| Bi wiring v single run w jumpers Sorry, Geph00078, but if you ask four audiophiles their thoughts on these 3 options, you will get 1,324,991.6666 different answers ;-) My thought is that if possible, ask the speaker manufacturer what they recommend for each pair of speakers and u... | |
| Cable Box Digital 5.1 converted to Digital Stereo However, I agree w Kal that you hit the point of diminishing returns pretty quickly on the audio in the cable feed. | |
| Cable Box Digital 5.1 converted to Digital Stereo Oddiofyl- Did you try a co-ax ground isolating transformer between your cable box and the incoming cable feed to see if you can get rid of the ground loop? You can get one cheap at Rat Shack (if they're still open) or in a pinch you can put two of... | |
| Drop ship components from a Wilson dealer? My guess is that an authorized Wilson dealer is going to charge you MSRP for the replacement parts. The drop shipment is probably an accommodation to you so that you don't have to trek to the dealer. | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? +1 soix | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors I didnt realize this was a flame war. I took Tbg's comment at face value and thought it ironic. I'm bowing out now. | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors No one trusts anyone else's opinions here and should not. Anyone else find that a very odd comment coming from a reviewer? Or do I have Tbg confused w someone else? | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. Addendum to my last postAnd of course w/o sellers, no income for audiogon. | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? Never heard the Belles but his designs are universally praised. Owned the McCormack and it was an excellent piece. Only comment I can add to those above, is that Steve McCormack is still active in providing support and upgrades to his designs thro... | |
| Am i obliged to buy when seller refused at first.. Not sure about that john. A contract is a contract is a contract. Oral, written or otherwise. Now proving it is another matter. Audiogon Should get right on top of this, because this is clearly a "bug" in their system that undermines the formal mo... | |

| Should I repair my amp? Lots of well qualified techs out there. It's not quite rocket science.As long as the tech can figure out the values for the bad parts. | |
| Should I repair my amp? IIRC, Levinson is infamous for high factory repair costs, as well as use of proprietary or potted or disguised (not the right word but I think you know what I mean) parts to make it near impossible for an independent fix. I also seem to remember t... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 I'm in CT, where most years, the snow cover is more off and on, so we do get some field work done. We also do a fair amount of report writing in the winter. Then we go to Cancun and sip margaritas! | |
| Beware How I was ripped off Tom32- If you remember some simple rules, this site is usually pretty darn safe for sellers. Your local dealer will probably give you 10 cents on the dollar at best, here you should be able to get 3-6X that, so you do have a margin or error. 1. Do... |
