| Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers? The best speaker is the one you like! Keep the Advents as a secondary pair because resale value is low. What is your budget for new speakers? Do you prefer stand mounts or floor standers? How loud do you like to listen? Favorite music genre? How i... | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? All you believers in IC "sound" should build a simple comparator box and do the test! | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? The Audioquest comparator box was an embarrassment to them because it proved that all ICs sound alike - that ICs neither add nor subtract anything to a music signal! That's why I remain an IC atheist after trying the comparator! | |
| Are cables additive or subtractive? Back in the Days of Yore (early 80’s) Audioquest sent an IC comparator to their dealers for customers to try. This was a passive device with two pairs of inputs and one pair of outputs, with a rotary switch on top to select pairs of IC A or pairs ... | |
| Your thoughts/experience with very good, cheap tuners? I bought my first DA-F10 in the late 70's after reading the comprehensive test report in Audio magazine. Paid $270 for it at my local hi-fi shop. Worked flawlessly for 20+ years! | |
| Your thoughts/experience with very good, cheap tuners? I recommend the Mitsubishi DA-F10. I am now onto my second one (used $200). Had this model in use since the late ’70s. I also have several other tuners in my collection, including a McIntosh MR77 and a Scott tube tuner. | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... I heard the first CD player on the market for the USA in '82. This was the Hitachi vertical-loader. Retail price $1K. Not many CDs available then. I was not tempted to sell my TT! I didn't buy my first CD until the Fall of '91. I bought my first ... | |
| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? There is one here on Agon for $8500 with the Series 300 arm from a seller in NJ. Why spend $15K? You can upgrade the arm later. | |
| (Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio Talk about a sideways move! | |
| Rose colored memories Quad 57's that I owned from 1981 to 2000, then reluctantly sold. Several years ago I bought TWO pairs and plan to stack them! | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 2ci You can't go wrong with any of the amps you list, including the B&K! The only apparent sonic differences will be at clipping - but who wants that! | |
| J-Rock Bands Boris! | |
| Waxing nostalgic about those speakers that got away... Another time (1993) my deceased friend's brother had me sell a pair of Carver Amazing Platinum's. I found a buyer who paid $600. I wish I could have kept them myself! | |
| Waxing nostalgic about those speakers that got away... Back in the Days of Yore (sometime in the 90's?) my local audio dealer offered me a pair of Apogee Scintilla's that he had as a trade-in. The price was around $900! I didn't have enough scratch on hand so someone else got a real good deal. These h... |
