| Mountain Kelly surely you're familiar with bigman Leslie West's Mountain release, from very early 70's I believe it was. "Mississippi Queen" has been played literally millions of times since then: this tune still rocks-out IMO.Sorry Parrot I can't answer y... | |
| Micromega problem Ken it sounds like you're onto something with the freezer trick. Have you heard of freeze spray? Get a can of that & when it starts skipping, cool the individual onboard component parts each with a small blast to see if you can isolate the pro... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? Most tedious: had to be building my own amps from scratch. Tweaking the design seems to never end, & even when you do eventually finish, you know in the back of your mind that it could still be better. I only stopped because I was so tired of ... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps The man in Davie Florida is Andy Bartha. Please refer to this recent thread for more info, & also mentioned is Bill Thalmann who can probably fix you up. Definitely check out the URL's referred to in this thread.http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi... | |
| Pwr enhancer or straight from the wall? This is an old debate so you have to try it for yourself & compare. Chang Lightspeed is claimed to not limit dynamics which is one reason I bought a 3200 for my source components & a 9900 Amp for my amps. Stereophile recommends the Chang, ... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... Great thread Tim Tireguy; what a response too!The first record I ever bought was in 1963, a Veejay 45 - Beatles "She Loves You" got it at an old TV repair shop in Riverside for about 89 cents; I guess I was age 9 or 10. I remember being scared to ... | |
| PRE and AMPS same brand ? or different brand? Jin just get started with whatever you can reasonably afford, & experiment with synergy later on as the budget allows. I've seen this work both ways so you never know, but if you wait & wait until it's completely affordable then the stuff ... | |
| Preamp/Amp impedance missmatch? Eadese I also had problems blowing power amp fuses, due to AC power interruption @the preamp. My situation was a bit different (a weighty upgrade AC cord would occassionally become disconnected) and the resulting turn-off transient on the audio ou... | |
| help need choosing betweewn Aragon 8008st/ bb Cj I can only pass on the opinion I've heard from others, that the BB is more amp than the ST both powerwise & soundwise. | |
| "Double" bi-amping a good idea? Tek you might as well try the vertical passive biamping: it sounds like you're presently bridging the stereo amps, which halves their damping factors resulting in degraded control of the speakers by the amps. | |
| Where can I buy a luminous Axiom other than Ebay? you could try placing a free "equipment wanted" ad right here on Audiogon. I've had some good luck with these ads so you might be pleasantly surprised; people do indeed read them. | |
| Audiogon Grading Scale - the gold standard? It appears that Fam124 has just learned the reason why I don't trade on the ebay site. Having said that however, I don't feel that the grading scale here is any better than the particular "selling individual". Most items that I've bought here do f... | |
| CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? Anyone who so thoroughly trashes a product line (such as the above) may have an agenda, but if not, then that perception remains nonetheless. I cannot really speak one way or the other regarding my very limited personal experience with only one of... | |
| ?Best speakers for a 2000 sq.ft loft? Whatever you get they will obviously need to be on the high-side of sensitivity. Consider horns, the Avantgardes perhaps? | |
| how to know what power to get-match speakers best? Cannot agree more with Mr. Richard; you can (hardly ever) have too much power. My speakers are rated 100 watts but I think they sound best with at least a 200 watt amp. One of my amps, at only 100w/ch, is simply inadequate powerwise although it is... |
