| Dumb question #643: should speaker cables last a lifetime? Yes, they will last.....unless you start reading audio forums :-)All sorts of entertaining posts on the various audio forums. Sometimes I have to look twice at some of the snake oil that comes across. | |
| Dumb question #643: should speaker cables last a lifetime? Thanks for info. I unhook speaker side of cables probably once a year (cleaning floor etc) but have never really unhooked amp side ( bare wire connection). I will unhook that as well and ruffle wife ends next time). I'm looking at a new pair of Zu... | |
| Looks like B&K is back I'm wondering if it's just rebadged general Chinese components or actual thought and care has been taken. Time will tell. I love my old B&K st140. I doubt if I ever consider a new one | |
| Yamaha A-S500 85WPC Easily Driving ATC SCM11 v2 I'm considering a Yamaha integrated myself. I heard a Yamaha As series amp with some Zu Omens last year and was blown away. Much warmer than I anticipated. i have Zu speakers myself | |
| Wireless speakers causing negative growth on Surround sound systems? Wireless systems are basically the old Console or tabletop all in one systems ( think sound design, jcpenny, etc) that were in most people's homes back in the day. Audiophiles will always reach for something better, just like back then. Convenient... | |
| NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION Never refund until item is back in your hands. Screw anyone telling you otherwise. I’ve been scammed twice on eBay with US buyers. Both opened a dispute with PayPal. Both times I waited for returned item ( one cellphone and an audio interface) bef... | |
| Do Integrateds sound better than Receivers? It's been my experience that similar priced products within a brand (similar priced integrated vs receiver) will sound about the same. A new $500 Yamaha Receiver and a new $500 Yamaha integrated, even with different s/n ratios, etc, probably will ... | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor B&K was purchased and never has started back up. The web site has been the same for the last few years. | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor As, based on your original post, I am inclined to believe you WANT the EX442, go for it.Yes. In the scheme of things, $550 is dirt cheap for an amp plus I already know the general sound characteristics. | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor I've only heard the Zu's briefly at shows, so I can't comment on their particular considerations. While the ST 140 is lovely amp for it's price and limitations, both the B&K EX442 and the c-j MF 80 share a similar sonic character, but are bet... | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor If you are happy with your B&K ST-140, stay with B&K. DO you have an estimated cost to have the caps replaced in these units? About $250 and that includes installing a new, longer power cord. The current cord is fine, however, it's about 4... | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor I've come to learn after research that $770 is a bit much. I have found them for less than $500 online | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor The same person also has a CJ Mf-80 that he will sell me ($700) in perfect working order. Would that be a better buy than the ex442 for $300 for the long term? | |
| B&K ST-140 vs ex-442 sound charactor Thanks for feedback. I think I'll pick the amp up. I'll try it out, if it does not suit my system, then I'll just have the 140 updated. I really like the B&K amp I have. Very musical. | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Here's a question for Tube Users. I love deep bass and have always (both tone controls and EQ whichever I had) bumped up the low end a bit. On the same hand, I'm not a fan of external Sub Woofers. One of the best things I love about my low end B&a... |
