| FANFARE FM TUNERS ???? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM ?? An old flashback review on fmtunerinfo, and not sure if i agree with some of it fwiw https://www.fmtunerinfo.com/FT-1review.pdf | |
| FANFARE FM TUNERS ???? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM ?? Hey will, I had a B&K TS-108 FM tuner, made by Fanfare for B&K, who reportedly was located right next door to BK back then. Was okay for the low cost, rated fair on the fm tuner shootout. As others already suggested, I too much preferred m... | |
| Poor Fritz Maybe start a more positive thread with something other than Poor Fritz, and redirect attention there. A request to a moderator could delete this one. | |
| Poor Fritz "Amps make no difference. I have heard dozens of amps at home and in stores. Cabling makes no difference at all."Disqualified. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) re: ML Motion 40/60 speakersYeah, they get kind of a bad rap when paired with mediocre home theater receivers and nests of cabling and switchers at Magnolia stores. A well used demo set at the store sounds different than a new pair not burned in. ... | |
| Poor Fritz Yes. | |
| Poor Fritz +1Some people look at a speaker from a photo and make assumptions on parts and materials used inside, and the manufacturer total cost for each component used. It’s not always comparable in function, sound, or cost just because it looks the same fr... | |
| Poor Fritz @erik_squires "... who uses comparable drivers". How do we know they are "comparable"? Maybe his drivers are better than standard versions... It’s not entirely impossible Fritz has as special order line made to spec for his particular drivers - on... | |
| RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on? To EVH Diehards, fans of his guitars, the sound, a peek inside his mind and how it worked. Worth watching >>Interview with Eddie Van Halen: Is Rock "n" Roll about Reinvention?<< https://youtu.be/yb26D8bBZB8 | |
| Poor Fritz @b_limo fwiw, I like those particular 7" ScanSpeak mid-woofers quite a bit, used them another custom rebuild recently. Very musical sounding. The new owner of these custom built speakers really likes them a lot. Agree, Fritz could charge more. T... | |
| Poor Fritz The good news is, Fritz gets lots of praise and great respect by owners and reviewers abound. His try/buy offering helps solve a thousand questions. Good for him and it makes for many happy customers. | |
| Does your pet listen to your system? As long as the volume was kept low, one of my former Boston Terriers use to come to the room consistently and lay down on the floor too close to one of my sub-bass units. Kept it extra low to not hurt her sensitive ears. She would go to sleep alm... | |
| Poor Fritz Good Luck with the Madisound kit, they do offer nice kits and can sound very nice. Great starting point, and good things can be learned. Professor John did a nice review a few years back on the C7Be...https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2017/03/05/revi... | |
| Poor Fritz [@novice]"What good reason can you give to buy the fritz when you can buy better for a fraction of the cost?"Got 5 good reasons. Experience matters. Until a novice has - 1. Built them, 2. heard them, 3. compared sound, 4. in a group setting, 5. wi... | |
| Luxman 505uXlI vs Cary SLI-100 +1 three_easy_payments@unison77Do what he said. Or, call Steve or Billy and send it in to Cary. A good local tech might be better if you have one around your area who does "tube amp upgrades", and you might get a better job. 17 years of good us... |
