| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued @au_lait I didn't know the VTPH-1 had a silver faceplate. I thought you could get them in any color as long as it was black. I saw the other VTPH-2 faceplates, but ended up choosing the brushed silver. Matches my VTSP-3A (r03). My M1 amps al... | |
| Need opinions on ceiling reflections I would get 10 - 15 5 foot artificial ficus trees and 2 to 4 7 - 8 foot artificial ficus, as leafy as possible. I would position two tall trees and enough small one behind the speakers to "hide" the green wall and a tree in front of the wood pane... | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms I might add that different arms behave differently. Not all gimballed arms will be as good as the latest (last) Jelco, probable some better. The JMW-12 arm is an early VPI design, much improved over the years but still better than many. | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms I lived with both gimballed and unipivot. Own very good VPI JMW-12 arm, two arm tubes. They are quite difficult to get "just right." And I still found the sound a bit lacking. The arm is on a VPI Aries Extended table. No particular difference... | |
| Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)? I use natural rotons that spin in a positive direction and filter out all those unnatural rotons that spin in the left direction. The left-spinning rotons are almost in the same category as bad electrons. All it takes is a special cryogenically ... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? @terry9 You said "Not this science."That is NOT science. NOT the scientific method. ALL science must be subject to skepticism, and observed data. Just because a narrative fits a political agenda does not make it science and immune to review. | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? @terry9 "Accepted science" requires proof, not conjecture. Science and the scientific method REQUIRES healthy skepticism, not blind acceptance. (Think of how dangerous pharma could become without healthy skepticism and hard proof.) Every man-made ... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? @terry9 Science and math is not political. Going against science and math is political.I'm tightly aligned with science and math. With which group are you aligned? | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? All this bs about energy consumption is not based on ANY science on this planet at any level or any narrative. Are there any rational people that actually believe that something like climate change could actually be caused by man? That is so stu... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? @ asiaaudiosoc7 - 1) Could you please cite examples of amps burning down residential houses. Provide links for articles specifically noting the cause of the residential fire that destroyed a home was a high end audio amplifier. 2) There's no nee... | |
| Need some advise please on a 30 year old system The IRS Beta's are not worth a plug nickel. If they're still working, I'll be by to pick them up and won't even charge you for hauling them away. | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Sorry, I meant DH-220, not DH-110. | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @nitrobobHafler DH-500s were great amps once their front-end boards were modified. The biggest problem with the DH-500s was the variable speed cooling fan. It would always kick on during the quiet passages AFTER the big crescendo. Like the DH-5... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Several amps come to mind when I think of old amps that still kick butt. ARC D76 with all the final mods. VERY NICE. ARC D79 with all the final mods. Even better with very good dynamics. These are classic tube designs with a lot of attention p... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up NEVER TRUST YOUR EARS WHEN YOU'RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Upper midrange and above frequency balance is skewed and perception is not as keen with alcohol coursing through you veins. Always best to do audio evaluation completely sober. Once the sys... |
