| Uber expensive repair at United Radio I am more with the OP here than the folks who are saying he is out of line. There are so many instances of companies ripping off folks, simply because they can...that it is almost the norm these days...BUT that in no way excuses the behavior, IMHO... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo I listened to the awesome Budgie song..'Parents' last night. Tony Bourge's playing is truly inspirational... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX Having heard both speakers, IMO the Wilsons are far more musical sounding than the Magico's. The new Sabrina X's are a major upgrade over the old Sabrina's...you sure you heard the new version and not the old version, which does sound more like wh... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @syndication Your post seems to imply that you are in favor of ripping people off...so long as they can afford it. Interesting perspective. | |
| recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers Atmasphere makes some great points! There are a ton of speakers on the market today that are an absolute bear to drive..even with a ss amp! For example, the recent review by Jason Victor Serinus of the Jadis JA200Mk2 amps exemplifies what atmasphe... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio The OP may or may not have a point about his experience with United, BUT I do believe that there are now numerous examples of the ’repair’ shop trying to gouge the customer. Just yesterday I called up my car dealer for a simple oil and filter chan... | |
| recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers OP, what preamp are you using? This would would have a fairly important impact on which of the amps you may want to go for. I use the Jadis JA30Mk2's with a CAT and find that to be a wonderful combo. Depending on room size, you have some great opt... | |
| REL T5 vs REL T7 subwoofers The OP asked if for the price of one T7 is worth two T5’s...and I don’t there is any way one can state that two subs are inferior to one...particularly in the case of the T5 vs the T7 comparison. | |
| REL T5 vs REL T7 subwoofers OP, the REL T5 and its brother..the T5i are IMO the sweet spot in the T series line. Like you noted, the T7 and then the T9 are considerably more pricey. While REL have again updated their T series subs, I think the 5 series is still the sweet spo... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Robin Trower has so many great solo's, including 'I can't wait much longer'.Mark Knopfler...also a lot of awesome solo's, including "you and your friend'. | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread Most guitar players I know, including myself, utilize tube amps for the simple reason that we want a tube amps distortion capabilities, along with the clean channel. Not because we believe the tube amps to be more reliable. YMMV. | |
| Your tube preamp and ss amp thread @wolf_garcia Guitar players dont really care how much distortion the tube gives off...in fact the more the better. Not a good analogy with home audio, IMHO. | |
| Repair tech for Linn LP 12? OP, Dan at Blackbird is still in business, although I think his web page has basically shut down. You will need to leave him a message if he doesn't answer. | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Last night I swapped back in my Rowland model 8T with Jeff's mods and I was once again reminded why this amp is such a great match up to my new CAT preamp. The amp is just so incredibly well built and gives one such a feeling of quality that I dou... | |
| Keeping backup equipment? If you run tube gear, as i do, it is quite nice to have a backup ss amp around for a couple of reasons, 1) The ss sound is a different 'flavor' to the tube sound and 2) if the tube amp needs service, the ss amp is there. |
