| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? I try to unplug it all now. I have lived in my house now 36 years and used to work outside the home. Ground surges from lightning are a real issue here in the mountains of Colorado. Twice I have had equipment fried by lightning. First, one channel... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? guscreek Yes, the hearing aids have helped with most of my issues, but as far as tinnitus goes, it will always be there. The hearing aids help to receive a better signal that is then transmitted to the brain, creating an override. When I'm in tota... | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase Build a close customer/salesperson relationship and they won't care how often you go back. I had this in my dealer decades ago (back when customer service wasn't an exception). and was allowed to listen to systems & components costing two to f... | |
| Moving to separates first off find a high end dealer that can "loan" you a few amp's to try in your system. I didn't see where you mentioned your budget, nor what you wish to improve. Here on Audiogon, The Music Room, etc. you can find a variety of used power amplifi... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? If you suffer from tinnitus, do yourself a favor and see an Audiologist. I have suffered from it for over a decade. Two years ago I had my ears checked and was diagnosed with over 40% hearing loss. Naturally this was in the higher frequency spectr... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps I like what DeKay said. You obviously have efficient speakers. Years ago I fell in love with the sound of Audio Research tube amps in combo with Martin-Logan ReQuest ES Hybrid speakers (larger than my Sequel II's) but could never swing the bucks f... | |
| My All Time Christmas Song "Carol of the Bells", especially the jazz combo version by David Benoit. Also "Please Come Home for Christmas" by Charles Brown. I have his original vinyl stereo LP. It was famously redone by Eagles, but lost it's bluesy vibe. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Very melodic jazz/blues artist that I love is Gene Harris. He was a fantastic pianist with his own style and his Quartet recordings often had Ray Brown on bass and Jeff Hamilton on drums. He also recorded several Big Band albums in the style of Co... | |
| Amplifier recommendation a step up from the Acurus line is Aragon. Both were made by Mondial back in their original days.I had a wonderful Aragon 4004 (with 24K Pre-amp that I still own). I bought it new for ~$1,800 in early 1990's. Lot's of dual power supplies and bass s... | |
| Cartridge upgrade I've had the Virtuoso wood on a Clearaudio Solution table, and really was left wondering what the big deal was. It never impressed me over $200 cartridges. I recently bought a Hana moving coil but haven't taken the time to switch over (I have to ... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes A good set of tube amps will be magic with M-Ls. I have an older pair of Sequel II's which do have lower impedance than the more current versions of their ES Hybrids. These speakers and some ReQuests I heard (back in the day that the ReQuests were... | |

| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? This is a stock photo, but I own this Clearaudio Solution Turntable ca. 2001. The three foot supports could each have a tonearm mount attached with different arms. |
