| Audiolab 9000P bi amp speaker question Are you doing a horizontal or vertical biamp? That's important because if you do a horizontal biamp, you probably need a crossover to deal with the difference in volume. A vertical biamp avoids that issue. | |
| Tilting B&W 802D speakers slightly forward or backward Its a good idea. If I had a pair I would try it and get back to you. You need to find someone that has these speakers and will let you experiment a bit with them. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? "B&W sells more speakers, high end speakers, than any other company in the world. And the 802 D diamond is one of their best, many prefer it to more recent iterations of the 802 series." I can tell by your post you've never had a pair of the... | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? I had the same issue. For me, the problem was the binding posts. When I connected my speaker cables to the binding posts on my ProAc's the problem went away. | |
| Musical Fidelity M6SCD vs Technics SL-G700M2 "I have a balanced hi-fi, so require the XLR connects and USB/DAC." You require balanced components, not XLR connectors. The components themselves have to be balanced. If both pieces are balanced, XLR is typically the most common type of connecto... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Unless there is something new on the market that I'm not aware of, no surge suppressor, or any similar device, can protect your gear from lightning. It comes in through the ground and is very different than a power surge. However, most companies ... | |
| Analog output from CD player distorted I would take another look at what jeffbij mentioned about balanced and single ended connections. That might still be the problem. Balanced and single ended modes of operation are not compatible. If you want to mix them, you typically have to do so... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research "I didn't audition this pair specifically, but I've heard them in the past and have always wanted a pair. A big problem is to visit a "real" dealer is at least 2.5hrs away. It makes it hard to audition or borrow equipment. This is why I mostly... | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research This is no way to buy audio equipment. If you're looking to fail and be unhappy with your system, this is a good way to do it. You have a pair of Magnepan 3.7's. Look at the recommendations you're getting. All are completely different and everyone... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers He has a good reputation and does a lot of business. However, now that he's very successful, he doesn't need your business and that's exactly how he treats you. I was ready to make my first purchase from him and had him on the phone. Any time I bu... | |
| Denon DP-37F Tracking Issues Move the tonearm around by hand and see if you can feel it binding up anywhere. Also, look at the bar that raises and lowers the arm so you don't have to do it by hand. Make sure its going down all the way, and that its not bent. Something may be ... | |
| F-XLR to M-RCA recommendations I would highly recommend that you don't buy anything until you can confirm that whatever type of adaptors you buy won't cause problems or even damage your system. Typically, XLR jacks and cables are used on balanced equipment and rca on single end... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. I just came back to Audiogon after a being gone for a few years. Its a completely different website than it used to be. Like most of the other audio sites, its been overrun by people that hate the concept of high end audio and post for no other re... | |
| AUDIOGON and REVERB No Protection "I have always found PayPal quite helpful ...." Until they make a mistake and expect you to pay for it. They only know one thing. Its not their fault. And its your money and they have no incentive to help you. | |
| Question about Break in of Weiss DAC 204 What happened to this website? I used to post here several years ago, and we had normal discussions on audio equipment. Now, it seems like half the people here are your typical garbage type that hates audio equipment and are only here to post nega... |
