| must you play music to break in tubes I've tapped the tube of tubes with a pencil eraser before with excellent results. Now I'm not telling you to do this, but I'd do it again if I had a little static or popping before giving up on them. That said, the seller might be full of it as s... | |
| Focal v Wilson I was passed down some old McIntosh gear and while I loved the nostaligic feeling I felt like I was driving a 74 Cadillac with a faulty sway bar, bald tire and a dirty carburetor. The feeling of me being 10 years old wore off in few weeks and I ju... | |
| 1960 Klipsch Heresy Value There is a good site that combines most sold hifi gear from the bigger players. It's called hifi shark. it's pretty easy to use, just make sure you are looking at sold and not listed items. It's not perfect because it gives you the last "listed" p... | |

| How you know your system is improving? I'd like to add that your senses, mind and attitude are all part of your endeavor. Sounds cliche but your mind will expand and learn over time, your senses will become more acute because you're are focusing your energy on them. Your attitude or se... | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 I somewhat agree with Toronto416. I've also heard that the speakers are relatively indestructible (blowing) as far as the drivers are concerned. My concern would be if someone put a broomstick or something through a driver. Who will fix it? Are t... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? @bigwave1 I bought a pair of Bose 401's from Crazy Eddie. | |
| Spendor D7.2 Pairing - First Watt F8 When you said large and open it makes me think less boundary reinforcement and might be better of with something like the Volti or Forte 4. I’ve owned Devores, Verity, Daedalus, Zu Union, and demoed the D7. I really like the Forte but I’m in a les... | |

| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... @tomcy6 the cabinet quality is very high. To say this design is a monitor with a dedicated sub dumbs it down, but I think this design gives them the incredible dimensionality. | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... My first introduction was a Goodwin's in Boston. I went up to listen to some speakers in 2003 or so and came home with a pair of Taminos. They were very dimensional, colored a bit, but I loved them. A bit later a local dealer began carrying Dev... | |
| Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent... @jc4659 Yes heard from a source very close that it is true, they are no longer in business. Too bad, a reminder that everything is fragile. | |
| Threshold Stasis S/150 My dad gave me his old McIntosh gear. It's great and nostalgic and rebuilt to spec but it still sounds like 70's gear. It's great for the time period and fun to have but never want to pull out the Leben or the Pass to play the old stuff. That sai... |
