| Could Class D really be that good? Eddnog, that pretty much leaves Class A amps. Not many "Dyed In The Wool" audiophile is going to get rid of their expensive, heavy, Class A monoblocks and replace them with them light-weight, cheaper Class D amps even if they sound better! Or wi... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? Do you not know that within each class of amplification there are good and not so good designs. This also holds true in Class D amps. | |
| Am I right for this forum? Remember, this stuff is all subjective and many of the members like the one you mentioned either have left or passed away, don't have any statistics just an educated guess. Email them to see what you can find out. Maybe the ones that left some hav... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale They (Audiogon) don't want to be held responsible for a person's demise because they decided to meet up with a stranger from Audiogon. I used to meet up with people to make purchases years ago and was heavily criticized but not anymore. Consider t... | |
| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures Very interesting and an enjoyable read. Again thanks for sharing! | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review Nowdays truth is in short supply, just keep an open mind and use common sense if you have that. | |
| Dog pissed on speaker Seriously here's what you need to do. Get a bowl of warm water and add a tablespoon of Arm & Hammer baking soda, stir it good then dampen a cloth with this solution, ring it out then gently wipe the area where the pee is. This will neutralize ... | |

I removed mine for sale after I got my senses.back. Purchased some new 6SN7s (S... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? antigruge2, that is very interesting recommendation about trying a set amp. This has been recommended before and I look forward into to getting one to try in the near future. | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms lewn, well if you do buy into that, you really do have one more thing to worry about! | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? I own very large efficient speakers (102db) and although they can easily be powered by a tube push-pull amp tube amp (10 watts per channel) to reasonable and higher levels they still sound really good with the bigger more powerful ss amps. The poi... | |
| Transparent Audio is anything but Transparent More snake oil, I think we have gotten too sophisticated to buy into this nonsense, well at least most of us! | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms The best tonearm is no tonearm. Since that is not practical get one of them fancy wooden tonearms that are hand crafted and are less susceptible to stray electro magnetic pulses. | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off Leave them on all the time or turn them off at night It will not make a big enough impact if you are worried about the environment besides there is not enough audiophiles left to be concerned about. I leave my system on all the time because it sou... | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? Jond, good point, it does only takes one buyer and you have to be patient. |
