| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey 65" all day long. I was redoing my den, and put a TV over the fireplace. It was between a 55" or 65" Frame by Samsung, and after making cardboard cutouts to show size, my wife insisted on the 55". She said, "You have a 75" Mitsubishi Diamond... | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages @jea48 -- Thanks for that tech info. Appreciate it. | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update @rooze and @veerossi I too am "ears wide open" to any additional information that reveals opposing information and would love to know what gear was not included in the online auction list I used to compile my spreadsheet. I was handling the ... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers @hheedah @sls883 I ended up going with Digital Deck Covers for the KLH Model 5 speakers and was so impressed I had them make covers for my Polk Audio Monitor 10's and Klipsch Forte II's. The fit was so perfect, they said the were going to u... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update @grannyring -- I’m not saying anything negative about Mr. Fritz. I never met him and I don’t speak ill of the dead. However, the forum members making comments could have read the exact same article I read in the Washington Post that delved into th... | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update I followed the online auction, and based on my math, the ENTIRE AUCTION, all 668 audio items in the house, only brought in $167,000 based on adding up all the final auction bids. Unreal. In an interview, Ken estimated his entire system build and... | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? I was setting up a budget system in one of my bedrooms to utilize a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 10's that I bought new in 1988 and a Reisong A10 EL34 Integrated Amp I bought in 2020. I was only doing streaming, and after some research I went with ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit @tomic601 -- I have bought from Brent Jesse when I was getting tubes for my new Reisong A10 (absolutely amazing little amp -- I saw a review by Steve Guttenberg and thought "What the hell". It cost me a total of $345 and that included shipping! ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit @tomic601 1961 -- Amazing. You have been the first person that responded to my post, so I did some online research today on my own. I discovered NUMEROUS comments in Forums and articles that said exactly what you said -- the MC225 and MC240 were... | |
| Holy Holostages!! @dorkwad Thank you, Bob. I was having a crappy day until I read your post. Lewis Grizzard could learn from you... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I'm either VERY LUCKY or an anomaly. I have 3 tube amps and 2 tube preamps (McIntosh MC-225 paired with an Audio Research SP17, a Dennis Had Inspire "Fire Bottle" 45 paired with a Dennis Had LP3.1, and a Reisong A10 EL34 Integrated). The stock R... | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction @gkelly @stereo5 Absolutely. How kind that the owner is looking to "break into" the Mid-Fi Market by offering integrated boat anchors that retail for $35,000 instead of $60,000. As we say in the South, "Bless his little heart....". Mea... | |
| Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge. I got a good deal on a Sutherland KC Vibe, and I was blown away at the sound quality I heard for under $700. I can say the same for the Schiit Mani 2. I gave my son a Rega P3 I wasn't using to see if they would get into vinyl, and needed an inex... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for Next Move @mijostyn -- Sir, I like the way you think. To the vast, VAST, majority of music lovers, the Klipsch Cornwall IV’s are an endgame, end of the search, speaker. I know the deal with Klipsch -- they are either revered or despised by members of this F... | |
