| Chris Sommovigo has passed away This is very sad and tragic news, indeed. My sympathies are with his wife and children at this time and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. I sold my Insurance and Financial Services Company in 2017 when I decided to retire after 30 ... | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED I have to toss out another thumbs up with @glennewdick comment. In my very humble opinion, any Klipsch Heritage line speaker deserves to be pushed with tube gear -- especially Cornwall's, La Scala's, and K-Horns. My Forte and Heresy's sound so m... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? @erik_squires and @mofojo, Thanks for the input. I acquired a beautiful pair of Klipsch Forte II with Crites Crossover upgrades a couple of years ago, and I'm trying to find a Vintage Preamp / Amp setup to hit the sweet spot. I want a Tu... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? Erik, Fantastic job taking the time and patience to explain your answers to Nyev's original and follow-up questions, and doing so without an INKLING of bravado, elitism, or any air of superiority. Sadly, this consideration of using basic skil... | |
| Why is Audiogon checking my browser? That is an annoyance, for sure. But nothing compared to reading a subject topic headline, your interest getting clicked, and then opening the post to find that it has been deleted by the "Audiogon Big Brother Admin's" who feel the need to protect... | |
| Britney Spears @rockysantoro, no not actually. COVID-19 causes a much lower death rate than listening to Britney Spears. | |
| Something on top of a speaker=okay? I guarantee that one of the better-known members of this Forum will swear up and down that the sound will improve if you put Purple or Orange Fuses in the stuffed animal. The sound improvement will be quantum leaps ahead of the current sound imagi... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @thecarpathian Is this you already flipping it for 3 times your buying price?? 😂 @grislybutter -- This is another Dual 1264 for sale that looks very nice. https://reverb.com/item/24013690-dual-cs-1264-turntable-automatic-belt-drive-be... | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? @grislybutter I would strongly suggest that you take a good look at the Fluance RT85 that already has been mentioned. 3 years ago, I wanted a turntable for a tertiary listening room at my house, and since it was not the main or secondary stereo ... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Transport by Airplane - Checked or Hand Luggage Consider these factors: 1) The current airline flight cancellation nightmare, 2) The hassle of trying to get the speakers from your car, through the airport, and through TSA screening, 3) THEN hoping there is room in the over... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp @oldrooney Again, solid info and I'm starting to gain a grasp. Another simpleton question, in its most basic use, is the purpose of the speaker's crossover then to alter the voltage or signal that is going to the bass, mid, and treble drivers -... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp @petaluman "Depending on the nature of the mismatch, the result could be an amp or speaker fuse blown, or a speaker driver or an amp output section. Your house & neighborhood are probably safe, though!" That's good to know! Usually whe... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp @oldrooney Thank you very, very, much for taking the time to respond so in-depth to a complete stranger. I really appreciate it. I am going to take time to read and reread what you have written. Indeed, Ohm's Law is at the top of the "Electri... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp Pardon my limited knowledge on this subject and a question that may be very basic to many of you. My biggest hurdle with audio equipment has always been the inability to grasp the "electrical side" of the hobby. I've given great consideration to... | |
| Audio Research SP17 @ghdprentice -- Thank you very much for that bit of information. I was not aware of ARC's use of "specific" tubes that may limit "tube rolling". However, with this type of gear I'm in the same boat as you...I would be happy to stay with the "sou... |
