| Wishbone Ash fans... I think I saw Wishbone Ash at least 15 times in high school and collage. I was a bit of a groupie I guess. My favorite album is Argus, but I loved all their albums.I may need to break those albums out and clean them so I can have a listen.I see fr... | |
| Dunlavy ????? I've owned the III's and I still am using the IVa's. I agree with Rja that the IVa is a big improvement over the IV's with the use of premium drivers which tightened up the bass. These speakers are big, so you need to have the right room, but I ha... | |

| Jadem6 stumbled... but hasn't fallen. Yet. This news is a long time coming, but I just returned home from 12 days in the hospital where I received a heart transplant! I hurt and am tired, but so very excited for a better future after 17 years of being very sick.To those of my Audiogon frie... | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? My preferred distance would be 1/3rd into the room, with my listening position 2/3rd into the room. In my room 1/3 is not feasible for the speakers so I use 1/5th the distance and 2/3rd for the listening position. This was the starting point, and ... | |
| Weird Band Names. "Trampled by Turtles" is one of my favorite names | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead I've been buying a number of reissues from http://www.cdjapan.co.jp that are using SMH-CD, Blue-spec CD, HQCD, SMH SACD and SACD. These disks sound so much smoother, and if bought in bulk to lower the shipping cost they are a good buy. Given the q... | |
| Isolation feet under diy rack I have a low wide rack. The assembly sits on a wood floor. It's base starts with bearing type isolation, mine is Arios but Stliipoints would be better. Then I have a sandstone slab which the rack system sits on. You can see the whole breakdown und... | |
| When the Electric Company Owes You a Favor? I assume there is a transformer on the top of the pole, and assume this transformer feeds only your house, if this is true, great. If this is not the case I would ask for a transformer for your house alone. | |
| SACD player won't read SACD hybrids The Sony SACD lasers are known for failing. I have replaced my laser set twice in ten years. Hopefully Sony still stocks the laser you have. | |
| Plinius sa102. or jeff rowland model 6 I actually compared the two back in the day. They are both excellent amps, but the Jeff Rowland ended up dull and dark in comparison. The Plinius is cleaner and has more detail and definition to the midrange. The Plinius has a tighter bass with go... | |
| Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line. Your right Yogiboy that the mains come in as a single line, but for some reason you can get more noise from one side of the panel verses the other. For this unexplained noise issue, a sub panel might be quieter I guess it would depend on where the... | |
| Isolation platforms for turntables Altanpsx I understand your problem. My only location for equipment is between the speakers too. I came up with a system using Arios supporting a sandstone slab. The Arios could be any type of bearing type devise. (Stillpoints would be great) The s... | |
| "Like" button for posts We actually tried this, there was once a rating system for posters, and you could achieve different levels of approval from you other A'gon members. The experiment flopped miserably, I think Albert Porter was the top dog... | |
| How Does Gold Wire Handle? As you may assume, I have tried every possible combination of materials for all three pins. I have tried copper, silver, palladium, gold and platinum. For what ever the reason, the materials in the #1 pin mater and have just as significant an affe... |
