| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? Snapon,Now that you're holding your "groin area." How does that make you feel? | |
| Does anyone else think this They used to call it the "generation gap." Life simply moves much faster today than during the golden age of hi-fi. If you have children, you understand what I mean. The younger generation has had to make choices on balance in their lives and ther... | |
| Helpful information about VPI motor hum The right footers can make a huge difference. I bought a McIntosh preamp (MX-130) on this site years ago. When it arrived, I heard a very audible hum (but not through the speakers). I lived with it for years, believing that it was damaged in shipm... | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? I read about your experience and empathize with you and your wife. I have been visiting audio stores for many, many years and look back on a wide range of proprietors. Thank God for Yelp! I live in the Bay area too, and have never heard of Tone of... | |
| Suggest budget CDP to use as transport Pioneer Elite DV-09. They run around $300, used. | |
| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary I enjoyed shopping at Tower. Who's to blame-the internet, youtube, craigslist? It's hard to say. Unfortunately, I expect to see sentimental documentaries on the demise of Rasputin's and Amoeba sometime in the future. If that bothers you (it bother... | |
| Nakamichi PA-7 KEEPER?? You won't go wrong buying a used Nakamichi PA-7. It shouldn't be too expensive considering the age. Buy it. A few years from now, you'll be thanking me on this forum. | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. After all of the money I've invested in conventional hi-end "stereo" equipment, I have procrastinated on moving into computer audio, hirez downloads, etc. Thank you for confirming that decision. | |
| found some old records. advice please. Obviously, content and condition determine the value of any used records. If you have the Doors or Beatles in good shape, sealed in plastic to protect the covers, they're worth much more than 50 cents. The proof for me was the four guys sitting ou... | |
| Power Amp Repair Question Paying an upfront fee for a repair estimate is customary in the stereo repair business. The fee is factored in when the repair work is done. If you decide to have the work done elsewhere then the estimate fee is forfeited. What you're paying for i... | |
| There Coming Back A couple of weeks ago, I posted my Technics SP10 Mk2 on C*list at 4am. By 6am, two responders said they would take it, sight unseen. One offered me $500 over the posted price to ignore the first responder. I sold it to the first responder at just ... | |
| AudioQuest NightHawk Headphones vs LIVE MUSIC ??? This is the second posting in less than a week from the same member comparing the same product. What will these phones be compared to next...sliced bread? | |
| HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ? Listen to the HiFiman HE-1000 phones for yourself and decide. If AudioQuest can make headphones at $600 that match $3,000 phones, more power to them. I'm guessing they can't. Once you listen to the HE-1000, you'll understand! | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... Springsteen used to be one of my favorite artists but I lost interest after "Tunnel of Love." That was the time when Bruce decided that quantity trumps quality. I saw him do an acoustic set at the Berkeley Community Theater in the 90's and remembe... | |
| HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ? The review of the Audioquest Nighthawk phones is flawed. The reviewer admits that he is really a speaker guy, has AKG 701 phones as his go-to phones and warns not to critically listen for 150-200 hours minimum (for break-in). I love headphones, bu... |
