| Anyone else grateful that they got hooked on this crazy addiction Absolutely! I have been thrilled ever since I got my RCA 45 rpm changer, followed by a Magnavox suitcase portable with a removable second channel, for stereo speaker., and adding a jukebox amp and speaker to this, through stacked Advents wi... | |
| On-Line Concerts for the Virus Age MUSE Live at Rome Olympic Stadium explains why this is the most popular large venue, main act. Check out Taj Farrant on YouTube. At nine years old, he became a star. At ten, he signed with Gibson guitars and a recording contract with one of ... | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... Kenwood KT-917 | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? ... and yes, check the polarity: White wire goes on the screw for the small plug insert slot. Do the green (or un-sheathed) ground, too. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? If your house has aluminum wiring, (or not?), you should try unscrewing the outlet (with the breaker off), then remove the wires, and tighten them to the screws, not the push in inserts. To remove inserted wires, push a very skinny screwdriver in... | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers My "Tone Controls" consist of adjustable vertical blinds in front of the 12" windows behind my speakers for the high end and mids, plus removing the grills. For the bass, I use a separate, but matched amp and preamp for subs, with a double pole d... | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? Jetter, How refreshing to hear that you are an independent with no prejudices either way as you take up space on an audio forum to denounce liberals. | |
| These seem a bit pricey $$$ Like too many audio companies, these speakers are priced at what the market will bear. I think B&W makes grossly overpriced speakers. That is why I have bought used DM2's, DM14's, 1400's. 12's, 1200's, and 17's, along with DM23's as I w... | |
| Dumb break in question... With my two systems, both with B&W speakers, one powered by Audire and the other by Bryston, I have noticed that the break in is in our auditory system, not the equipment. It takes a while to adjust, because since nothing is perfect, we have ... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver Full range driver? Isn't that an oxymoron? | |
| Vivaldi, played badly, is the worst classical music on earth Can anyone tell us who the composer was? | |
| Cassettes still rock! Your experience makes me want to hear the old system in my Opel GT. TeeHee It did record from FM. | |
| Emotiva not so good Emotiva has a really sweet sounding... company owner who touts it on You Tube. I am not surprised that it is OK for home theater. What isn't? | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity My 7 pieces of 30-40 year old Bryston and Audire amps and preamps are doing great. So are my 40 plus year old turntables and tuners. I did get Bryston to rehab the preamp. It had a badly frayed power cord, and a very slight hum when turning up t... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Tubes can add some sweet sounding harmonics to recording that need them. They can also add these harmonics to recordings that do not need them. It used to be said that James Parker of Audio Research specifically added 2nd order harmonics to swee... |
