What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
hilde45 It isn't the quality of the equipment that these store have. It was their equipment that brought me into the stores. It was My Preparation to make sure they could accommodate me, their arrogance, their inability to provide a professional e... 
What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen?
Sorry if this rant is a repeat! In the metro Denver area, you will be hard pressed to find a quality Audio store. Yes there are stores that sell quality audio equipment, but their sales staff leaves a lot to be desired. From one store that only h... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
My Bad, they are not particle board or composite, but they are stil rectangular and that creates reflections, cancelations and inefficiency. Also I have a problem with the moniker. What makes them Isobaric? and then there is the 2.5 way drivers. I... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
These look like they MIGHT be good speakers BUT... for the price you are getting off the shelf components. Not that they are bad components. I use the same brands these folks use in my speakers that I design. It is just for the price I would desi...

So, what's up with this, Audiogon?
I would encourage you to write the Admin if you have a problem. Just like an issue lately where I was being blocked form commenting and the admin found that something was turned off. They rectified it without ceremony and all is well now. I don’t ...

What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?

Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience

What is on the horizon for POWER!
@ebm Possibly the multitude of people out there spending thousands of dollars on custom Power cables and Power Conditioners! Just a thought. I mean it isn't like there is some precedence for improving Power in your audio system now is there?  
Audio Research - should I replace the valves?
I do agree with your suspicions, BUT I am a big fan of First saving up and paying CASH. Especially in our current economy. Secondly It should be a time to study the facts and what is worthy or MIGHT be worthy in a replacement tube. Not all tubes a... 
Ground voltage!!
Once again, an article that asks the WRONG question. It should have read, "How do I measure my wall receptacle and make sense of what I am seeing. Instead he makes a nonsensical assumption based on ignorance. Sorry if that stings a little but it i... 
System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
@fuzztone I know I am likely going to take a hit for bullying, but you did it first.  Might I suggest a remedial class in ENGLISH for you. Buy the way I did show this to my cousin who has her Doctorate in English and is an English professor at a ...
