| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? That reminds me of my first mistake. I had bought a small but good set up when I was 20, including a nice little proton integrated amp. I didn't know how good I had it, and traded it in for a Yamaha receiver that retailed for about the same amou... | |
| adcom equipment..... So to finish off my little saga, I’ve got about 80 hours on the big Adcom now. I’ve used little Tannoy DC4T speakers and the previously mentioned Infinity Primus 362, as well as the Energy CF-70, which I returned.On the Infinitys, it’s a completel... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? Very true, ericsh, as a matter of fact, I presently have a pair of Infinitys that have a bright sound signature, and they probably sound great on the right gear. But on the wrong gear they can be painful.I've got several pairs of speakers, and bo... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? To respond to aewarren,Yes the dealer could have taken more time with me, but it was my fault because I basically made the buy decision based on price(2/3rds off) while looking at the speakers on their website. I showed up at 8:30 pm on Black Frid... | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? Glad to hear I'm not the only one, I'm just glad I was within the return window for the speakers! It's not my only misstep, however.The Parasound P5. Sigh. I really liked the idea of the bass management/crossover for my sub. And truthfully, it... | |
| adcom equipment..... Articdeth above, You suggested choosing wisely on the amp/speaker pairing above, and right you were. I returned the Energy cf-70 today. After 70+ hours on them, the mid range was just blah. No life, no energy, a veiled presentation. They had de... | |
| Take that to good will But you’ve got to admit, some of the prices people are asking for their rusty gold is pretty ridiculous. It puts greed in the mind of otherwise sane people.A co worker started gabbing with me about his Dynaco amp. How he carried it home from the s... | |
| Suggestions for pure headphone amp around $200? Yeah, me too. I know that the OP has made his purchase, but for those looking for ideas, The Schiit Asgard 3 is a great option for not a crazy amount of money. I've got a few pairs of headphones, including the HIfiman Drop 5XX, and the Asgard al... | |
| NAD C275BEE break in period? I've been doing 2 sessions a day of 4 hours+ when possible. You don't need high volume levels.I had the C375BEE, BTW, and it clashed with my Totem Acoustic Rainmakers. There was little in the way of a sweet midrange, at least in my case. These ... | |
| adcom equipment..... I'm continuing with this little Adcom journal for any Adcom fans that may look for Adcom impressions in this forum. I know that I've done the "adcom" search here, and there is limited content to consider.Also, I've made some after market improvem... | |
| NAD C275BEE break in period? Not sure about that. Totem Acoustics, for example, recommends 100 hours or more of easy going on many of their speakers to break them in.I tried turning up a sub of theirs that I acquired, and it started making mechanical noises. After break in,... | |
| adcom equipment..... So I got a little frustrated with the Adcom amp, that I couldn't get it to heat up at all. The speakers are 4 to 8 ohms across the frequency range, with 4 drivers in a 3 way design. They are on the efficient side at around a 92 rating. I have to... | |
| adcom equipment..... As mentioned earlier, I've been running in the 565SE, and as of now have about 25 hours on it. The new speakers have a little more, at 40 hours, so it's a little bit of an experiment trying to evaluate both at the same time.The the way, if any ar... | |
| Schiit freya preamp - any owners out there? Leave it on? I emailed Schiit on the topic of Freya+ and tube current, and they got back to me in a few hours on a Saturday. Other places that I email on a weekend don't respond until the following monday or tuesday. On the tube circuit and the life of the t... | |
| Cookies. Just another reason AGon sucks So the thread title is about cookies, but the OP goes on and goes about jackasses, so I'm confused. Is this thread about jackasses or cookies? On the jackass front, I have to say that it takes one to know one..On the cookie front, I really could... |
