| Upgrading from a VPI Aries 1- is it worth it? I have an original Aries Extended which uses the 12" arm vs. the 10" arm of the standard Aries, which I assume is what you have. I've changed a lot on it; aluminum platter (used) and periphery ring (came with table along with frosted acrylic plat... | |
| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I have a cabin in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, it is relatively new construction well insulated and well sealed. I have some older equipment, Antique Sound Lab tube integrated, older DAC, and Vandersteen 2Ci, which I have been using there for sever... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci with tube amps I’ve got a pair of 2Ci I use in a second system with a Antique Sound Lab EL-34 based integrated and it’s not a great match. The 2Ci are a bit on the warm side so a vintage sounding tube amp is not a great match unless you like a very warm sound (... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? audioman58 said, "I owned their top dac ,and inside a rip-off for the money the case is cheap like a $300 Blu-ray player ,I almost cut my hand open ,from the sharp edges this too means it rings like a 🔔 no damping inside whatsoever ,on a $5k + p... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? jackd said, "If your DAC doesn't use their I2S protocol it won't do you any good" You won't be able to take advantage of I2S, but as vonhelmholtz said and is confirmed in the video, there is an RCA SPDIF output. Compatible with essentially all ... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? gregdude, what are "coof mandates"? | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? jjss49 said "despite uncle paul's good intentions, the product seems 'me too' at this stage of the game in the marketplace rather late to the party" It remains to be seen how well this product sounds and operates, but there is a reason for it b... | |
| Anybody help me unload all of this on Audiogon…. Dealing with TMR can be easy, though with all that equipment it may take them a while to get back with you on their offer. Also, unless you just want to get rid of it at any cost, make sure you know what it is worth before accepting their offer. ... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience Not sure what type of floor you have your speakers on, but if it is a suspended floor (wood floor over joists) the floor can get excited by the speaker, much more so in the bass region, and become a secondary transducer. This would explain the mu... | |
| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers ricevs, using your line of logic I would bet your speakers sound as good as they look. 💩 Since you have not heard the FR30, please refrain from making judgements on how they sound based on how they look. Also, keep in mind Chris Brunhaver who des... | |
| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers jgr757, you forgot to say "in my opinion" ... Sadly, PS Audio is a failure in high fidelity as it is in for maximizing profits. There are plenty of folks who disagree with you. | |
| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers Per invalid’s post, here’s a link: FR30 crossover – PS Audio As dweller said, PS Audio is not going to AXPONA this year. They lost all of their exhibitor fees from the 2020 show (as did all exhibitors, though I think they got 50% back if they set... | |
| Selling gear with TMR yogiboy, let's just say I haven't checked the fee schedule lately ... 2% is very reasonable, of course at that rate you pay whether you sell or not. The alternative is almost twice that and more in line with what I was thinking. Still, not bad. | |
| Selling gear with TMR decooney, I've sold quite a few pieces here on Audiogon in the past and they have all been good transactions. Of late though, I've heard of sales going bad and now there are significant fees for selling so I have procrastinated on selling things.... | |
| Selling gear with TMR I recently sold two items to them and declined to sell three more items. The three I declined were way too low. One of them was DAC I bought from them a year ago, they offered less than 40% of what I paid them for it. Of the two I sold, one was an... |
