| An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans Onhwy... wish I could. But between my SO, kids and job, my stereo is what keeps me fom climbing tall towers. And no, I do not work for the US Postal service. | |
| An Unusual Question -- Equipment Rental/Loans Thanks for the kind offer JMC. But my hook-up to and from are all balanced. But I am very grateful for the kind offer. | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Audiolabyrinth, I wish I could weigh in on your last post, but cannot because I have no data except some limited anecdotal experiences. But my gut tells me you're right. As general matter, I think hype and puffing contribute a considersable amount... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Ralph (Atmasphere), I wonder if the 90 day policy is the result of new ownership? Seems to me that a well thought out product takes time to design, test and roll-out. And a really good product should have staying power with a long shelf life. For ... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Pops, if you can pick up a used PH-7, I think you will be quite happy. I spent serious bucks to move up to the PH-8. I am not convinced the PH-8 is leagues better than the PH-7. I'm not even sure the PH-8 is even better than the PH-7 -- yikes, her... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Mitch, I'm a big ARC fan. But let me help out with a little perspective. I used to own the Ref 3 and I liked it a lot. But upgrade fever kicked in and ARC ballyhooed (sp?) the new revolutionary Ref 5 as being in a different league than the Ref 3. ... | |
| Anyone road test the new ARC Ref CD-9?? Spoke to Kal yesterday about another issue and the new Ref CD-9 came up. As far as the "red book" CD side of the house, Kal said the CD-9 is better (no surprise) than the CD-8, principally because the CD-9 uses upsampling which greatly improves th... | |
| Anyone road test the new ARC Ref CD-9?? Dunno. Take a look at the ARCDB.com site. | |
| VT-200 in storage for 3 years Joe, send a message through A'gon to Gary (Hifigeek1). Gary is an authorized ARC service tech and may be able to help. | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP I own a VPI Classic. When I first bought it, I recall calling Mike at VPI to ask what geometry the VPI jig was based on. Mike told me Baerwold. I also own an old, 40 years old, alignment protractor kit that is based on Baerwold geometry. Just for ... | |
| Got Ears? Liz, there's another OP running about the benefits of cryo treatment. I was wondering out loud if cryo treating the wifey or significant other might change their feelings about our hobby. Any thoughts?? | |
| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? My wife. But if I'm lucky, I try to listen to 90.1 FM (Philly)which plays classical during the day and switches over to jazz after 6pm. | |
| Cryogenic experience wanted. Constructive please Essentialaudio, are you responding to my post about cryo'ing the wife. Are you saying the risk factor is that she may still hate my rig after the thaw and then I'll have to start all over again buying new gear??? LOL | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store I agree with much if not all said above. There's only a few hi-end stores in the Philly area. And I think the difficulties mentioned above about working with B&M shops is no less true here. The old days when I could hang around a store and jus... | |
| Cryogenic experience wanted. Constructive please Anyone try cryo'ing the wifey or significant other. I wonder if they would appreciate our audio rigs after the thaw. Just thinking out loud. LOL ; |
