| Tekton Design Moab Another side note in a thread of side notes: I’m sorry to see so much casual acceptance of the decline of audio stores and the rise of internet sales. While it sounds nice to say that "word of mouth" sells speakers, it’s at least equally true that... | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. GREAT thread! We all have to adjust to our bodies and our aging, and this thread is filled not only with good advice but also with hope and determination. As the Grateful Dead sang, "the music never stopped." | |
| Should a stereo soundstage be 3D or 2D? If speakers aren't time aligned, do we get 4D? | |
| About Shipping Air Cargo These multiple posts advertising a company seem like spamming. Is this within the forum's policies? | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? I appreciate this thread very much. I've haunted stereo stores since around 1975, and I've certainly experienced my share of places that are unwelcoming. Luckily, I found a store owner in New Haven, CT, who was open and generous, I stuck with him ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thanks, all. With only a hint of a wink I told my internet-savvy, teenage son that I've got new friends, men whom I met on an internet forum, and they want to meet me. He rolled his eyes and said, "only on an audiophile forum could that not sound ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Sure! I don't have much of a sense of when it'll be, things being what they are... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thanks, Ron. That's a very helpful idea. Funds are always limited! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions Thank you, everyone. I've never been a "hobbyist" in the sense of going through multiple speakers, buying and selling used equipment, and for that reason I have almost always bought new speakers (or demos, sometimes) with the intention of keeping ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions You guys are great. Thank you! Yes, that "flexibility" and ability to "disappear" are very important to me. I'm not sure why I haven't looked more carefully at the TREO; I'm on that. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions I've heard *of* them but never heard them. It looks like there's a dealer in Buffalo, and that's probably too far to shuffle off to. But I have heard great things; I'll keep them in mind! | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time That's exactly what happened. It doesn't make any sense to me; the dealer was not in my state and the item isn't sold in my state. But--thanks for the explanation. | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time I had an unexpected surprise when I bought a piece of used stereo equipment with PayPal a few months ago: *after* I got through accepting all the conditions and was committed to the purchase, they added sales tax. I could see no way to go back and... | |
| some help with speaker placement/purchase @soix et al: I'm trying to ask a simple and direct question. Perhaps it's a question that needs more context but if so, I'd like to understand that, too. I'm here to learn. And I will assume that your comment "garbage in, garbage out" refers not t... | |
| some help with speaker placement/purchase Thank you. I've never heard of Dutch and Dutch. Interesting. I'll do some research!Let me use the picture in that link as an example as those speakers are backed up to a wall of glass. How compromised are more familiar speakers in that placement (... |
