| Costliest Brainfart @secretguy -- "@kota1 Your level of empathy is underwhelming." Darn it! The message is deleted. I'm always a "Day late and a Dollar short". | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them The Admins of Audiogon really are an enigma. They delete posts after posts because someone says the wrong word, uses the wrong pronoun, farts without saying excuse me, etc. etc. But they are like crickets when someone makes a post that is nothing ... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET I bought a Dennis Had Fire Bottle 45 Amp and LP3.1 Preamp about 3 months ago that were built by Dennis in 2019 (he signs and dates the bottom of each piece). I replaced the 45 tubes with a matched pair of Emission Labs 45 tubes and oh my gosh...... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? @facten -- My thoughts, also. Unless you are getting the steal deal of a lifetime, why would you buy an amp that's still under warranty (implying it's not that old) YET NEEDS service work already? In the automotive world that's usually called ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I'm glad I just hook up my equipment and enjoy listening to music. My Bluesound Node connected to my Dennis Had LP3.1 Tube Preamp into my Dennis Had Inspire 45 Tube amp to my Klipsch Forte speakers. I guess I'm a "Simple Simon". Tip of the c... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? So @stereo5, what should I have for breakfast? Good grief...you ever heard of asking a question to strike up a conversation? I find threads like this enjoyable and informative -- if you play along you might discover some "new to you" music. ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I’m absolutely ROTFLMFAO at most of these replies. The Selling Cabal that ordains, "I’m insulted by offers that God Himself deems as Low Balling, therefore the Serf doesn’t deserve the sweat off my brow", can happily be one of those listings I’ve ... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? @uncledemp The Schiit Loki is amazing. Allows fine tuning without overdoing it, and the price is ridiculous. | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Biggest questions: Have you totalled up the total money you spent chasing the "perfect" DAC sound; Does your spouse know the figure; and where do you hide the Goose laying the golden eggs to afford this hobby? Inquiring minds are eager to know! | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? Just do what I've done for years. Get an address at a UPS Store under a fake name, a location with a real physical address, and use Burner phones by the carton. Screw the Man trying to track me 😉. | |
| Randy Meisner has passed away. His vocals on "Try and Love Again" are gut wrenching. Sheer beauty. | |
| Help me choose an Audio Research preamp/line stage (Please?) I love my recently purchased SP-17 with Phono Pre. It was a consignment sell through a boutique dealer I work with. I had treated he and his wife to concerts by Godspeed You! Black Emperor and King Buffalo concerts, so I got it for $1,500 -- fresh... | |
| Phono Preamp Recs under $200 for My System Hard to beat the Schiit Audio Mani 2 for under $200. I paired one with my old Rega P3 that I gave my son for his first system. Klipsch speakers and a NAD Amp and he was in heaven. | |
| Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers I will refrain from praising or bashing MC. Life Tennessee Moonshine, he was an acquired taste. I am curious about the current health or status of Oldhvymech, or his username similar to that? The Forum Member that always brought a smile to m... | |
| Baffled by Pricing Strategy @brewerslaw I’ve been baffled by audio gear pricing for years, so you are not alone. I have no doubt that some (or many) listings are because a spouse has demanded to "get rid of all your extra junk not being used". Sellers post an item at a rid... |
