| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong And the 2023 "Golden Boot Up The Arse" trophy for trolling goes to (drum roll and earth-shattering silence) -- @kenjit...er, I mean @lion! What an amazing come from behind victory with so many contenders this year, but @lion wins hands (and liste... | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles Fellow members, with the apparent glut of used ARC gear for sale, what would you consider to be the best Tube Phono Preamp "bargain" available? I recently acquired an ARC SP-17 preamp and McIntosh MC-225, and I've been told the phono preamp in th... | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles @tunehead -- Sorry to appear dumb, but what is CAM? | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Lunatic fringe I know you're out there You're in hiding And you hold your meetings I can hear you coming And we know what you're after We're wise to you this time (We're wise to you this time) We won't let you kill the laughter Lunatic fr... | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp @larryi and his eyes beat me to the post. That resistor below the Diode labeled "R762" and above the Diode labeled "D753" got toasted....and not in a good "hitting the bong" way! I understand the sentimental value of gear. I inherited "Klips... | |
| What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables?? I bought a Fluance RT-85 Turntable around 2018 or 2019 after reading good reviews online and watching a Steve Guttenberg video. I was putting together a budget system for a 4th listening room in my house, I didn’t want to put a huge dent in my wal... | |
| technics sp 15 I hope I'm not the only person confused by this post. I'm not familiar with this turntable -- is the OP saying the only cord attached to the base of the plinth is the power cord? No Ground Wire or Two RCA Jacks coming out of the turntable guts? ... | |
| Costliest Brainfart @secretguy -- "@kota1 Your level of empathy is underwhelming." Darn it! The message is deleted. I'm always a "Day late and a Dollar short". | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them The Admins of Audiogon really are an enigma. They delete posts after posts because someone says the wrong word, uses the wrong pronoun, farts without saying excuse me, etc. etc. But they are like crickets when someone makes a post that is nothing ... | |
| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET I bought a Dennis Had Fire Bottle 45 Amp and LP3.1 Preamp about 3 months ago that were built by Dennis in 2019 (he signs and dates the bottom of each piece). I replaced the 45 tubes with a matched pair of Emission Labs 45 tubes and oh my gosh...... | |
| Warranty repair wait times - serious industry problem?? @facten -- My thoughts, also. Unless you are getting the steal deal of a lifetime, why would you buy an amp that's still under warranty (implying it's not that old) YET NEEDS service work already? In the automotive world that's usually called ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I'm glad I just hook up my equipment and enjoy listening to music. My Bluesound Node connected to my Dennis Had LP3.1 Tube Preamp into my Dennis Had Inspire 45 Tube amp to my Klipsch Forte speakers. I guess I'm a "Simple Simon". Tip of the c... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? So @stereo5, what should I have for breakfast? Good grief...you ever heard of asking a question to strike up a conversation? I find threads like this enjoyable and informative -- if you play along you might discover some "new to you" music. ... | |
| Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? I’m absolutely ROTFLMFAO at most of these replies. The Selling Cabal that ordains, "I’m insulted by offers that God Himself deems as Low Balling, therefore the Serf doesn’t deserve the sweat off my brow", can happily be one of those listings I’ve ... | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? @uncledemp The Schiit Loki is amazing. Allows fine tuning without overdoing it, and the price is ridiculous. |
