| Best speakers around $130k? I'll sell you my AR3As for $130k. They are 4 ohm if it helps. | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? For a given material, resistance and length formula clearly speaks that the resistance is directly proportional to its length. R∝L Which implies that- When the length of the material is increased, its value of resistance also increases. When the ... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? I have a pair of Acoustic Research 3a speakers on walnut stands pushed by Audio Research M100 monoblocks through a conrad-johnson PV12 preamp with a McIntosh MR67 tuner. My turntable is modern though I still have my original Dual CS508 in the base... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? At that weight, you will want at least partially wood crates/boxes. The originals for my cj Premier 8a monoblocks (114# each) had a wooden bottom. Also, many shippers will only insure if they packed it. You might want to find the shipper first. Or... | |
| Turn Table Decision Thank you for the replies. @yogiboy , I removed the ground tab, and the hum is gone. It befuddles me that a cartridge this old would still have the ground tab, when, at least on the Shure support site, this is a known issue.@ebm @williewonka any s... | |
| How do I pay? @lalitk +1escrow.com is a great service but doesn't cost any less than PayPal. It seems to run about 3% as well. If the seller will not pay for one or the other service, and it makes financial sense, offer to pay the fee yourself. If seller still... | |
| Has Audiogon Been Hacked? jeffdill2,I repeat what I wrote above: "I own several domains with thousands of email accounts (all forwarded). So for each company/organization with which I have a relationship, I create a unique email address. That way, I know who Is selling my ... | |
| Has Audiogon Been Hacked? Thank you, sarahkendall.I am a bit confused. How did Audiogon "take[] down this recent phishing scam?" It was an email, not a post. Did you manage to get the Spanish site it linked to taken down?Of bigger concern is how did the phishers get Audiog... | |
| Has Audiogon Been Hacked? I will confess that I was using Safari on iPad (though up to date) when I received the security certificate errors; trying it now on Chrome on Windows 10, I receive none.What really concerns me is this: Typically these types of phishing emails are... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a Bentley Continental GTC (with factory NAIM audio) as my daily driver.I have no present intention to replace it.My dream (second) car is a Pegaso Z102 Saoutchik:http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/pegaso-z-102-b-saoutchik-coupe-1954.308... | |
| Audio Research M100 Thumping Everything appears to be working correctly now. My guy had to replace caps which had the wrong ones installed, replace tubes which were the wrong tubes, re-solder throughout, re-wire the volume control which had been hacked, and do some rewiring o... | |
| Audio Research M100 Thumping Thanks. I gave up and took it to a "guy." He is finding all kinds of problems, mostly poor workmanship by prior repair attempts. The person who owned it before me spent $1,000 on shoddy work. And it was not local, so he paid shipping too. I befudd... | |
| Audio Research M100 Thumping Is there an easy way to test for a bad Hexfred? | |
| Audio Research M100 Thumping Thank you for the reply.The amps do not motorboat with the preamp turned off. Preamp is from the 80s, but in 2010, the tube sockets, all filter and coupling caps, all tubes, and the power supply (upgraded to Hexfred) were all replaced. With my pre... | |
| Audio Research M100 Thumping After considerable effort on the amps, including all tubes and caps, I think the problem is actually my conrad-johnson PV11 preamp. Once it gets warm, after about one to two hours, the heartbeat begins, now in both channels, volume independent (an... |
