| Horns for SET: Low budget solutions Rchau,Interesting that you mention the Onken, since the same guy who had the S.A.P. eventually moved to an Onken based set-up. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to hear that that system. I like the Onken idea, though Onken tend to present... | |
| Horns for SET: Low budget solutions Thanks for your thoughtful post Rchau. To clarify my motives, long ago I heard a pair of horn loaded speakers from a maker called S.A.P. (Strumenti Acusti Pricizione) or something like that. They had the uncanny ability to throw a soundstage out i... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? I've loved my Sequerra MET 4.4 MkII for years. Everybody that has heard them has asked me where I got them. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz I guess that I could have probably trimmed the wide cables down to a thinner gauge and attached them perhaps with no problem. But I'm using a vintage Mac 225 tube amp all the outputs are very closely set together. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz True, but lots of people say beware of shorting your amp out. Not sure it's worth burning the amp for that. In my case, my amp's speaker outs are very close together. In any case, I didn't decide to take the chance. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz Just an update. 671 views on this thread (per audiogon). Also. AC Goertz never provided the terminations. I contacted some of their distributors. No response. Sold the cables as they were no longer of use to me. Be aware. If you purchase AC Goertz... | |
| Western Electric 396A Thanks, I'll see if I can lay hands on a pair of those to check them against the WE. I'm using them in a sophia baby tube amp. The sophia guys suggested the WE tubes to increase transperancy and dynamics. | |
| Western Electric 396A That sounds like a reasonable theory. The WE 396A's on Ebay seem to be going to around 100 bucks per matched pair if they are NOS. But then you can get the 70's stock pair for around half of that from companies like Antique Audio supply. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz And as previously stated...I did call and try to correct the situtation, not once but TWICE. Only after a month am I posting this....this didn't happen after a single misstep. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz I never claimed that AC made any false promises or ripped me off in any way. I only stated that they were rude to me, a paying and repeat customer, as I was also trying to purchase the correct terminations for them (which was my fault for getting ... | |
| Any Putumayo fans? Yes, Habib is great. Baro is good... so is the other stuff. Mostly all the same songs on all the albums. Baro is a bit more mellow than other higher energy albums. Lived in Mali for many years and have seen Habib in Person. Even took him to eat ho... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz In fact, your tone, Jtimothya, is EXACTLY the same one that I got from AC goertz. Are you an AC rep? | |
| Alpha Core Goertz Please point out negative speculation Jtimothya. Not sure where your getting that. I said that I purchased a pair of Alpha cables. Needed different terminations and when I tried to order them, it took a month and still no terminatios. I cannot use... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz And the cables didn't cost $30 dollars... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz No, the point is to ensure that there is motivation to provide good customer service to people who spend hard earned money on expensive products and to warn others if a company does not live up to standards. If a company cannot provide civil and e... |
