| Popping sound in right speaker Yes, you probably have a bad tube. Try swapping the left and right channel tubes in your CD player first, and if the noise switches channels, you have found the problem. If that does not do it, replace the (single) 6DJ8 in your hybrid ARC LS2 pre-... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? Yes, a class D amp can, a Class A amp is another story when it comes to current draw! | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? I have spent a lot of time with the Ayon Spirit II and III amps, and have heard the Cornwalls many times. I don't think you will be disappointed with them at all with your Cornwalls, which are a VERY efficient speaker. The bass with the Spirit amp... | |
| Worth repairing JBL L100t3 speakers? I took my woofers in person to a local business called the Speaker Exchange in Tampa. There are other such services available that you can ship your woofers to if you don't have one in your area. There is a service advertised on E-Bay that charges... | |
| How to protect against burglary An 8th degree blackbelt in Hapkido, or a pump 12 gauge shotgun should do the trick. A security company will do nothing for you but (hopefully) alert the police to a break-in well after the intruder is done stealing your system. | |
| Worth repairing JBL L100t3 speakers? As Elizabeth mentioned, if the woofers are not making any noise at all, the voice coils may be shot. The woofers should move and play even if the surrounds are in need of replacement. I just replaced the surrounds on a nice pair of L100t3's I have... | |
| How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? Hi Mitch4T:I recently upgraded to some of the new Reference 3A Episodes, which have a "supertweeter" that covers from 20khz to the upper 40khz area. After some experimenting with blocking off the supertweeter, I have noticed that it does certainly... | |
| Burson 160D vs "others" I tried one last year in place of my stock Sony XA5400ES, and found I preferred the sound of the Sony all around. I was really hoping the Burson would fit the bill, for I liked the versatility of it's variable pre-amp output and USB inputs. I gave... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? Yes, they will "rock", or play at high volumes with a modest powered amp (tube or solid state) but that is not what they are designed for. They are a very refined speaker with great tone, clarity and detail. Bass is flat to the mid 30's and dips i... | |
| Is it really possible to compare A/B speakers?? Some great responses from all of the above contributors.As previously stated, the speaker needs to be matched to your personal room acoustics, personal musical tastes, tonal preferences, amplifier being used, and tonal accuracy of source component... | |
| I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . . The same thing happened to me as Krell_man described, and as Roxy54 stated, they changed my info and name under my account description. I have e-mailed Audiogon twice now in three days, and no response. | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? Sound Anchors....No doubt! | |
| Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6 I would put the drivers, crossovers, etc. up for sale on E-Bay. They would reach a worldwide audience, and you should be able to find a buyer who is in need of them (maybe a cabinet maker?) Take the money you get from the parts and put it towards ... | |
| Any Energy rc 10 fans.... I purchased a pair a few years back to hear what all the fuss was about. I sold them withing a few months, and was not very impressed with their sonics. They were attractive looking, but they lacked dynamics on the amps I tried them on, and I foun... | |
| Fuse burned out in shipping? ? It sounds like the seller did a VERY poor job of packing it, and he should have known better. Amplifiers are usually quite heavy, and a mere 1" of packing material all around, between it and the shipping box it came in was quite absurd on the sell... |
