| Speaker grill material, any real difference? Hi all ! I took the grilles from my Thiels to a car audio shop . They recovered them with the same looking stuff that was original . Think I paid $20 for both . | |
| Upgrade rainmakers to hawks,clues,tekton or fritz? Hi all ! I own the standard Lore's and have never felt the need for a sub. They go very low and are very dynamic and musical . Cant comment on the other speakers . My speaker search is over . | |
| Tubes vs Solid State Hi all ! I say try it and see how you like it ,you never know . Building a high efficiency high impedance speaker is tough but apparently getting easier . Mine are 96db and constant 8 ohms . Presently driving them with a 15 wpc tube amp , never he... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hi all ! Looks like me and Mikirob had the same nightmare in the '70 s . Boniccie...wish I had the room for the 'dragons , lucky guy you are . Morganc...I was going to build some bass traps too and then got lazy and just bought some . A nice littl... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hi all ! I dont know about that Crown amp . Just the name brings back bad amplifier memories from the '70 s . The little Belles A150 is a nice little amp and can be had for $450 - $550 . Al tells me you are looking for an 8 ohm version of the 'dra... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? Hi all ! The Vandersteen's are excellent speakers . With that being said , if it were me I would make sure my speaker positioning was absolutely perfect . I have always preferred no sub and a well setup system vs any sub . Hate to rock the boat he... | |
| Did I blow my tube amp? Hi all ! The VTL amp I had said to connect the speakers for biasing. My Cary amp says doesnt matter . Call Manley and ask . | |
| AYON CD-1s CD Problematic Tracking Issue Hi all ! Maybe check and see if there is even a very small piece of dirt or goobage ( just thought that one up )on the laser . If not you might have to send it back to seller or maybe contact Ayon . I just got my Ayon player a a week or so and it ... | |
| "blown speakers" Hi all ! Sounds like a rubbing voice coil .If you are handy remove the dustcap and manually move the cone in and out . You should see and hear where / what the problem is . Could be off-center ( sometimes fixed by pulling the driver and re-install... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hi all ! Whatever you do , dont get a nice 10 - 20 wpc tube integrated to drive those Lore's . ( audio heaven could result ). Hope you enjoy them as much as we all do ! | |
| Cary V12 Hi all ! I live in south Tampa . I keep the room cool by upgrading the a/c and only running 4 tubes instead of 12 . 238 ma sounds right as 40ma is about the max per tube (6 tubes x 40ma = 240) . Not sure about the cad120 but the v12 you can run 2 ... | |
| Anthem CD-1 transport Hi all ! Tried to look it up with no luck . Only info I could find was that is a Sony transport made in china . Maybe open it up and see if you can find the model number , underneath the transport is your best bet . This is a changer , right? | |
| CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area Hi all ! Pull the transport and look at the bottom for a model number . My guess it is made by someone else and is used in many other brands and models . Unless you want to give someone $500 - $ 800 to fix it . I tried to post my email addy last n... | |
| Cary V12 Hi all ! No , not trying to be economical just wanted to see how the amp would sound with only 2 tubes per channel instead of 6 . My experience has always been that the lower powered amp of 2 amps (of the same mfr and amp family) sounds better . A... | |
| CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area Hi all ! I looked up a few lists and I cant find what transport is in that marantz . I just put a new transport in my cary 303/300 , I had to pull out the transport and find the model number under the bottom . It only has two connections the unplu... |
