| Selling on Audiogon @noromance My dad always said it another way (but similar): Youth is wasted on the young. @paulg1966 When my tinnitus started several years ago, I was terrified. Went and had an MRI done as Google had assured me I had an acoustic neuroma amon... | |
| More Bass Guessing you’ll be advised by Legacy to give them some time. One option may be to aim them facing each other, connect out of phase and play some bass heavy content non stop for a few days at a reasonable volume. Hopefully in that manner the proces... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align @curiousjim The album is called Blue Sun. The first track, Barcelona, is great too. Note, it’s Mark Isham. | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align The Stimulators - St. James Infirmary Mark Isham - That Beautiful Sadness Kevin Mahogany - Teach Me Tonight Treat yourself and check these out. | |
| One of the great things about Vinyl I find the same is true with CD’s. It’s just not as convenient to be impatient and jump around. Listening to an album or CD encourages a deeper appreciation of the musicians, writing, style, skill of the performance. I put on a Junko Onishi CD las... | |

| Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.) Pontus ll 12th here as well. Have never heard a pop or click and quite happy with the SQ. Can’t imagine why a remote would be needed. The only interface is when changing from one digital source (CDP) to another (streamer). Lots of great choices ou... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? Pontus ll 12th here with about 300 hours on it. I’ve never heard a single pop or click. Just absolutely beautiful, warm and enjoyable music reproduction. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? If possible to take the price out of the equation for a moment, I suspect you’ll find you can get more than 80% results by simply comparing preamps and selecting the one you like best. And if that comparison is blind, I’d guess the odds of your gr... | |
| Power cord length Threads like this remind me once again that snake oil sells well among we music lovers. Buyer beware. | |
| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 I also have a Hana ML cartridge and I do have woofer pumping but only when the needle is in the groove. Do you have that issue as well? I eventually installed a KAB subsonic filter and all is good. Just wondering if you found some other way to ad... | |
| The Impossible Has Happened @larryincmh I almost wonder if your explanation makes it worse. If a reviewer will not actually review a poorly performing piece of equipment (and advises manufacturer accordingly), their product remains on the market with excruciatingly detailed ... | |
| A public service announcement @noske Another Tom Waits fan. Great little tune (The Piano Has Basn Drinking). | |
| The Impossible Has Happened A direct question. Has anyone ever read a review of new equipment in which the reviewer simply disliked the product? Sound quality far below the sales price, overhyped, chintzy build quality, etc? Has it ever happened? | |
| Tube or solid state My PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Integrated with Genelec 12AU7’s and 8 KT150’s has become my holy grail amp. Having been through countless amps over the years, this setup is Nirvana. |
