    Dollars and Sense in HiFi

    I posted a review of my time with the Yamaha A-S3000 and the retail price keeps coming up. I don't get it. I know people who spend thousands on ammunition, cigars, golfing fees, air fair each year for fun. I started I. This hobby about five or six years ago. I've invested about $2,000 each year...

    FedEx Repacking and buyer's remorse

    Yamaha NS1000 Tweeter

    I purchased a pair of Yamaha NS1000 speakers on the 'bay and they arrived with one tweeter not functioning. I actually had a transporter pick them up for me and the seller felt that the shipper was prompt, courteous and handled the speakers with great care in his presence. They were blanket...

    First (and probably last) audio listening system

    Let me start by saying that I'm getting married in 10 months. As I am not likely to get permission to buy a decent stereo once wed, I'm eager to make a move in the next few months. I have no real experience with high-end audio but I heard the Bowers & Wilkins CM5's at a Magnolia Hi-Fi and...
