| GREAT BARGAIN BUYS YOU'VE MADE OR KNOW OF I think Bob Latino's VTA ST-70 is a bargain IF you have efficient speakers. I have lived happily with mine for 10 years. It replaced a $4500 SS amp. | |
| Just Skyline Diffusors Good info. The audiophile & woodworker in me are aroused. I'm eager to see the look on my wife's face when I bring it into the Living room as "Wall Art". | |
| Trying to fix specific issues with my listening area FWIW, IMO, Its not that the AVR runs out of power. Its that it is built for movies. Dialogue & explosions are its main -product. It doesn't need to focus on the 20-20k hz the way that a 2 channel does. Consider it like a good off road vehicle... | |
| Trying to fix specific issues with my listening area I too agree with Millercarbon. AV receivers do not generally do music well | |
| Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic) @skypunk @tablejockey has given you sound advice. A dedicated phono preamp is a must IMO. It should never be an after thought. It handles the most delicate signal. | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @ebm I hear you. I've been back & forth on this brand for some time. That's part of the reason. The other part is that I have spoken to the "turkey" before and came away unimpressed then. Even so, I don't want to be unfair which is why I woul... | |

I didn’t want to mention the brand because now you should Know the dealer. As I said earlier, I do not want to cause a business undue t... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @stereo5 There is no trolling. The only deception you faced was your own. I had told you why I hadn't named the dealer and that I had not got a picture of the blemish despite asking for one. That's why I asked if you guys had read my posts. I su... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @stereo5 @ebm et alDo you guys EVER read the posts? How can I give you a picture when I don't have one? That's part of my complaint. As far as brand name needed, I don't buy it. I was born at night but not last night. Of course I understand the ... | |
| Has Anyone Placed Power Conditioner On Its Face with the Power Outlets Facing Up? @erik_squires Apparently I didn't understand your 1st post. Your last one says, The reason a transformer hums has to do with the quality of the AC, and it's internal construction. If this is the case than it makes no difference how the box is ... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @michaela That’s one reason. But another is that I don’t want to bring disrepute to the dealer ...at least, not at this point. The poor service may be due to this silly shut down. I don’t know for sure. I'd rather let this play out before calling ... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish OK guys. I was planning on making them an offer. I was juts trying to determine what amount. I was in business most all my life so I I don't begrudge a man his pay. At this point, I have doubts about the amp...or should I say the dealer. I called... | |
| Has Anyone Placed Power Conditioner On Its Face with the Power Outlets Facing Up? @erik_squires Can you elaborate about the laminations?@millercarbonI'm concerned that the heavy transformer will vibrate. I suspect they have ssome kind of damping to keep vibrationat a minimum when resting on its botttom. But what happens when th... | |
| Has Anyone Placed Power Conditioner On Its Face with the Power Outlets Facing Up? I would be careful, as the product designer probably didn’t think of that. :) Thanks @erik_ This was my thinking also. Obviously there is more stress on the cabinet. Will that stress cause the transformer to buzz or hum? Probably one of those u... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish @corelli @itsjustme then I’ve always thought 10-12% off to be the norm discount on prime products.I know this isn’t set in stone. But what is "normal" ? Here’s the question I asked. What is so vague about that? Not a poor question. Here’s the ans... |
