| Buying refurbished gear.... I've used Accessories4less.com and have purchased a refurbed AV Denon receiver. It was cheap and if memory serves, it was packaged in a plain brown box (vs the original manufacturer's packaging). Other than that, it was like 50% off of "new" prici... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Biggest Regret Purchase: Magnepan MGIII speakers. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Some people make this place truly unenjoyable for everyone else. Congratulations, mission accomplished. You hosed another thread and turned it into a complete $hit-show. | |
| Great results with NPS 1260?! @winoguy17 , It is "juice/slime" that comes in a small bottle that you put on your electrical, interconnect cable and speaker connection points that increase conductivity and allows for better sound quality. :) | |
| Why People Like Tekton I own a pair of Tektons. Enzo XL's What they're good at, well, they do well...... I would say their sound is anything but analytical. That being said, this whole $3K vs $30k "giant killer" thing is straight up bullshit. Mine are loud, forward... | |
| Off the Grid Listening-HELP! Class D will be your friend. You're going to need to consult a professional power integrator, I would think. | |
| Are there any audiophile Air BnB's? Not that I’m aware of. I rent out vacation-type places (on the opposite side of the country from where you’re looking), and have thought about putting one (or more) of my older systems in a couple of them. You know, worth a couple of grand each, ... | |
| TEKTON OWNERS I own a pair of Enzo XL's. I upgraded the tweeter to a BE tweeters with as close to the original spec'd speaker as I could find. It was actually a "drop in" replacement. About $300 each, if memory serves. Despite the 2 ten inch woofers, I would ... | |
| Wilson Benesch-Great or just Okay? How and WHY would anyone post an opinion on something they have no experience with? I don't get it. | |
| Wilson Benesch-Great or just Okay? A buddy of mine had a pair of WB stand-mount speakers (Sorry, I don't remember the model....) They were reminiscent (at least to me) of Rogers LS3/5a with more bass authority. (Which makes sense). They definitely had the "British Bump" in their t... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Firing up one for Frank (@OregonPapa). 10 Years Gone. Godspeed, sir. | |
| Finally had my amp repaired ; I should have done it sooner; met a great tech........ Nice! Definitely a good guy to have in your back pocket...... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Very sorry to hear this. I'm pretty new here, but he always seemed to handle himself with class and tried to help people out with his experiences and knowledge. The audio community could certainly use more people like him. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? I like Tektons for what they are (have a pair, actually), but $18k does seem kind of expensive for a plain box. Eric really should work on the aesthetics if he's going to play in that market. JM2W. | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? I’ve had a couple of pieces by Schiit over the last couple of years: Thin, dry, clunky and sound cheap. Not super expensive, but more expensive that they’re worth. Fortunately, they were easy to sell. Magnepan: Inefficient, sorely lacking in the ... |
