| Amps on top? @ghasley I designed the stand. I've been working in an industry dealing with vibrations for over 40 years. I know those selling other things have talked down steel and many have read their marketing. I wish them luck. Jerry | |
| Amps on top? I just had a new stereo stand fabricated by an off road truck builder I know. Welded steel. I bounced on top of it to verify it's rigidity. I plan to put my new (larger) amp on top. It is a tube amp and I want it to breathe. Instead of shelve... | |
| Cary SLI-80HS Integrated Most likely capacitors. most likely what is twisting is a dust cover. I see 3 screws that probably fasten everything in place. I wouldn't rotate it. Rotating ta cap could cause the leads to short, although not likely. If it were mine, I'd j... | |
| Center Channel Dialogue Your center is an excellent center speaker and I don’t think chaning speakers will improve vocals. I had an ML center and it was excellent. But the MLs aren’t very sensitive so you need to make sure the levels are adjusted. Have you set up the le... | |
| FYI: Let visitors use your Wi-Fi for additional security I set up a guess network when I installed mine but I never have anyone in my home I don't trust. So I don't use it. | |
| Western Electric 91E I haven't heard this amp and don't know anyone who has. While the tubes it was built around are still at least one of the gold standards, the price range that this amp fits is dominated by hand built, point to point wired, and often custom built ... | |

They have their place in the economy. Now a dealer is a different story. If they have made the decision to move to a new manufacturer, t... | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? @hilde45 Got it. You're woker than the rest of us. and even if we have had experience with women who didn't appreciate music, we can't discuss that, wouldn't we woke enough. thanks for the guidance. Jerry | |
| Ripping CD's I was thinking 20 years. Many people have found that they ripped their CDs to a lower resolution format and now realize their library is useless. I'm not sure if anti pirating software prevents copying the CDA files or not. I think what you wan... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps Decware ZMA is probably about the best you'll find in "high power". Jerry | |
| Crossover - hard to find for biamping assuming your speakers are set up for biamping, the internal crossovers will be all you need. as stated above, you'll need volume balancing but if the amp you need to adjust is an integraded, it has volume control. if not, you'll need a passive ... | |
| Left Channel Out Primaluna Dialogue Premium So the problem was wires? Cold solder joint? Just curious. | |
| Looking for advice, recommendations I would consider upgrading my speakers instead to something that will work with 4 watts. then next time you upgrade your amp, to to an SET. You may like the way you are going. But thought I'd throw out another idea. Jerry |
