| Do you have a screw loose? @ghdprentice , A good point. My Avance are pretty decent quality and sound pretty darn good. 3 ways, all ScanSpeak drivers, pushing 60lbs. each. Changing entire system eventually. Only gear I’m keeping is my BAT phono pre, and Mytek dac. Going ... | |
| Do you have a screw loose? That's why I'm not asking you. We already know the answer to that! 😃 | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? @audio_bidder , I can certainly respect your decision and your drive to succeed. You seem to be going into this with more business acumen they you have led on. If you do decide to go for it, I wish you nothing but success. | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? "Thanks for all the brutal replies. Lots of shade..." @audio_bidder , Sorry no one is coming off all kumbaya for you with posts of positive reinforcement, but these responses are hardly brutal. They’re just apparently not what you wanted to he... | |
| Do you have a screw loose? @ghdprentice , I tightened up a pair of my older Avance speakers. Only pair I use at the moment. Had a pair of Fritz Carrera's, but sold them due to the beryllium tweeter. Not for me. | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? 5 day minimum. Another thought, if it comes back broken, who's at fault? Who's liable, the shipper? The customer? The forum is full of incidents of Lost, stolen, damaged gear, and that's with a single shipping. But, your circus, your monkeys. We... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? Renting would be infrequent at best and while you're waiting, value is going down, and every time you send it off chance of damage, losing it, theft go up. | |
| Do you have a screw loose? I don't know about that Rox, but I sure appreciate the compliment! | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? "I am happy to pass judgement on thecarpathian for no reason, I am happy to even just make one up!" Gris, I'd be disappointed if you didn't! | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers @roxy54 , Rox, just started a thread reminding people for the New Year to check to see if they have a screw loose! Just checked the screws on my Avance speakers, surprisingly unsnug. Had to rummage around to find a T10 torx head bit to do it. Ti... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers "About 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times different! " This just in! For the curious tuning in, that ludicrously large number is One Undecillion. And now back to our regularly scheduled program: ’Battling Eggheads... ' | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM Just checked out their site. The only payment they accept is bank wire transfer. They explain this by saying it’s so they can pass the lack of credit card fee on to you and so to verify you are really who you say you are. That red flag could co... | |
| Outlet Requirements Holy moly, they do exist! | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement @tony1954 , 😆 Now you're gonna have to buy another one and put it under the other speaker. Height symmetry is also very important. | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement When I dragged the speaker across the map I broke my iPad. I'll try again with my wife's... |
