| What to do when buyer claims sellers item broken? Always make clear that the sale is "as is, where is." That is to say, the buyer either takes your word for the condition it is in or s/he can come verify it personally, but you're not going to hassle with him/her if it isn't what s/he expected. No... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? Viridian! Dude! I was so thrilled to learn that I'm not the only one with a High End 8-track system. I replaced all the capacitors with Zen and Crescendo caps from North Creek and rewired with Litz. Roy Orbison has never been ths same. It was as i... | |
| Home theater question I like Thiel speakers very much but I do not believe they are dynamic enough for HT.YMMVwill | |
| Any owner thoughts on the Belle 350A amp? I respect bob and admire his posts but I can't help thinking that something else was amiss in his experience with the Belles amps. I've never heard them called dark before and they've certainly never sounded dark in my system....which is likewise ... | |
| Magic in green alcohol I used Chartreuse. After several applications, the results were amazing.I must try applying it to the CDs sometime.will | |
| M.L. Ascents or Sonus Faber Grand Pianos I encourage you to do some long-term listening before you decide. In my judgment, the Sonus Faber is one of the most listenable, non-fatiguing speakers available at any price. Martin-Logans always sound (to me) fabulous for the first 20 minutes, t... | |
| Any owner thoughts on the Belle 350A amp? I've used the Belles 350A for some time now and am very pleased with it in every respect. My Belles drives a pair of JMLabs Mezzo Utopias. As Rhyno notes, the amp runs very cool and cozies up to nearly any speaker you can name. I respectfully but ... | |
| So close yet so far....oh the pain of it all Oh mercy! I remember that recording. What a little gem to lose.will | |
| What is the cause of Mosfet Mist or Veiling? My understanding is the same as Ralph's, that MOSFETs are actually more linear than bipolar transistors.will | |
| Best or most profound sleeper product Amps from Marsh or Belles.will | |
| Considering the Rule of Diminishing Returns....... I agree with Mdomnick that the Paradigm Reference Series would be a good choice for an HT system. I think they blow away DefTech and virtually everything else in their price range, but then I own a pair of 100v2s so my opinion is not really to be ... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Sam Tellig is far from the first or only reviewer to comment on tube distortion. There is a school of thought which contends that the reason why tube designs, and SET designs, in particular, have a sound that many find so appealing is because they... | |
| Maggies or Martin Logans? I consistently over the years have preferred Maggies but I think this is almost totally a matter of individual taste. You can't really go wrong with either one.Let us know what you decide.will | |
| What about "Pro" vs. Audiophile ????? And not just Elvis recordings, Timwat. You can see that same kind of business in studios that produce "audiophile" recordings. will | |
| What about "Pro" vs. Audiophile ????? Like Timwat, I'm classically trained and have worked as both a symphony/chamber player and as a studio musician. I emphatically agree that many studio folks have ears that the rest of us--even the touted Golden Ears among us--would kill for. In my... |
