| Oyaide When you state that you have heard larger benefits of changing plugs than in different wire, does this mean you have experimented with different power cord wire while using the same plugs during the experiment? | |
| Buying used vs. New That's a great example, Macrojack. I have to say strong resale of the Druid is unusual in audio, and I believe it's a strong indicator of the dearth of loudspeakers at the $2000 price point with the specifications of the Druid.In other words, supp... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones There's a fine Michelin rated restaurant in Santa Monica, CA that is known for its $80 chicken-for-two. Now, that sounds crazy, but it's only about 1600% higher than an excellent Costco roast chicken. Seems like a bargain compared to audiophile fu... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Perhaps Zu Audio Definition MK II or Presence might be considered. They play very open, without strain, and the bass is deep, detailed and punchy.I get the sense you have some specific ideas regarding the cosmetic look of your new speakers. If so,... | |
| Oyaide What are the power cords: brand, material composition, gauge, etc.? | |
| Buying used vs. New Learsfool, you have subtly changed your position since initially writing on 8/25:08-25-08: LearsfoolI would say, however, that one should never pay more than half of the original retail price for a used item, the only exception to this would be if... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Don't question Tbg on the treatment of his room. See the photos on his system page for further info. | |
| Time to change. But to what? I have not heard them, but I'd like to. | |
| Time to change. But to what? I should really know better than to make blanket statements.The Sonata III are more analytical than forgiving, IMO, and they do not work as well with tubes as others claim, IMO.Now, having said this, "Blindjim" will write of his completely opposit... | |
| Time to change. But to what? I understand. I own Pass, too.What I like about the AudioKinesis speakers (and other speakers with similar specs) is that if one likes the sound of the speakers, then they can stay in a system while amps come and go.In other words, the Jazz Module... | |
| Modded gear on the used market. I strongly disagree that a modded player is worth less than a stock player, especially if done by someone with excellent credentials: Modwright, Exemplar Audio, RAM, etc.However, the used value of the mods is a fraction of their original cost. Ass... | |
| Time to change. But to what? The Dali MS4 I have heard are excellent, but they are analytical, IMO.Have you considered something really tube friendly, and with an adjustable tweeter like the Audiokinesis Jazz Modules? They intrigue me because they have 92dB sensitivity, and a... | |
| No escrow? Since I've had dozens and dozens of successful, high dollar transactions with Audiogon members, I would not be interested in the additional cost or time of escrow. | |
| No escrow? Is this a marketing plug for www.escrow.com? | |
| Mint Tractor As careful as I am, Richard (and I am quite careful), I'd be very unhappy if I accidentally nudged my platter. This is my concern...not the platter moving on its own. So, I will continue to tape it down. There are enough tapes available that will ... |
