| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time "PayPal is scampal for sellers so buyers can rent gear or steal it." What on earth does this even mean???🙄I have used PayPal since 2004 and have not had an issue ever. I sell here and on Ebay and again, no issues. PayPal is great...oh, and Tammy i... | |
| Cartridge suggestions Yes, I agree with above, as a SUT will open up an even wider window to what the Hana EL can do! The SUT will allow you to just utilize existing moving magnet phono input/stage. There will be no major difference in the EL & HL as they are bot... | |
| Grounding Speakers Yes supposedly over time, stranded can develop the so called skin effect distortion etc, at least that is what I've read. Stranded major advantage is flexibility. Solid is a bit more difficult to work with, but is better for a more wide open space... | |
| Grounding Speakers I have the tannot legacy eatons and I use 12 gauge stranded green wire (could use solid copper, but a bit less flexibility), terminated to one gold plated 8 gauge #6 spade to the amp. On speaker end, stripped and silver solder tinned wire ends to ... | |
| Cartridge suggestions The Hana EH would be an excellent candidate. It is about $475 and is the high output version of the Hana EL. It is a high output moving coil. I have the Hana EL and in my opinion it is the best 500 dollar or under cartridge available.A second choi... | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions TANNOY | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! Hmmm, weird, my hana EL sounds perfectly fine at 60 db/ 400 ohm loading. It's got same specs as the SL version. How loud do you want it? Lps are generally not going to be as loud as a cd. I have more than enough travel left on the volume control. ... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... TANNOY | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? Wow, someone bought into the climate change hoax big time! It’s all made up BS! You have been duped by Greta apparently. The earth has been here for billions of years, I think it will survive a few hundred of the industrial revolution. People are ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Frank Sinatra, the world we knew lp, Something Stupid, a duet with daughter Nancy, just beautiful. | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp Sugden A21Se, beautiful tube like sound, inner detail, and bass control. 30 watts into 8 ohms, 40 into 4 ohms. Single ended class A. Drives the Tannoys wonderfully. Using QED Silver Anniversary XT BiWire cables. On a Tangent, my Main source is a P... | |
| Little two-way boxes on a stand.... I give you the harbeth p3ser and the wharfedale diamond 225’s both great standmount 2-ways in their own right. Me, I now own Tannoy legacy "standmount" 2-ways (concentric drivers) and to call them standmounters is a stretch...they might as well be... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? I think that if you need to use a sub then you bought the wrong speakers. Using subs defeats the whole idea of stereophonic 2 channel reproduction and is sacrilegious (lol). Buy speakers that produce prodigious amounts of bass if that is your thin... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Also, forgot to mention, for cd’s try MArecordings.....they are among the best recorded. Just one example. On their webpage there are both stereophile and audiophiliac recommended selections...I would also highly recommend to you to try the Hana e... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading Avoid most all records from late 70’s and into 80’s and 90’s. Unfortunately the quality started going down significantly, especially 80 and 90’s etc...as cd’s were the main focus. Plus they began making the records much thinner and started using t... |
