| CD Transports Let me ask, on the other end of things>>> The old equipment that you are using the CD with, has it been tested, rebuilt, or serviced? I ask mainly for the reason that old electronics have great potential, and are worth getting the electro... | |
| Broken plastic guide on tubes - how to tell which way the tube fits in socket? I have the same experience, and had to resort to using magnifiers to try and determine if there was a little more of a chip where the directional 'tooth' had snapped off. Fortunately, there was just a tiny extra piece missing where the tooth protr... | |
| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? All that I am seeing on the driver cones is what is called doping. There is nothing wrong with the cone. The surrounds, is that what you are referring to? Hard to tell by the pics. | |
| AMS-350 V2 ==> Missing components on PCB Is it possible that this same circuit board is made for more than one model of speaker? If so, then it is likely that the missing parts are not supposed to be there in the first place. | |
| What kind of listener are you? I have watched my listening change dramatically over the decades. When I was very young, equipment of any value was not to be found, yet I listened to music with awe, wanting better equipment. That came along in time, and the spirit of the music w... | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? As so many have mentioned here, the room is to be dealt with first. Unfortunately most audiophiles are lying to themselves about speaker placement and room treatment. Tile floors, glass sliding doors, and speaker pushed into corners tell me that t... | |
| Can this swarm fly? My limited understanding is that you may have a speaker set up that is amenable to a swarm set up. The swarm concept may be beneficial since it interacts with the room as the speakers that you are using. I look forward to hearing about your progre... | |
| What CD cleaner to use? There are cases where I use a cleaner. When I do use a cleaner, I just use a spray intended for my glasses. Otherwise, I will just rinse them under hot water , and carefully dry them off with terry cloth, from center to outer edge. Most importan... | |
| My list of seller red flags Jollygreenaudiophile2, You ring a bell with me when it comes to reselling good gear. Actually, there are quite a few of us that think this way. When I meet someone like yourself, it makes me smile. Your right on track in my book. I love to work ... | |
| Stuck at home? Make a kit!! I lost trust in some of the speaker manufacturers. It happened when I was majorly ripped off in high school for a pair of JohnZer speakers. Let me say this though. Had it not been for that disappointment in my young life, I would probably have ne... | |
| My list of seller red flags To get the units that I for upgrade and resale, I use eBay. So then, I am the one who has to pick between lies and price. The ads go out of their way to lie about the component in some cases. Fully tested/inspected means it was plugged in and th... | |
| What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using? Ok, so you have a drop off at say 11k. That is like saying you know the sound of an amp because you have this ONE reference spec... at 11k. What you need to know to get a better idea of YOUR hearing loss, is a complete test. For example, I have qu... | |
| RIP Art Dudley I read an article that he wrote, and it is easy to see how people liked his writing. Funny guy, gets you relaxed to read on, then little bit here and there, he lets you know that he is no fool. | |
| What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using? It depends on your expectations. In a general way I would say yes. My ears know the difference between the sound of my system and the reproduction of it coming through the hearing aids. When I am aware of that, it isn’t as enjoyable. I have tried... | |
| Audio discounts during Coronavirus I tend to agree with 3 easy payments about buying from dealers to help them out. In my part of the country, I try to practice buying local. |
