| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... Audire. I have never heard any system better than Julius monoblock towers, Diffet 5 pre-amp, and speakers of his own design. I still use a Diffet 3, a POCO head amp, and a pair of Forte's.to push my B&W's and subs. | |
| “Marks on the underside” You shoud have mentioned it, and used photos. But beware, he may have swapped drivers on you. | |
| What is the name of the tool? db, as in decibel, meter | |

| Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2 Ohm meter on tweeters DOH! | |
| Curl or Pass I had a Mark Levinson JC 1 or 2, whgichever was battery powered. I kept my Audire, but the other was equally as good. I don't think anyone should be anal enough to worry about either designer. They are both excellent, but Probably Nelson. He h... | |
| Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work? Yes! That i show adjustable sub crossovers should work, except for the volume problem. | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Along with my various B&W's and other speakers, I had electrostatics for 25 years. If you don't mind staying in one place, they are hard to equal on acoustic music, especially on violin. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Before anyone states that they absolutely know that CD is better, listen some the old Sheffield Direct to Disc LP's with a really good cartridge and pre-amp. The Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Jazz Band D to D is also excellent. Before anyone states t... | |
| Speaker upgrade I have speakers that I like a lot. I would never consider replacing them with anything I have not heard, unless it is an upgrade of the same brand. Many of the people here have things I do not care for, and I am certain the feeling should be mut... | |
| Are there speakers with cloth/soft enclosures instead of wood? Any fully open back speaker could qualify. There are a lot: Electrostatics, Maggies, Time Windows... yes they have wood frames, other wise they would droop and sag. | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. RE_ 16 ohms: It makes sense that only putting out half the power (vs 8 ohms) with the same power supply and current could relax an amp at times, but I suspect otherwise. | |
| Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS bigkidz "So now it's Trump's fault". At the risk of inciting a riot or continuing this conversation, his attempts to dismantle the postal system to deter minority voting, and his handling of COVID that is still keeping us home certainly does not... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? If I advertise something and it is sold, why would I respond to offers that might number in the dozens, or worse? I do, but why complain if someone does not. Of course, the ad should be removed before this happens. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? INMH; The destruction of the preamp sound is far worse from the transformer of an amp, than is the miniscule interference from the preamp. A good amp can sound no better than its preamp, but a bigd amp can mask a preamp's deficiencies with enou... |
