| I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house I asked my wife and she said "no problem". I also saw pigs flying around my yard yesterday. The trick will be positioning it far enough away from the back wall. In all seriousness, I actually have an audiophile friend who rents a very large ind... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Ok - Just heard from Sweetvinyl. The SC-2's will start shipping this week, and many of the desireable features, like the Smartphone control app, will be working when the units ship. Since my Indiegogo commitment for an SC-2 beta unit was number ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Well, knock me over with a feather. I have been running my 2000s with a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs and M5-HP crossovers for a few years now, and loving it all. But Monday night, my amp messed the bed. So, I had to disconnect the speakers and sub... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Still running my Thorens TD-166 MkII, purchased new in 1984 (now somewhat modified).Also still have my Advent New Large Utility speakers (recently restored by Millersound) in a secondary system. Got these in Febuary, 1978, as an early High School... | |
| what speakers to buy Buying used limits your losses if you don't like what you bought without auditioning first. Also, some manufacturers sell direct with generous return options, in which you usually lose the round-trip shipping charges. Just be aware of any restoc... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? Sort of... My phono pre is built in to my McIntosh C220 preamp, and it is MM only. I have toyed with the idea of a Step-up Transformer, but the expense of a good one is daunting. I run my modded Thorens TD-166MkII with 2 pickups, each on its ow... | |
| Are the folks at Vandersteen ok? Look, RV is a master speaker designer and business owner. He is not running for office. His nature is to be succinct and to the point. That said, he has never been anything less than pleasant and courteous to me whenever I have spoken to him in... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. 213runnin - Yes, these are bespoke cables, so the full three weeks plus burn in time is not unusual. My second order from Morrow actually took a bit longer than a month. Patience is not something us audiophiles are known for, but, hopefully, the... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them! I heard them at an owner's home. Probably the cleanest, lowest distortion loudspeakers I have ever heard. My only complaint is that they are a "top-down" speaker, and I prefer "bottom-up" speakers with looser bass, even if that means less accura... | |
| Best Budget RCA cables If you are ordering Kabledirekt from Amazon, please be careful. I ordered a mini-to-RCA adaptor to use my audio player in the car and it arrived crushed and bent, and the interior packaging was ripped up. Amazon creditied me with the purchase pric... | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Thanks for the post, asvjerry! Good luck! | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Meanwhile, back at the topic,... I was listening last night to random tracks on the server, and Sheryl Crow's "Home" came on. Whoa!!! Repeated chills up my spine, huge soundstage, emotional impact in spades. It was almost overwhelming. I wish ... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Thanks, intforthemusic. I might do that. However, my next wire purchase will likely be Y cables, as I am adding a new component to my rig soon. Morrow makes them and makes ordering them pretty simple, so I will stick with Morrow for these. Aft... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. initforthemusic: Yes, I read that. It really says nothing at all. There might be very impressive technology in his wires, and the end result is what matters, but that paragraph says practically nothing. All I was able to learn is that his ICs use ... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Through my local audio club I have met dgarretson and rcprince. Dave Garretson is a really nice guy and he is very knowledgable about all things audio. RCPrince is the former president of our local audio club, and is very passionate about classica... |
