So, tonite I gave myself an early birthday present - a Mirage PS 12-90 subwoofer. Used, but in immaculate conditioin, I'm listening to it thump away right now (46 Days - my TAB tape - 11-7-2005). I'm so happy for myself, I just wanted to share...
Anyways, back to the subject: I love Audiogon. Going on Nick Gregory's advice, I've been doing a zip-code search on Audiogon. I've been looking for speakers, but when a great deal on a sub came up, I jumped on it. The damn thing was only 2 miles away, waiting for me in a playback-geek's closet... That guy had so much crap - 3 (yes, 3) systems in his living room. He was using Triangle speakers, and was ABing a set of Usher's against another set that I can't remember... Tube amps sitting around, crap and cables all over the floor and hanging off other crap... He said now that he had 2 divorces, all his money was now going towards what HE wanted...
Anyways, I recommend zip-code searches to beginners and veterans alike - great deals can be found on Audiogon.
My meagor playback system is now:
Input > Sony TA-1000ESD > [B&K ST-140 > Infinity Infinitessimal Micro II] + [Mirage PS 12-90] > Ears
Next to upgrade are the speakers, then the transport... Oh yeah, and some more cables from Segue... Playback hobby is as bad as the Recording hobby! UGH!!!
