| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Nobody seems to include the "lowly" Snell Type B speaker to this list. I have a pair. I picked them up used for the ridiculous price of $675.00!!! I needed to replace four of the midwoofers which added $300.00 to the cost. They sound like new. The... | |
| Missing shipment Hi joecasey, Because without someone signing for it, who says it was delivered at all? Even though the USPS says so, Paypal will side with the buyer IF seller can't provide proof of receipt. Even if insurance is bought and a signed receipt is at h... | |
| Missing shipment I always thought the package was the shippers responsibility until delivered safely to the recipient. If a buyer says he didn't receive something, isn't the shipper required to show proof of the shipment? It's what Paypal says that matters. They'r... | |
| Is this an ugly speaker? TAS cover 10/2017 I can picture a cat scaling these things. ( This happened to a friend 35 years ago with a pair of Maggies). | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Polk Model 10A from 1979. They're in my home theater system now. I still use a Burwen Research 1201A for filtering hiss when I dub LP's to disc. A 1977 Army purchase! | |
| Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price? This is a really good question. I think it pertains to a lot more than just Wadia CD players. I wonder if even the people in question even know why they like them. Maybe the name is appealing to them in their language? I have an LP by a man named ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I've posted this before but here it goes again. I too had the same situation as the OP but with Threshold T2 and T400. Both preamp and the amp sent DC to the speakers. The drivers were damaged in both speakers (Snell Type b's). Threshold paid to r... | |
| FED-EX ground and SMART POST..........It travels around the US with no place to go I don't sweat any package that's on its way to me. Until you receive it, it's the senders responsibility. Unless you sent the seller unsecured money, you have nothing to lose! Joe | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers One very frustrating aspect of speaker shopping is the fact that most are rarely set up to sound their best! I haven't visited a high end store in a long time but, back 20 years ago when I had the time and energy, listening in most audio salons wa... | |
| Where were your audio components designed/engineered? Wow, you guys really know your Schiit! Me not so much. Joe | |
| Tech That Flopped! I had a time delay unit from the late 70's or early 80's. I'm thinking it was made by ADS. Help me out on this! It was early surround sound. It was a brown unit that used two speakers for rear delay. Does anyone remember this? Joe | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 I'm very fond of my Classe CP500. It meets your criteria. It is a very detailed preamp and is under appreciated and therefor a bargain. The phono is optional. $500.00 if not already in one you may find. I picked one up for $1200.00 without phono a... | |
| Is Classe AUdio no longer??? I owned two CP800 preamps. One from Canada and one from China. I couldn't tell them apart in looks or sound. Joe | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? My first system was from the 1970's. I was in the Army in Germany. We had a dedicated PX that was LOADED with gorgeous receivers. I have a catalogue from that time. It's not in color but it does list all available equipment and prices. Where can I... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Hi dla123, Here's my rule; buy the DAC you want to hear. Because your ears are tuned to your set up, the difference will be clear. Buy the DAC at a price that you can afford to sell it for and not loose much if you want. It's the ON... |
