| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I've followed this story and so ... congratulations! You ended up with the money (for an aunt?), an amp, and a renewed appreciation for your patient wife! | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... Really engaging thread. I can't resist a few thoughts (and why should I? It's the internet). First, I strongly agree with the few who have pointed out that most of the systems out here are far beyond most people's means. The median household incom... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? I'll drop a note to Sarah. She's been very helpful in the past. I don't want to sell the thing, just give it away to someone who wants it. I can drop it off at Goodwill or recycle it but I'm guessing it still has life in it if someone wants to do ... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? I didn't have *that* many but I can relate. I might just have kept a hundred or so, mostly for the art work from "kind" traders. Once Archive came along, it made little audio sense to stick with tapes. Gone are the days .... | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? Nak DR-2. The PLAY button doesn't work, which is common for these decks that sit unused for years and year ... It should be fixable but, well, I gave away my boxes and boxes of Dead tapes ... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company Fishy, I say. | |
| Maggies to Tekton? I say this with genuine respect: you mentioned your divorce twice in this thread and it sounds like you're figuring out your world and your music anew. You have a new life and a new house (and new listening space) ... and it makes complete sense t... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. I'm sorry about the check but that's great news about the amp! I've owned Bryston amps and I'm not surprised. They're built like tanks, as you say. No reason for it to go into a landfill; it probably has twenty years left on it.Good luck to your w... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal I've had both and I'm in agreement with the run of this thread: Qobuz an easy winner over Tidal, for sq as well as web interface. | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. No need to apologize at all; I asked! I'm sorry that you've had such a time with all this. Despite all the criticism of UPS out here, I'm still surprised that they are proving so hard to work with. That's unacceptable. You are absolutely right to ... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Tim, "young grasshopper" works just fine. At nearly 60, I'm well past my meridian but always young at heart. My wife might use the word "immature," and she wouldn't be alone. The funny thing is that I've haunted stereo stores from New Haven to Mai... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. n80, any update? Any good news? | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Renewed thanks for the lively conversation, which has been more than edifying. I don't have anything to add to the knowledgable posts but I do want to add one more reason for my original question. This thread contains some merited criticism of aud... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world Here's a quick note from the sidelines, thanking you all for the informative and spirited responses to my questions. Truly engaging. Because I love good prose almost as much as I love good music, I also want to thank Tim (noble100) for his generou... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system This may be the single most positive thread I've read on this forum since I became addicted to it ten months ago! |
