| the Listening Room I have always worked it the other way. When I moved I completely rebuilt my system to sound good in the new room. Interestingly, it ended up costing less than the system that sounded great in the old room. I sank the extra cash into LPs, that's al... | |
| Audiogon Members Bob, the way to avoid bad feedback, even when you do not initially meet the expectations of your buyer, is to constantly communicate and, most of all, if you are the seller, remember that the onus is on you, take it back if the customer is unhappy... | |
| Slight cracle from one channel of Jolida SJ302a Take the bacon out of the pan. | |
| What are the best tubes for Audio Research SP-11? I still like the Amperex 7308 gold pin and the rare 6Dj8 India tubes in my SP-9 lll. | |
| Are your used items selling? Are all integrated amps less expensive when a photo is posted? | |
| Review: Bryston BP-5 Preamplifier What was the cost of the pre? | |
| Anyone heard the Odyssey monos vs Plinius amps? Interesting, none of the respondants has actually said that they have heard both amps and, if any have, they have not illuminated the sonic differences, so no one can actually answer the question from a sonic perspective. Oh, if we could only list... | |
| Headphone amps HD what are the choices? I use both the Musical Fidelity X-CANS version 1 (used price $150.00 to $175.00) and the Audio Alchemy HPA-1 (used price $125.00 to $150.00, but somewhat rare). I like both better than the Creek, which is also quite fine. If you like rock or Jazz ... | |

Most audiophiles do not understand the ramifications of this from a sound quality standpoint and are missing the b... | |
| Blue glow in power tube? Blue glow good; red glow bad. Just like in the Matrix, but this time don't take the red pill. | |

| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? Elmuncy makes the mistake of confusing insulting the singer with insulting those that like the music. Perhaps this is intentional. I never criticized Ms. Krall's fans; I just said that I thought that she was not very good. If popularity was the ba... | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? Ghastly stuff from a ghastly singer. I heard it this afternoon and the contrast with Joni Mitchell's powers throws the vapidness of Krall's delivery into harsh relief. | |
| Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock Classic rock, dude! Why JBLs of course; that's what "Free Bird" was mastered on after all! Snag some L36, L112 or 4311 studio monitors for high sensitivity, high output and that JBL bass. Not real popular in audiophile circles, but neither is Sout... | |
| Seasoned Mcintosh Fans lend me your ears & advise Pwsdaddy is correct; the tube Mac stuff is more maintenance intensive than the SS stuff but he is wrong to suggest that it be avoided on these grounds. A real dog pisses on your rug and needs to go to the vet, better to avoid it and stick with the... |
