| Audiogon purchase: too good to be true? A little searching is all it takes. Here is the ad.The comments about markup may be off base, but they are less relevant than what Elizabeth and Foster_9 said about confirming with the manufacturer or distributor that the seller is an authorized d... | |
| Audio Kharma website Phaelon, I see your point if all this thread is about is bacon, but it isn't, it's about AK as far as I can see, but yes, posting about bacon can be viewed as silly. Still, we've witnessed the Spudz Effect even in this thread. | |
| Audio Kharma website Thanks for proving my point yet again, Spudz. Seems you have a lot of time on your hands if you've been following the bacon thread. Not me, business has been brisk all this year, but I do look forward to having bacon and eggs tomorrow for breakfas... | |
| Audio Kharma website Liquid-smooth, I believe it for a couple of reasons:- While the guys on AK tend to have fairly low dollar systems, some of the systems perform very respectably - some at AKfest have outperformed some of the commercial exhibits - and once you get p... | |
| Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California Not at all true. How do you know Brian didn't just decide to take some time off, go back to school, or something? Check the facts before posting misleading remarks. | |
| Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California Brian's profile on Facebook says, "Former VP/General Manager at Brooks Berdan Ltd." So it would appear to be true. In any event he is a class act, as was his dad. | |

| Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE One of my customers traded in his Ref 3 for a used Ref 40th Anniversary. Better, for sure, but "whole 'nuther ballgame", dunno. Could have had a V-8. | |
| Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear Rleff, with the new Toroid II's the speakers are a lot easier to drive, to the point that MA-1s are fine and dandy. You are welcome to call me for more info. | |
| Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear Transmission Audio Ultimate. According to a recent article they have orders for two of these $2 million systems. | |
| TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO... Thanks, Donjr! | |
| Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume? No, but odd order harmonic distortion is perceived by the ear as a loudness cue. The amounts of distortion at higher orders may be very small but you will readily hear it. "Turn that down" can often mean turn down the distortion. | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body I think you meant to say the 2A is the same as the 3Q without the laser assist. Having demonstrated the 3P at the recent Axpona show here I agree with your remarks on it. A joy to set up. I ran the Feickert software on the system once set up and g... | |
| TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO... I'm flying to Toronto in a few weeks to do a turntable setup and alignment for a customer. It has a great diversity of restaurants, friendly people, and good roadways, not to mention a Timmy's on just about every corner and certainly at every exit... | |
| Help with Cartridge Alignment The Fozgometer does what it says, it enables you to match crosstalk levels. But does that always occur where the sound is best? Our ears are most sensitive to phase error between the channels, usually measured at 1 kHz. When it is zero there can b... |
