    What do you do when your better half is out of town?

    Drag a big pair of speakers from the basement and rearrange the furniture just to see how it sounds. Pretty good actually. How ever, my ADS 1530’s are staying downstairs.

    New appreciation for Sony SS m-7’s

    I’ve had these speakers for a few years and they’ve taken turns as the speakers in my main system. Now, ADS 1530’s are pretty well established downstairs. The Sony’s have been upstairs in system #2 being driven by an NAD 317. That amp started to have problems and is currently on the shelf. I...

    Price Check on aisle 5, ADS L1530’s

    What say you, current expected cost for ADS L1530’s? I know this will be affected by geography, thinking primarily New England.

    Icon Parsec’s anyone?

    There is precious little information online about these speakers made from the 1989 to around 1994 or so. Icon was founded by David Fokos who previously designed the Synthesis line for Conrad Johnson. There is an interestIng article online from Inc. magazine that will come up in a search for...

    WhiteSE great purchasing experience

    I bought a piece of equipment from WhiteSE recently. His communication was quick, his description was spot on, and shipping was way faster than I would have expected. Packing was also expertly done. I would buy from him again without hesitation.

    Looking at AU-g99x and AU-717

    I see that the g99x is 8 years newer and considerably more power. I owned a 517 a few years ago and was pretty pleased with it, although I sold if concurrent with a move. Does the newer g99x also have issues with corrosive glue? I know I have read that some feel quality slipped a bit in the...

    Minidisc makes an appearance on TV

    Recently finished watching season 2 of The OA. In another timeline, how fitting, a therapist keeps his audio notes of sessions on minidisc. The player was a Sony, pretty sure it was a NetMD model.

    Econ, great buyer.

    I recently had a great transaction with Ecod. Communication was prompt and concise and payment was prompt. Jason asked me to start a pile for on sale records which can sometimes be problematic. However, everything went smoothly and I look forward to dealing with Jason in the future.

    Unusual Wharfedales on RI CL

    https://providence.craigslist.org/ele/d/vintage-wharfedale-sfb/6224712264.html No affiliation, I'd be curious to hear them but I think his price would be more appropriate if they had been already refurbished.

    Francis Wolff The Blue Note Photographs 1994 Calendar

    Can anyone give me any assistance in determining a reasonable price for this? As far as I could check on eBay Blue Note Calendars only seem to go back to 2002. Thanks.

    ADS 1530 question

    i just picked a pair of 1530's. Overall in good shape, however, the bases are starting to deteriorate. As things go to replace I think this will be not too taxing. Can I use wood for the replacement or should I stick with something more like MDF, which appears to be what's there now? For those...

    ADS 1590 in RI

    Or not, I've responded three times to the ad but... crickets. https://providence.craigslist.org/ele/5300735084.html Maybe they sold right away, all I know is I got in touch within hours of the posting, it was updated a day ago. I really don't get what people achieve with fake listings.

    Snell EII

    I have an itch to hear some Snell speakers and have been patiently watching. This pair has been up for a bit: https://westernmass.craigslist.org/ele/5139407853.html Do those woofers look like non original replacements?
