| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often To reject hard to drive speakers would be to reject many a great sounding speaker. Some speakers that appear hard to drive from a quick glance at basic specs, turns out they are easier to drive than first thought. All depends on where the dips in ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Unfortunately, many in this pursuit tend to fall in love with the equipment, me included. The music tends to take a back seat. I get the post...but to make it stop, refrain from reading here, and also look away from any new reviews. Without discip... | |
| Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Just grabbed an Accuphase e280, $6700, ouch. Did not need it really, but what the hey....was told it was last one in US, with over 3 month wait for next shipment. Privacy increased from $5999 (by $700 bucks, crazy!) , but crazy I am I guess. So I... | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? Hardly ever listen to my system, due to work, family, unexpected circumstances, disinterest (at times), and laziness. In spare time, I'm usually on my phone lol. I know, a shame, considering I spent thousands upon thousands of dollars over the yea... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @tds3371 Thank you. Yes, I was surprised of this outcome myself, and was also unaware of a refund without effecting my account. Any how, I'll have to now relist this cartridge, albeit now slightly used. | |
| Tubes or Solid State? Class A solid state for amplification (I prefer integrateds for simplicity, space & cost savings), paired with tubed ancillary components, such as phono stages, dacs, etc...Sugden, tavish design, Ear and border patrol come to mind. | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS Why not just buy a Sugden amp and end it. You will no longer have a yearning for anything else....read up on Sugden, they were the first with SS Class A in 1967. No BS class A that transitions to class A/B....I had not even heard of Sugden, but a ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @tylermunns wow, that's quite the fiasco....I've bought a few discog records, most as described, some not so much...yeah, the wording is a bit odd, but it does say I'm not responsible for any reimbursement to either buyer or eBay. I'll still keep ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @tylermunns thank you, i do hope someone got something usefull from all this. You just never know who is buying your stuff, despite him having 100% pos feedback....well so do I! 100% pos since 2004..... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @dill here is the message from Ebay. Take it as you may, maybe I’m reading into it or assuming, But from the way it reads, I’m not affected. I believe the money comes from their ebay satisfaction guarantee, who knows... ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers Well, this has come to a close. The buyer opened a case today, and Ebay took very little time to review it. They decided to close the case and issue the buyer a full refund. However, I was not impacted whatsoever, as no money was removed from my a... | |
| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? The longer the run the higher the gauge generally. I have settled on Audioquest Type-4. It seemingly does not add or subtract from the music, and it is relatively affordable. Yeah, would I like to get my hands on a run or two of Auditorium 23’s? C... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? I'm happy with my tavish design classic, no where near the money of some of the above mentioned. I like my phono stage to be tubed. My next step up will be the Adagio. It has everything anyone could possibly require at only 2300 bucks. |
