| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound I'm sorry to see that Mr. Tom Trich, while having nothing useful to contribute here, yet insists on belittling those who are knowledgeable & experienced & have *been there* & *done that* with great success. Yes this is personal Tom; tr... | |
| Stacking OK???? Stacking is never advisable although sometimes you're forced into it. In those cases, as Photon advises, try to isolate the chassis if possible. Use Vibrapods or Mod Squad footers at the very least. Later on when you begin experimenting with vibra... | |
| Turntable help Please Pops I had one of those Philips TT's way back in the day & had a lot of fun with it. However I agree that it's not really worth investing a great deal into it, as there's better product available now even at the economy level. Careful cartridg... | |
| Paul Klipsch passes away. I've always regarded Paul as such a genius in his own right, yet the guy was such a down-to-earth human good-ole' boy. When you talk with him in person / face to face, he's not the least bit arrogant or above-board, he typically acted pretty much ... | |
| RIP: Paul W. Klipsch I've always regarded Paul as such a genius in his own right, yet the guy was such a down-to-earth human good-ole' boy. When you talk with him in person / face to face, he's not the least bit arrogant or above-board, he typically acted pretty much ... | |
| Why the lack of interest in Accuphase? Dan 2112 if you're interested in Accuphase product but are seeking a nice discount, you don't have to buy gray goods to get a good deal. You can easily get around 20% off list price from two diffrent authorized US dealers: Audio Unlimited in Denve... | |
| Horns + tube amps: can they handle LOUD like SS? MWilson please don't let these guys talk you into tubes. I tried them with my Klipsch & was very diasppointed, & this was with highly regarded Sonic Frontiers & VTL equipment, not some cheap imitataions. Hot, noisy, microphonic, expens... | |
| Reducing background fizz and pops on Vinyl. I have very little surface noise problems & I don't even have a cleaning machine! I do want to get one, but presently lacking any space to install one I've simply been doing without. What I do use is the good old DiscWasher handheld wet cleane... | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound Power conditioningReplace that Monster Cable with at least Powerline (if you prefer to stay with Monster)Experiment with interconnects & upgrade AC cords | |
| Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS? Personally I'll take a mosfet design over bipolar or glassware any & every day: I just love the mosfet sound & everytime that I try out something else I've always eventually gone back to mosfet's. I've gone through a lot of equipment over ... | |
| Marking Items Sold There's another good reason to NOT delete the ads of a sold item, that being Audiogon's price-tracking online blue-book feature. If you delete the ad then the selling price doesn't get tracked by their system at all. I also prefer "sale pending" f... | |
| mixing tubes and transistors Maybe or maybe not a hazard; damage potential may indeed exist. It depends upon what the preamp does at its outputs when power is applied &/or removed. Some are safe & some are not; if it outputs any transient voltages then that would be c... | |
| Amplifier Fan Your large fan might be a bit overkill & should not be blowing cold air onto the equiment anyway; orient the fan to draw heat away from the amp which will keep it much cleaner (you're presently packing dust into your amp). I use 4" muffin fans... | |
| Why the lack of interest in Accuphase? Perhaps buyers are a bit shy of some of this pricier equipment, or your asking price is just a bit above market. You also might consider showing the $7000 list price in your ad so that buyers will better understand the deal that you're offering. O... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? Although we don't know your musical preferences, Stevie Nicks' Enchanted HDCD boxed set is one that I particularly enjoy time & again. It's not even identified as HDCD anywhere (on the box or discs) so this was a pleasant surprise indeed.And I... |
