| Gain for Moving Coil Cartridges Teamfunk, are you sure that you MM phono stage has only 20db of gain; 35-40db is more common in a MM stage.Marty | |
| Am I the only one? After fifteen years with AudioMart and two with AudioGon havn't got it yet, maybe I should stick with clueless.Marty | |
| Am I the only one? Jvia, with all due respect, you are a much better person than I if you can tell the lizard racers from the interested hobbiests after just a couple of e-mails.Marty | |
| amp dies in middle of playing Many think that fuses are either blown or fine, but this is far from the truth. Often they can be semi-functional. Replace the internal fuses in the amp. Cheap fix that may save you a lot of dough. | |
| Am I the only one? Perhaps I am in the minority, however I would never want anyone to purchase a piece of gear from me and not be totally happy. My feedback reflects that. Many times I have asked the potential buyer questions based on the nature of his or her inquir... | |
| Integrated amps, need some help Dig into those pockets and spring for a Musical Fidelity X-A1; used price $325.00 to $350.00. Construction quality and sound are quite a bit better than the amps that you are considering. A few months down the road you won't even remember the exta... | |
| What has blown my tweeter???? Radio frequency interference entering at the integrated amp's inputs will be amplified as if it is an audio signal. RFI can easily fall above the audio band and tweeters do not like continuous large signals at very high frequencies. This is why cl... | |

| Have you ever broken the needle? 'just battle scars Bozo. At last count I have snapped 4 cantilevers in 25 years of audiodom. Not bad really, less than one every 5 years. Welcome to Analog. Don't get me started on tubes glowing cherry red and electrostatic speakers arking. I had ... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? You are clearly the S.O.B. and got exactly what you deserved. You state "I told the firm offer that I have a local sale and that the buyer was going to purchase them on Saturday". You previously said that "If he liked them he was going to buy them... | |
| Smoke coming from transformer means........anyone? For future reference, the best way to bring up a piece of gear that has been sitting is with a variac which is a variable power supply. I turn on the component and give it a couple of hours at one volt input, then a couple of hours at two volts, t... | |
| Is a deal a deal? I must respectfully disagree with Lolo; Audiogoners are not the best at keeping their word. My experience is that we are, at best, average and probably well below. I previously purchased my used gear in AudioMart, a strictly regulated print public... | |
| Is this the norm? Most of the Audiogon transactions that I have been involved in have been great with just a few flakes like the ones that you have mentioned. What amazed me was a gentleman that I saw selling a Musical Fidelity X-Ray CD player and had two very bad ... |
