upscale audio is this legal?
Sorry but the buyer is at fault. You want to come back over a year and a half later??? So the burger I ate last year at McDonalds was terrible so I'm going to go demand a refund now??I have tubes from Upscale and they are great. Tubes from other p... 
I've been gifted a pair of Thiel CS2s
I have these speakers and picked them up off craigslist for not a lot and use them for a 2nd system. They are very coherent which is a huge plus on them. The down side is they don't dig as deep as other speakers but they image very well. I have th... 
VTL MB300 Delux modded vs MB450's
I didn't call VTL at all. I have called them in the past and really the biggest response to any question was along the lines of buy our new amp. Or at least thats the way it felt after I asked how much it would cost for them to do a check up on th... 
The color of audio and ambassadorship
So I'm going to comment from my view of being a younger guy in this hobby. When I first started out I had no where, I mean no where to go. I didn't know what stuff was or what difference it made. I was 23 fresh out of school and wanted to try to p... 
Ads with no picture WTF??
yeah I gave up a couple times I tried to post before. Just wouldn't work. I'll have to try again but I still don't care for this "new" audiogon. 
Anyone in Cincinnati, OH?
Eh I don't have much of a choice for location besides downtown. Everything I'm doing is downtown and within blocks of each other. So far city doesn't seem too bad but it was HOT yesterday. I was dying walking around. 
Anyone in Cincinnati, OH?
Thanks for the info. I'm staying at the Millennium Hotel and was planning on just walking around the area to see what's around. Its good to hear there are some audiophile's in the area. I'm in the middle of WI with a very small group that holds an... 
LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65"
Yes there are several that still are engery star rated. I think the 65" ST series is rated for 32 bucks for what the energy sticker claims. I saw it the other day when shopping, and personally don't pay much attention to it.I love my VT25 and feel... 
What preamp
Your amp is not a truely balanced amp so it wouldn't matter if you use single ended or XLR connection. IMO A9's and Emo gear do run a bit brighter on the top end. I've owned both and that was my experience with it. 
Is good customer service about dead?
I would have to say one of the very best people I have ever worked with was Geoff Poor who owns Glenn Poor's Audio in IL as well as the sales director (I think or a key position) or BAT.Had to be the best time I ever had at a Hi Fi Shop. Wonderful... 
New way of dealing with Low Ballers?
Bjesien-love it. 
Wilson, Legacy, or ?
Thanks for the info. Has anyone ever compared Wilson to Legacy? I do like that with the Whispers you can place them closer to the walls etc and seem like they would be a good fit. Now I just will have to try and get my ears on them! Also thanks fo... 
Are High End Audio Products Unreliable?
Rok2id "Today the high end business is aimed at a very few folks, most with more money than brains, so, It could be that the Boy geniuses working in their garage or the boutique makers in the mountains, are a lot better at desiging the outside tha... 
digital vs vinyl thoughts
I'm a younger guy into audio. I run both vinyl and digital. They do sound different but once again it depends on the system. If you have a 1K CDP vs a 5K TT, 2K cart, 2K phono stage, well then it's not even.Also there can be so many differences in... 
Don't Feel Guilty Spending $$$
Tmsorosk, I hold nothing against anyone.I'm younger (25) and to make anything of yourself in my area you normally have to start out by working a lot of hours. I don't mind doing so as its the career I chose but sometimes I wish I could enjoy what ...
