| RIP John Bonham Read the header, looked at my wife and said, man it's been a bad week, first Charles Bradley now John Bonham, 10 to 15 seconds later, oh yeah, damned Sr moments. | |
| Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp? Everyone needs a set of these in their proverbial drawer, they are only about $65.00 and can come in rca or balanced can be used between amp and preamp (this is the way I use them typically) but can be used at the source as well, I have the 10db o... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? I keep a Grace F9R on an extra VPI arm wand and use it from time to time, don't know that it isn't nostalgia that keeps it in rotation or that it really does sound that good. I will always have one as well as my XYZ Universe and my Mayabi Standard. | |
| Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp? Good luck if your dealing with Al, good guy but just can't get right on delivery times. Sent him a M3A for repair, wound up trading it in on a NOT YET BUILT M3B, promised in 6 weeks delivered in 15 months with delayes every 2 weeks, thought I woul... | |

| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers There is just something about a piece of audio gear when aesthetically appealing to us just sounds better in our system, I believe that although audio is a hearing thing the other senses seem to add to the experience as well and just enhance our o... | |
| Man this is frustrating The Cardas Cross phono and a set of Cross interconnects used would fit that budget and would be a great combo as you upgrade table later if so desire, also the VPI phono is a great choice as it is wired with the same wire in your table/arm. | |

| Cardas: Cross vs. Reference and Clear To follow Stringreens comment, the Cross were the only ones I liked I really didn't care for the others mentioned. | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? @david_ten , yes sir, what's your pleasure? | |
| Cardas: Cross vs. Reference and Clear There seemed to be a little more weight to the overall presentation in my system with the Cross in play. | |
| Preferred AES/EBU 110 ohm digital 1.5 meter cables you recommend I settled on the Acoustic Zen MC Squared for that task but please bare in mind I was in a price range of up to $300.00, you seem to have a higher budget but would still love to hear how the A/Z fairs if you compare it to more expensive offerings. | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? I have met 3, living in the Houston area I run my adds welcoming in home demo and or p/u. The 1st was a member that came from Dallas to pick up a pair of B&W 802 speakers he just wanted to p/u and run but since they were hooked up he wound up ... | |

| Analog Front End Next Upgrade @nordicnorm, your argument that solid state phonos offer more bang for the buck than tube doesn’t wash especially with your comparison of a new Allnic 1201 at $3,500.00 (can be bought new from a dealer on Agon for less than $2,600.00 and have sold... |
