| I think it’s completely overwhelming... Remember "common sense?" That is being able to put the MOST important things first, then look for more details, if necessary.The LARGEST variable in ANY system is going to be the main USER of the system. His/Her own ability to HEAR, understand, ju... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? No tone controls? Gee... someone forgot to tell ya about them, huh? | |

| What to do with broken McIntosh Pre-Amp Everyone knows "someone special" to fix your McIntosh MX 114. So? I do, too. He has a video series which runs to the hundreds of videos... and can fix ANYTHING. His name is Paul Carlson, of Mr. Carlson's Lab on YouTube. He will do WHATEVER needs t... | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? Suppose I tell you that a resurrected and recapped, 1948 Brook10-C3 will run class G (a lot closer to class A) and drive a nice 8 ohm speaker. Does that mean I would suggest that it is the answer to your problem? At a whopping 30 watts running pus... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? I donated my record collection (started at 1200 disks) to my older daughter, along with a good sound system. NOT because she couldn't afford a ROON system or such, but because I had a computerized list of what I truly admired about each and passed... | |
| Who are the Kings of Audiogon? Regardless, remember the quote from Samuel Clemens, "Common sense is the most uncommon sense of all."And, viridian, I'm going, I'm going! | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Does anyone ever listen to music anymore, or are you thinking about the hardware you use to recreate the musical moment too much? Other than junk thrown together with no knowledge at all, most good systems do a great job of retaining the UNKNOWN m... | |
| How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb? If you have to ask the question, you are NOT a real audiophile! Besides, I’m still admiring the velvet gloves and high heels of the wife of noble1001! | |
| After all, you're listening to the power supply. Of course you're right. An amplifier is nothing but a modulated power supply. de KQ2E | |
| Audio stuff that is impossible to install right (or stay installed right) "Sound Labs 845 tube monos" with bias swings sounds like a coupling cap failure to me... a cap turns into a resistor at various times with predictable results. Using good poly caps of high voltage and low ESR ratings helps a lot. Don't forget to a... | |
| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? Back in the day, my father's Brook 10-C3 (Class A to a pair of 2A3 tubes) drove our RCA LC-1A, 15" coaxial speaker to room filling volume. No one asked if they needed another loudspeaker or amp... you were too busy enjoying the MUSIC. I think you ... | |
| The Science of Cables Since I have taught Experimental Psychology, Statistics, and have worked in electronic design... I can say with certainty that the reason there are so few articles on cables is... that MOST articles are so poorly researched that the questions they... | |
| How do I get a speaker with the bass slam of my el cheapo ear buds...? One comment is, if you live in a high cubic volume rectangular room with the correct dimensions for the "slam frequency range" you want, all you need is great speakers driven with enough power. BUT... most of us don't... so just buy some $1,000 ea... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. I'm afraid most of you didn't get the memo... it's ALL about the music.Equipment can be forgotten in a burst of new music in a millisecond.Sorry. |
