers. I as... | |
| SF Serafino vs SF Elipsa SE Thanks for the reply. A close friend of mine that's a dealer told me today that Sonus Faber is completely dead in the market. He said you can hardly give the stuff away on the used market. Not that that should scare either of us. Probably just... | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables I look at eBay. I guess you have been luckier than I have. With the 10% fee ebay charges sellers (plus the 3.5% PayPal fee) it's tough to find anything cheap. I know I only sell there when I have to. | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables Dave and Troy1. I wasn’t implying that was dealer profit margin. I know how to calculate a P&L. Been doing that for two decades now.2. Dealer discount IS correct. Most lines 40% off, some 50%. Those in demand slightly less. REL is about 1/3. S... | |
| Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables I will be patient. Usedcables.com is the site I referenced selling 10+ year old cables at basically what dealer cost was then. Seriously?I saw a couple that might do the trick there then looked up vintage and saw they were near decade old. That’s ... | |
| Aurender N10 I know what Metronome is but haven’t read much about it. It looks promising, but I’d have to find one in the used market because I’d never pay $12k for a server. That’s my fear with servers in general, tech is changing so rapidly. I’m dating mysel... | |
| Aurender N10 Thanks all. Dumb question involving Bridge II. I apologize, I have a lot of PC experience but have never done this before. Please tell me if I have this right.1) Bridge II installs in expansion port of PS Audio DSD.2) Purchase NAS. Copy music ... | |
| Aurender N10 Thanks. I can burn the CDs. I listen to downloaded music more than Redbook anyway. I'm just getting mixed opinions from people on it. While everyone says it's a very good server, some say it will equal my transport in sound quality, while othe... | |
| Question About Raidho Models C, D, XT audiotroy,Thanks for the response. The room is moderately sized, about 15x14. The issue is that the rear wall behind me is a wall in the hallway, and on one side of the room is an open railing (rather than a wall) that leads to the dining room. ... | |
| Question About Raidho Models C, D, XT Thanks for the responses. Rock concert I don't need. My issue is the crappy room I'm in which only has one sidewall (open on one side to the dining room) and is pretty narrow. My Duettes are about 5 feet apart as that's all I can manage in that... | |
| Question About Raidho Models C, D, XT That helped greatly, thank you very much.How sensitive are they to a good set-up? Right now I'm in a crappy room, big sideboard behind the speakers, only 1 sidewall, large sofa. Uggh, I know. When I move next year I will have a dedicated listen... | |
| Mapleshade Isolation: Does Nothing? Very interesting thread... I was introduced by my dealer to chuck the entire MAPLESHADE rig above in favour of his NAIM FRAME bespoke custom clone audio rack system: his professionally made bespoke custom-made clone of the NAIM cup-and-cone condui... |
