| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? I own the M120s, and they are just phenomenal... I would put them up against any and all oncomers. | |
| why do so many discussions turn contentious? Simple solution to this problem, folks...Ban those who can't play well with others. It's called responsible site moderating. | |
| How Hot is Too Hot - Diablo 300 - Hell Hath Some Fury…! Am also in South Florida and run hot gear (First Watt M2 and tube monoblocks), but with a constant 72 degrees. I have found that low 70s vs high 70s makes a big difference in amp temps and would give Gryphon a call. You don't want to burn that pup... | |
| Black Ash..... Black ash can look great. In fact, I'd choose it over most finishes. | |
| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? Listening to Kenny Barron through my beloved SP 1/2E's now (circa 1997)...will never EVER sell them, as they soundly stomp on everything I've heard in the last 30 years. I thank the heavens I bought them when I did because at today's prices, forge... | |
| any speakers using all Scanspeak Classic drivers? Odyssey Audio’ premier 2-way used the Scans cut paper driver and 1.5” tweet. | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Spendor SP 1/2’s...will be buried with them! Simply the best. | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Inauthentic ripoff of Jackson 5 and meaningless lyrics; and someone needs to tell that guy he dances like my 11 year-old niece (i.e. like a girl)...BAD music! | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers Approx 25 years in this hobby has taught me that one should not have to work so hard to enjoy a new purchase. If a component is going to work, you will know it quickly and instinctively, and without having to ditch 1/2 your CD collection...what a ... | |
| First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla The M2 has been my only amp for the past 3 years, and paired with my Spendor 1/2s and AI Modulus 3B (or Quicksilver Pre), it is an astonishingly good sounding component. It does everything well, imo, and will reflect accurately what is upstream, w... | |
| Bybee Active Room Neutralizers My thoughts are that Bybee products are rubbish and quackery. | |
| Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp? Will probably make many mad here, but I ordered an MB3 recently, and it was on my doorstep in 10 days. When I saw the box, I think I scared my neighbor when I exclaimed, "NO WAY!" Apparently, AA is pretty unpredictable in their delivery, but boy ... | |
| Pest Inspection I had very good success by playing Kanye West. Apparently, the 'auto-tune' frequencies disorient the bugs, making them walk in circles and hold their little feet up to their ears. | |
| Stay away from the nad It depends on which NAD era we're talking about. My 7225PE I bought in 1991 has been used, abused, played at beer parties outside in the freezing cold, and left powered continuously on for one 10-year stretch...not one hiccup and it still rocks. H... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "Anyone tried the fuses filled with bees wax? $175 per fuse."Have not tried these, but I tried the version filled with s*&t. Sounded great until my amp took a dump on my floor. |
