| Can any one help identify my speakers It doesn't resemble Bose at all. It looks like a kit using L300 components in a homemade cabinet. JBL offered separate components with crossovers and specifications for cabinet designs. Many people took advantage of this because it cost less to bu... | |
| Safest way to trade ? Onhwy61, I guess it depends on what you are selling. If I am selling an expensive item, especially tube equipment, I am willing to send it in for inspected. It helps the buyer know what he is buying and it relieves me of liability. It's a small pr... | |
| Safest way to trade ? I would have the preamp sent to Audio Research for inspection. When Audio Research tells me the preamp is ok I would send payment. I have done this in the past and it works out well for both buyer and seller. | |

| Audioquest Emerald generation 1 Lloydelee, Back when those interconnects were new I owned both silver Lapis and Diamond, balanced and single ended. I agree, the Diamond interconnect is better. I can't seem to find Diamond either. I even ran a "Wanted" ad with no response. | |
| Nasty slap echo Grannyring, Is leather a reflective surface or not? Listen with your head against the back of your leather chair then place a blanket over the chair and listen again. If you can't hear the difference then I guess it is a non-issue for you, but I c... | |
| Monster X-Terminator Source? I agree with Audioquest bananas. | |
