| The Bold. The Outrageous. The Projects You've Done. And, the One's You Shouldn't Have. Thanks. I can wire a house, but I can't build an amp. I get lost in all the teck jargon thrown around in a lot of posts. Luckily, my ears don't care. 😁 | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I find it interesting how often we equate the sound quality to the price we paid. I have interconnects made by Morrow Cables and my system sounds great. I only buy from Morrow during their 60% off sale, which happens to be going on right now. A... | |
| The Bold. The Outrageous. The Projects You've Done. And, the One's You Shouldn't Have. @waytoomuchstuff Hey John. Love the speakers. You didn't limit this to stereo stuff so I'll go in a different direction. From a couple years ago. I'll just give you the start and the finish. Did this without any help. Not sure I would to do ... | |
| Liquid Stylus Cleaners +1 For the gel pad cleaner. | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl The OP forgot to mention he was playing old LP's he bought at a garage sale for 5 cents each. Now the story is complete. 🤣 | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT I've owned the 6000 CDT and doubt you could find a better dedicated transport for the same cost. Is it as good as other products mentioned at higher prices? Probably not, but that's not the question. Could you buy a better unit at the same pric... | |
| Speakers cause weather changes Headphones. I wonder if that's what Donald Fagen was talking about when he sang "But tell me what's to be done Lord 'bout the weather in my head"? 🤣 | |
| Where to buy vinyl? Not wanting to incur the wrath of Jason Bourne, but I'm not willing to commit to the program. Of used records that is. Some people don't mind a few pops and clicks when listening to vinyl. I hate it. When buying a new LP for my collection, I w... | |
| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either @curiousjim The weight question is above my pay grade. I can only opine that the sum of all material required to build these monsters adds up to 185 pounds. If you are really interested in a detailed answer, contact Roger at roger@soundlabspeaker... | |
| Preamp for Parasound and B&W803d2 Very pleased with the performance of the PrimaLuna Evo 400 Preamp. Pairing it with Hegel H30s so a somewhat similar situation. Tube and balanced. | |
| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either @thyname If you scan up a dozen or more posts, you will see the Bose set up I'm using right now. It's Sweeeeeeeet. On Tues I head to Mexico until the end of April, so there is that going on. There's a place you would never want to own high end... | |
| Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either @curiousjim Ha Ha. New speakers don't arrive until next May. But I will post at that time. | |
| Fees @ebalto You might try searching on HIFI Shark. You will see prices being asked on a specific piece of equipment from all over the world. Easy to work out a resonable buy/sell price? Just a thought. | |
| speakers/ amps liking one another @robshaw You can't go wrong with the Hegel 390 or 590. Great amps and fully integrated. You may find yourself selling the preamp/dac you're currently using. Give them a listen if you get a chance. They do come up on the used market from time ... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? @aolmrd1241 I'm not saying the Crescendo isn't a great speaker, if fact I loved it. And the cabinet work (mine were burled walnut) is some of the best in the world. My point was that moving from the Triton Reference to a speaker that was more th... |
