Just thought I'd flag this for the community at large - if you have an apartment, or a small to medium sized listening area, check out Avalon's Symbol speakers.

They are positioned between Avalon's NP Evolution and Ascendant models. I don't believe I've ever seen them reviewed in the US, but recently heard them at the outstanding Music Lovers showroom in San Francisco.

BOSTON (AP) - A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal.

Hi
I would like to sell my system that I have now
and try new ones.
But I do now know any place that does buy-back used equipment.
Could you recommend me some website or places (in Washington) that you know please?
Thanks so much

Gents:

Every day a new economic indicator points downward. Most retail stores near me have been putting many items on sale- many substantially.
Yet whenever I visit my local hi-fi dealer, or Music Direct, Audio Advisor, etc., the prices seem etched in stone. I worked for a number of years doing home theater installs, and know that audio equipment has quite a markup, on the order of 40-50 per cent.
Thank you for reading...

Just went to the JuicyMusic web site as I have been shopping for a moderately priced preamp to drive my Jolida JD801A as a power amp.

I ran into this today:

Anyone heard of this technology before?

Got an email today from The Decemberists' PR person who read my selfdivider.com blog (which I haven't been doing a good job updating)... she wants me to listen to the advanced copy of The Hazard of Love, the new LP from The Decemberists that's due out in March & hopefully write about it. Sweet... I asked her if she can send me the vinyl I've read about the album, supposed to be this 17-song suite with a narrative, kind of like a rock opera... can't wait. Will let y'all know more later...

Well, I couldn't think of where else to post this since there is no "Other" category under Audio Hardware (hint) and I want to stay away from General Rants n Raves

Anyway, came across this - http://www.audioholics.com/news/industry-news/apc-silver-blowout-sale/

Seems like very attractive pricing. What do you all think of the H10 and H15 products? Good buy at these prices?

Thanks,

Bob
