Also, I’ll mention an anomaly I’ve recently noticed, which is that the "recent activity" link on the forum home page appears to present an identical listing of "contributions in the past XX hours" regardless of whether XX is selected as 12, 24, 48...

Hi Lowrider,Yes, I think I see what you are referring to, that being what is shown under "Your Responses" in your profile.  That appears to be by design.  But to see a listing of threads in which you have participated, which shows the screen name ... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
I’ve posted a couple of screenshots of the room corrections/equalizations that I’ve settled on, at least for the time being, at this link.  One depicts the full spectrum, and one has an expanded view covering just up to 500 Hz. The room correctio...

Looks like the line break issue has been fixed. Kudos to Justin & co. at Audiogon for addressing this issue so promptly, and kudos once again for having responded in similar fashion to the earlier "My Threads" issue.Best regards,-- Al

I'm noticing today (but not yesterday) that line breaks in many posts are occurring in the middle of words.  I've seen that on multiple Windows 7 laptops and desktops, using both Firefox and Internet Explorer.Best regards,-- Al

rcprince  12-01-2015 11:47amWorks fine for me, I’m getting used to it. An improvement in many respects.+1.  And considering the magnitude of the changes that have been made, I find it remarkable that the transition went so smoothly in terms of fu...

Grannyring 11-30-2015 5:35pmI mean we lost our recent activity page. We need it back Agon team as it was with a new look. Very, very important. Without it we are lost.I should add to my previous response to Charles that the "View My Activity" box...

charles1dad 11-30-2015 3:47pmHi Audiogon,The old format had a "my discussion" that allowed me to keep up and be aware of my recent/ongoing thread participation. This appears to be gone now. I could easily follow multiple threads and respond as... 
Help Tannoy XT6F with Primaluna
Ben, I agree with the earlier poster that additional breakin may very well help. However, although most Tannoy speakers that I am familiar with have tube friendly impedance characteristics, unfortunately I suspect that the root cause of the proble... 
Why a headphone amp
Most modern headphones will be driven to ear-shattering volume levels by inputs that are not much more than a milliwatt (0.001 watts). Your 300 watt monoblocks, although less powerful than that when working into the relatively high impedance of mo... 
wyred 500st mk11 and rel sub r528
Hi George,I see nothing in the description of the U-300 indicating that it has balanced or bridged outputs, although there are some references to input circuits being balanced. And my understanding is that the issues you referred to in your initia... 
Thought on OTL tube amps
11-25-15: Psag... That is why Berning refers to his amp as an OTL. Those who say otherwise are obviously invested in saying otherwise.Certainly not true in my case, apart perhaps from whatever negligibly small interest I might have in not having m... 
Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded
Although I'd characterize the sound as ok rather than especially good, I'll nevertheless mention The New Christy Minstrels "Greatest Hits" CD. Very likable music, IMO, including their best known hits from the 1960's such as "Today" and "Green, Gre... 
wyred 500st mk11 and rel sub r528
So if I understand what your saying is to connect the Black to the chassis on the W4S or use the XLR inputs and connect the Black to the Right or Left RCA input on the W4S.Yes, those are the alternatives I am suggesting, but be sure to note that I...
