| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste I wonder now many of us really are qualified to judge which designer is at the top of the heap or not. The Berning designs are light years better than the Pass products I have heard or owned to my ears. And yes I have owned designs from both. Rave... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? If you need to have work done I would recommend Bud Allen without hesitation. You should do some research on former clients of Roger at Alltubetesters before sending him anything!I have: Hickok 539C, Cardmatic, Heath TT-1, Maxi-Matcher (power tube... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV I liked the 8 ohm compatible statement on the website when addressing the impedance of the Heresy. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV I think it is patently absurd to assume that any redesign will automatically sound better than its predecessor. My point was and is that ports require a smaller cabinet than sealed. Last time I looked simple laws of physics applied to all speaker ... | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? Sonic Frontiers might be the worst tubed piece I have ever heard. Would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. I believe that their amps were better than their preamps. I cant impart to you how much better is available than S.F. | |
| Turntable recommendations If you can find a used Merrill Williams REAL with the mid level Helius arm. Origin live arm also perhaps with a Kuzma table as another mentioned. Probably cant find a Kuzma 4 Point with table within your budget. | |
| Yet another turntable recommendation question Not a fan of detachable headshells for obvious reasons. Absolute no to inexpensive direct drive tables for even more obvious reasons. Probably a Rega with the best cartridge you can find within your budget. | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? I think that a major factor in the quality of this cartridge is that it is very consistent and repeatable. No variation in the manufacturing process means you know what to expect. This is not true of some of the very expensive cartridges. A very g... | |
| Daedalus Ulysses I have heard only at shows and wasnt impressed. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV What I cant figure is why Klipsch would increase the cabinet size and add a port. Perhaps they put in a bigger woofer? No way the bass is as tight or as real and rear ports can be problematic. It would be nice to get Duke's opinion on these issue... | |
| Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer ! Well look to the strengths and weaknesses of different speaker designs in general as a start. Determine what characteristics are most important to you to help narrow the search. To me the only advantage of horns is efficiency. Efficiency can be si... | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung It is advisable to buy from sellers that give you specific test results with tester minimums also listed. | |
| Old Legendary tubes vs New Kids on the block Amperex/Siemens/Tele vs Psvane/TAD/Shugaung I dont understand what risk really exists from buying on ebay. If you pay by Paypal you can send the tubes back for any reason and the seller is more or less forced to accept the return even if they are not at fault. The secret is to say that the ... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. I have digital but I am really a analog guy. As the Klipsch fans on this forum already know, I do not like Klipsch speakers. However I also believe that if a person likes a speaker then this is the correct speaker for this listener. With this in m... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. I would not suggest any Klipsch speaker with solid state amps. They do much better with tubes. |
