| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I certainly wouldn't challenge you guys--you have far more experience than I ever will. I have no doubt those little tabs heat up quickly and afford a good solder joint. My OCD kicks in however when solder is the primary conductor in this type o... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Going to give this a go. Looking at the KLE plugs, that little spade connector tab looks like the absolute worst design I have seen. How do you get a secure mechanical connection with that! You are relying on a bridge of solder as a connector. ... | |
| Basement listing room I had a small basement room around 13x15 with a drop ceiling. I sounded great! So you can do it.I would place polyethylene plastic against the concrete walls and use standard 2x4 studs. Fiberglass insulation. Then another vapor barrier. Then yo... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system Agree that with that tight of a budget used is the way to go for everything. If you are patient, you can pick up gear in new condition for sometimes almost half off. A nice integrated like a Marantz or NAD and a pair of smaller monitors. As an ... | |
| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K @giantsalami Small world. You bought my REL subs to pair with your DI monitors. Guess what speaker I just picked up for my second system--The KC II Pro's! Opted for paper version. I think the OP would like these. But in my room I absolutely n... | |
| Upgrade Question If you love the sound of the MF, don't think that newer is always better. With that said, I have been very happy with the sound of multiple Marantz spinners I have owned, most currently the Ruby. The sound is expansive, rich, and smooth while no... | |
| Passing of an Audiogon Member David, a nice post. I remember your post after visiting Ezra. A good memory. Let this be a valuable reminder to focus on what is important in our lives. Especially in a time when COVID, politics, and so many strong willed opinions consume our d... | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Touche. Have not read his other threads. Pious I am not. Just thought this was an interesting post. Forgive me. So what is your opinion on fuses uberwaltz? | |
| Focal Headphone Repairs? Unlike the OP, sounds like you have a good dealer. Again, he ought to dump his. | |
| Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought. Wow. Not feelin the love on this thread. Now I have no opinion on this at all. Interesting perhaps. I only hope that all the above members are as equally critical of the high end fuse club. Again not sayin one is right or wrong. Just want to... | |
| Focal Headphone Repairs? Wow. Great reason to cross Focal off your list. Too bad your dealer did not tell you that ahead of time. Almost sounds like a no win. Blow the bucks to fix them just to have them break again. Fix and sell them--I’d have a hard time doing that with... | |
| New feet for my Marantz If you want generic black rubber feet of all sizes, just go on Amazon | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. Almost. Looks more like a snake that swallowed a stealth sports car. Maybe that accounts for 60K of production cost! | |
| CHANDOS label... I would agree that I have some very nice recordings on that label. Wish I could tell you specifically what accounts for this. I can say I have some labels that have a higher percentage of what I consider excellent recordings when it comes to SQ.... | |
| Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend I think the rack looks GREAT. Nice job matching the finish to your speakers. A really clean and solid set up. If I ever have the need for a new rack I could go for this. I might go for a bit of a 45 degree bevel with the router on the shelves.... |
