| 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... | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? I'm currently looking at an ARC Preamp, myself. If you don't mind sharing, what is the price range for the 5SE you are looking at? Thanks. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? By all means, search out a local Record Store and support small business. Most if not all used record stores can also order you new releases from just about any label. On the occasion that I buy online, I buy direct from the independent labels K... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Deciding whether or not to buy the 55,000 Euro SAT CF1-09 tonearm when you buy the 150,000 Euro SAT XD1 turntable....the epitome of First World Problems. | |
| Audio Research SP17 You would be buying a tube preamp with extremely limited to none (depending on how much you are willing to pay) tube rolling options. @dekay -- Pardon my newbiness, but why do you say this? Does this AR use a type tube that isn't made anymore,... | |
| Wall Art @larsman -- Larry, you have some freaking fantastic photos. Some that stood out: the Robin Trower "faces" shots; Phil looking menacing in Thin Lizzy; "Flower" and "Watcher" Gabriel; and of course, David Gilmour. I've heard a bootleg recording of... |
