| How are Hig-End Speakers Priced? I know of a speaker manufacturer who's speaker was priced at $15,000. At the time the speaker was expensive, but the speakers were labor intensive with all drivers broken in prior to matching and the cabinets were custom manufactured on site then ... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used I'm not a big fan of Totem although my experience is with the Model One. It requires a great deal of high quality power to become balanced. If you are a late night lower volume listener the sound would be lean. | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Sunnyjim, I have decided to check out the 301s also. I have to find out for myself since there has been so much controvercy about Bose in general. My friend says the bass is insanely good and the speaker presents a big relaxed sound with excellent... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Sunnyjim, $500-$550 is what VR-1s sell for. What do reviewers know about speaker value? They don't pay for anything. If I were selling VR-1s I wouldn't sell them for $375 either. Speakers for $375 don't come with a beautifully finished wood cabine... | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD 02-04-12: Orpheus10"Maybe the deciding factor is the quality of the TT or digital rig."I agree. | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used That would be Von Schweikert VR-1. Easy to drive 8 ohm load and great bass with -3 db at 40 Hz. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD How can you say one is better than the other when you are not comparing apples to apples. It's common to have a large investment in a turntable and an inexpensive CD player. Also, the end result has a lot to do with which source you have designed ... | |
| Speaker sensitivity Sensitivity is not the only thing to consider. I have owned high sensitivity speakers that were not easy to drive. A speaker's impedance curve and the complexity of the crossover can be much more important. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Bongofury, That was funny. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Orpheus10 is right. Is it the RIAA process that is appealing? Because the record would be unlistenable without it. | |
| Pick up only? where? The zip code locations used to be available on this site by clicking on the zip code and they still should be. This site is still in beta and probably will be for a long time. I lost approximately 50% of my want to buy ads which currently do not e... | |
| Tube sellers There are NOS tubes out there, but the supply is dwindling fast. It is important to buy from a reliable seller. I have had good service from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. NOS tubes come and go and when there are fewer tubes left the price goes up u... | |
| What is "low ball" The truth is, the sellers who complain the most about lowballers probably lowballed someone else when they bought it and are trying to make a profit. | |
| What is "low ball" I agree with Cyclonicman. There are far too many "highballers". Need some examples? A recent listing for an Audio Research SP-8 (not MKII) for $2,200. That's $1,000-$1,200 over market. Maybe more depending on condition. The price was firm. How abo... | |
| loose IEC power cord connection? Audio Research resisted using IEC sockets for years for this very reason. There is no better connection than a hard wired power cord. |
