Curious what the folks here think about the "new and improved" Audiogon. The response on most audio sites has been pretty much universally negative. I know I hate it. The staff and management have apparently responded by going into turtle mode.

I've been looking for an 8" desktop stand for a new pair of monitors. The Atacama SL200 seems perfect, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere outside the UK. I'm surprised that this category seems not to exist. There's the junky wood technology stuff, and then.. nothing. Any suggestions?

For the Stax experts, I'm wondering what would be the best type of solid state amp to drive a transformer (most likely a WEE). Since not a lot of wattage is required, I was thinking that a pure Class A, zero negative feedback MOSFET design like a 30 watt Pass Aleph would work well. Should I be...

Just caught last night's Conan. It was great to see Soundgarden back and playing live, and Chris sounded better than he has in years, especially without the awful compression of the Audioslave albums.   http://www.teamcoco.com/

Is any one else interested in Sony's latest Alpha series creation? I've been looking to make the jump from P&S to SLR for a long time, but I've always been put off by one thing or another. The Canon Rebels are plasticky, and it seems like Canon intentionally designs them to be uncomfortable to...

Hey folks,   I'm looking to make an upgrade from my Sony MDR-7509 and Cowon S9 that I currently use when traveling. I bought a Beyer DT880-32, which sounds OK out of the Cowon, not great. I was able to hear the DT880 on a Hifiman HM-801 and was much more impressed with them, but I still feel...

I have a question for J.River Media Center users. I'm playing around with the program and I like it, but I can't figure out how to get the program to stay on top of other windows. Specifically I'd like to keep the mini mode on top, but I can't find any option to do that.

Edit, sorry didn't realize this was already posted.

Just curious if anyone has done an A/B with these phones yet. If you have, please post your thoughts.

I'm curious to see what the result of this will be. Audioslave seemed to be going downhill pretty fast with their last record, and Chris Cornell's most recent solo album was absolutely horrendous. Will they be able to pull something together that can measure up to Zeitgeist, Black Gives Way...

I just bought a pair of STAX O2 Mk1s, and I'm trying to decide on amps. I'm not interested in tubes, so I'm looking for suggestions on the best SS electrostatic amps available. It seems like the currently available choices are just the KGSS and SRM-727II. Does anyone have experience comparing...
