| Headphones at work 650s are open back so sound "leakage" problem could be a problem. | |
| How do I know if seller is selling genuine cables? Agree that the only way to be sure is to have the cables verified by the manufacturer. I once bought a pair of Audience Au-24 i/cs that looked to be genuine. When I went to re-sell, Audience contacted me because mine appeared to be very similar to... | |
| RE: Shipment Stopped by US Customs If its light enough to ship via Canada Post, you most likely will not run into that problem. | |

| someone help me please i am a newb You haven't mentioned if your digital files are stored in a lossless format or the more common lossy MP3 format. If they are MP3s, the first thing to do (if you own the original discs) is to re-rip using something like JR River jukebox or Media Mo... | |
| A very successful DIY outrigger project. Thx, Bizango1 (great moniker, BTW). If you do manage to post a picture, maybe you could shoot one w the outrigger sitting on a plain piece of paper or contrasting wood floor or the like. Or send me a p.m. & I'll give you my email. My Merlins h... | |
| Servicing amplifiers from very small companies? Tube products generally easier for a good tech w/o a schematic. A big problem is if parts are "potted" or otherwise have the identifying characteristics obscured. Happened to me once w a Llano boat anchor, I mean power amp. Of course, 10 years lat... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Good analogy Elberoth2; esp. since SF speakers can easily cost as much or MORE than I have ever paid for a car! The only motive that I could impute to VW if they were to implement such a policy, would be that they wanted to eliminate the private r... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Why should Sumiko (the distributor) support the grey marketer's activities?Couldn't agree more, but what about the innocent poor shmuck who buys a used pair under assurance that they were NOT gray market. Not covering warranty repairs is perfectly... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used If I had to guess, I would say that this is aimed at both the gray market and the re-sale market. If just gray market, then no warranty service would have been sufficient. I think it's brand suicide, or at least distributor suicide, but what do I ... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Just checked their web site and did not see anything under their general home page tabs or under the Sonus Faber tabs. | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 Not very familiar w Dynaudio but all reports indicate that both Thiel and Dynaudio have a very different than Merlin. The Ref 3A monitors are very good but I've never heard the full range models. | |
| Any pleasant surprises because of guest appearance Saw Willy Nelson @ Foxwoods in CT about 10 yrs ago and about 1/2 way thru the show, Keith Richards stepped to the stage and played a few tunes w Willie. Only a few people recognized him until willie introduced him. | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 deluxe vs PASS X150.5 amps?? Sunnyjim- I've owned the DNA 1 and 0.5, and no question to my ears that the 0.5 is a smoother amp than the 1.0. The impedence and phase angle vs. frequency curve shown here indicates that the Adagio should be an easy speaker for most any SS amp to... |
