| Teac NT-505 on Closeout by Walmart I cannot imagine Walmart has ever sold that, but they do allow other companies to run ads on their site. Look at the bottom of the ad, an it will surely say that another company is selling it. | |
| Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else My suggestion is to upgrade your speakers. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Buddy Guy's Living Proof. Serious blues from the man whom Eric Clapton called the best guitar player in the world, and about whom Jimi Hendrix said that Heaven would be lying at Buddy Guy's feet while he performed. In addition to the great elect... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear dweller2 I was going to suggest Wishbone Ash's Argus for the way-cool and melodic dueling guitars, but you beat me to it, so here goes: Frank Zappa's first CD was a double, Apostrophe and Overnight Sensation. He absolutely had his best musician... | |
| The guru on fuses: Thanks. I had not considered that people are discussing inline speaker fuses. I still wonder if most people are. I did use fuses to protect my stacked Advents from my Phase Linear 400. A dropped tonearm always blew them. | |
| Please Educate Me millercarbon. Get a life. There are no reasons whatsoever for your comment, other than to be a prick. You offer no advice, and make accusations that are totally unfounded. Go back to watching stoner cartoons. | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! Although it sounds as if your alignment is off, I am guessing that you have checked this, vertically, horizontally, and side to side-front to back, whatever that is called. I once had an issue with a binding wire in the anti-skate mechanism. Th... | |
| Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"? Fuses heat up. The resistance changes. It appears that no one has measured the sound of good fuses versus standard ones. Some people here have test equipment. Snake oil rules, whether fuses help or not. | |
| Takedown of pricey servers, streamers OCD HiFi guy Most electronic parts are dirt cheap to manufacture. The rule of thumb is to sell high end audio for 6 times its manufacturing cost. This includes the building, the electricity, the parts and cabinets, etc, the labor and insurance, etc, and a do... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I love that two B&W haters point out that they sound terrible, at least with solid state, specifically Rotel, but good with Pass amps. Yes, it is true B&W's will reproduce the horrible stuff in your electronics that other speakers mask, ... | |
| What are the Best FM tuners? Your opinions are interesting, but there is a site that had many knowledgeable FM guys test and listen to all the ones they could get their hands on, and it was a lot. All of you are prejudiced by what you have owned and heard, but your experienc... | |
| The guru on fuses: theaudiotweak Please explain what you mean by "devices" (Electronics?), and "...place them by signal flow". Next to the signal flow? | |
| The guru on fuses: This is the second time I have mentioned fuses as a potential topic. Thanks everyone for confirming my faith in the suggestibility of the human mind. BTW, The Skeptic has a video about the evolutionary advantages of fooling ourselves. Catch it ... | |
| The guru on fuses: A bit of placebic Devil's Advocate (only): If it takes "100 hours to settle in". does that really mean it took you 100 hours to convince yourself you did not waste your money? | |
| The guru on fuses: audioman58 As the article says, the fuses must be used for music, not tones, to see them heat up and change resistance, etc. A static test shows nothing. Curl had to invent a way to test them properly, as he did for other parameters. . |
