| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? I'm just here so I don't get fined..... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? I'll buy the collection from you, but will need a few weeks to assimilate the funds. In the meantime, I'll stop by and pick up the records, relieving you of your moral dilemma. | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Posted my belly-button response only to find it ended up on page 2, not at the end of page 1, where the original Jeannie belly-button was (and where I was asked to respond). | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Yeah, but I imagined it a 1,000 times, which was probably more fun. | |
| Should I pull the trigger? I was not looking to replace the PSBs, just use the Triangles in a different system. All plans have been put on hold since gas hit $3.30 a gallon here this week, and price hikes at the grocery store continue unabated. Cannot justify spending the m... | |
| Ever Been Too High? High-flying John Denver (until his last flight).....did you know his last name was actually Deutchendorf? No wonder he went with a different moniker. | |
| Ever Been Too High? ghdprentice/contuzzi: Each room where the Sierras were located was well-damped (carpet, upholstered furniture, etc.) and no other speaker I've owned exhibited the characteristic to the extent these did. One of my points of comparison was my Totem ... | |
| Ever Been Too High? I have used them in two different rooms, both almost exactly the same dimensions/shape (square), about 13' x 13'. They have been on Premiere24" high stands in each iteration, and there has been at least one sub in the mix until now. The amps used ... | |
| Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market? I agree with Chorus on the legacy issue associated with left-behind stereo gear when an audiophile departs for that big listening-room in the sky. You can see it every day - family members/heirs generally have little use for most possessions of an... | |
| Free Shipping - Be Careful! Shipping is definitely a minefield, and everyone has their own horror stories to contribute. What we have to keep in mind is that shipping companies are not monoliths, but are made up of real people, and therein lies the rub. Most are conscientiou... | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Thorens TD-160 paired with a Stanton 681EEE cartridge. I paid around $300 total in the mid-70s, best money ever spent for ROI. | |
| thought on eBay? A lot of good advice in this thread, especially on the packing issue. In August, I bought a Paradigm CC-450 center speaker that arrived with thebinding-post assembly torn completely loose due to improper packing. I was at home, but in the rear of ... | |
| Pulled from old theater Nothing like horny speakers. | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. It was the backdrop of what happened during the 60s and 70s that made the music of that era so memorable, along with what were at the time, some technological advances that helped fuel the fire (FM stereo, the lowly cassette), along with live even... | |
| Why the cost increase? I used the potato chip story just to point out how skewed everything has become these days....of course there were other brands for sale at all price points (I gave up potato chips for the most part about two years ago). I try to be the glass half... |
