| Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea? Akhan..., I think the advice above is spot on. As I have mentioned many times on the Forum, mostly all my gear is either a dealer demo, a factory rehab or used. ALL, the used stuff was bought off A'gon. And, I followed the due diligence advice ste... | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? George (Hifigeek), uuuhhmm, maybe I could just barter the wife. A couple of years back we visited Jorden and met some very nice Arab herdsmen. I tried to sell my wife to the shiek for 40 camels. He said he would take her . . . but only if I gave h... | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Ff... how have you loaded the Ref 3 outputs, other than the Ref 110? If you have hooked something else up to the Ref 3 outputs (e.g., a subwoofer), other than the Ref 110, what is the input impedance of the other devices? What phono and CD inputs ... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? Ralp (Atma Sphere) -- if you catch my posts and Lew's comments, we would appreciate it if you would weigh in on the quality (sonics and build) of the Crown and Tandberg R2R machines back in the 70s. As I recall, they were SOTA, but mostly for the ... | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Gosh, I feel like a doofus, I forgot to ask if you checked the bias on your KT-120 tunes? | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Ff..., one last question What source inputs (e.g., CDP. TT) are you using. Also, have you plugged anything into the Ref 3 OUTPUT jacks, other than the Ref 110. I have a reason for asking these questions, but it's too long to get into now. | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Ff..., the REDF 3 tubes should be ok. Now, when you say you have 185 hrs on the Ref 110, is that all? IOW, is this the 1st set? If so, I think the amp is still breaking in. You say that the speakers are hooked up to the 4 Ohm taps. Have you tried ... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? Lew, I agree 100% with you. Anything built by Crown back in the 70s would last forever. I still have two Crown amps that refuse to die: I gave the DC300A to my son; I keep the D150A Series II as a back up. Both amps went to the factory for a check... | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Hey Cmalak, checked out the Wilson phase and impedance chart. I was totally floored because it looked very similar to the readings for my Paradigm Signature 8 v2 (w/ Be tweeter). The curves in the bass region look like a double humped camel. Weird... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Correction: Tip Toe Through The Tulips ?? | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Tipping Through The Tulips, by Tiny Tim. I proposed to my wife, Miss Vicky, with Tiny Tim singing his classic hit. | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? Haven't auditioned the Maggies. I did look over the Magnepan web site. I am afraid they will be too large for my "man cave" and my wife will freak, even the 1.7s are too big. She already hates my Paradigm Sig 8 towers -- calls them monstrosities. ... | |
| Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers?? Gary (Hifigeek), no -- I have not listened to Sound Lab products. Can you give me a thumbnail sketch? | |
| Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos? Jwpstayman & David..., do you know the compliance ratings of the Delos and Kleos?? I own a VPI Classic 1 (w/Classic 3 arm). I've had mixed results with various carties. Finally got a SS VPI Zephyr. It works fine.Also Jwp..., what did you find ... | |
| VPI Classic hum Vinyl_lover, did Mike's suggestion help? It makes sense. |
