| Quad ESL Repair in Los Angeles Area? I think Affordable Audio is Mitch Singerman. He is a good option and does a lot of manufacturer warranty work. | |
| tube amp repair First off, I'm in Las Vegas too, email me offline and maybe we can get together sometime.Secondly, there are a couple possible sources in town that may be able to help. Jack Eliano at Electra Print builds tube amps and makes some excellent transfo... | |
| Omnis with deep bass $2K I can't resist for $511. I'm going to take a listen to the Direct Acoustics speakers. | |
| Ac cords or power conditioning first? There are a lot of different approaches to this and dedicated lines are a good first step. However, you may still need to follow that up with some type of line conditioning depending on the environment you're in. Take a look at Alan Maher's produc... | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker My cat understood exactly what I was saying when I lectured her after she jumped up on my speaker. There wasn't a need to remind her on a daily basis either, once was enough. | |
| Cartridge Alignment HELP Tell us where you live. There might be a member nearby who can assist you with the matter. I've traveled a few hours to set up tables and align cartridges and I know others on the site have been gracious with their time as well.Another tool that y... | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker Like jaybo said. Nothing changes here unless you want to go over $2500/pair. | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker I'll assume you know your cat better than I do, but I thought I knew mine pretty well too until she made the 1m vertical leap from the floor to the top of the Spendor without a hitch. It was a fast and delicate exercise on her part. Not a scratch ... | |
| Interfacing Speakers & Stands I've used Herbies fat dots between the speaker and stand. They are very reasonably priced and come with a trial period. | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker Agree with Jaybo. They should be fine. Being front ported helps. There was a period of time my 7/1s were about 18" from the back wall and I would not have hesitated putting my 1/2e's that close if space dictated it. | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker If you really must upgrade the Spendor Classic Series are really nice. I've owned three pairs (3/1, 7/1, and 1/2e). In your price range the 1/2e's come up fairly often. You'll want to budget for the Sound Anchor stands though. Also, check these ou... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? The two that come to mind for me are the K&K Audio kit and the original Hagerman Trumpet. | |
| Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker I caught my cat jumping up on my Spendor 1/2e speakers one day shortly after purchasing them. It was the first and last time she did it. Yes she is still alive (turned 16 today) and still has her claws. We came to a verbal understanding on that oc... | |
| TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago Dgarretson,I've always enjoyed reading your posts here and elsewhere and can appreciate your opinions on digital mods. IIRC you are fond of the transformer output stage that Kyle at RAM has developed with the Audio Consulting Silver Rock transform... | |
| TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago Lithojoe,I see your point. FWIW, the following is just a generalization of what I have come to see here of late on Audiogon. There seems to be a persona created among certain members that they are "the men" of Audiogon. How the persona was created... |
