| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens The Bliss seller entered shipping info in the ad. You have to register to see the shipping quotes. Also there are filters for searching (I use North America/United States or whatever it's called). Perhaps try contacting them to see if they are ... | |
| Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music Horn based speakers. For no fuss/new check out the new Klipsch line (here's a good sound demo of 3 models and I often see B-Stock for sale). DeKay | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens Go to hifishark.com and run a Reynaud search (Bliss Silvers currently listed). DeKay | |
| Questionable Tweak tablejockey: Yes, and I saw 2 pairs of them (different occasions) @ the Goodwill across from Live Cheetah's in East Hollywood (pre-Covid, so maybe in 2018/2019). I would have picked up a pair (think they were around $60) but knew that our cats w... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise What PS Audio phono preamp are you using (GCPH or Stellar)? Also what digital "sources" are you using? Unless I missed it (quite possible) I do not know exactly what your "front ends" are. Anyway, that’s where I would start researching as the r... | |
| Questionable Tweak tablejockey: Rodney Bingenheimer turned me onto the cat fur/dander tweak in the late 70’s, while we were dining at Danny’s Oki Dog (no public Internet then). He said it made his Rogers Sound Lab 3600’s sound like Tympani 1B’s. DeKay | |
| Questionable Tweak I tried an ionization based portable air filter in the 80's and found that it quickly caused a thin buildup of difficult to remove residue on everything in the room (including the walls/ceiling/windows). After going through a few gallons of TSP ... | |
| Questionable Tweak I've found the opposite to be true. The more cat fur/dander floating around here - the better the system sounds. When I vacuum with our Purple Dyson (designed for furry pet households) the SQ drops for a day or two. Don't believe everything you... | |

| Speaker Cable Connector Accepting 2 Pairs of Cable What about these (seems that they might accept 2 spades)? https://www.testequity.com/product/35387-1-2894-2?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIisCPq-DL-QIVzRvUAR3MxwgnEAkYAiABEgKFbPD_BwE DeKay | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens The Richmond are much fuller sounding than the Isis (I preferred the II model, but both were good). DeKay | |
| Speaker Cable Connector Accepting 2 Pairs of Cable Here are stackable banana connecters (for reference). https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Carbonate-Insulated-Thumbscrew/dp/B00O3NTB28/ref=sr_1_4?crid=37G03F97OUDB0&keywords=stackable+banana+plugs&qid=1660611425&sprefix=stackable+b... | |
| Speakers To Replace Castle Edens If you have a Sonus Faber dealer nearby ask them when they will have the new Lumina II in for demo ($1200/pair). I owned Castle Isis (20+ years ago) purchased from their distributer in Niagara Falls and have also listened to Castle Pembroke floor... | |
| How many plays can you get out of a good record? In 2012 I compared a sealed 1971 Howlin Wolf to another original copy that had been played on/off since 1971 (didn't own a TT from 1986-2000). They both sounded the same (good). Found the sealed copy @ my mother's house when she was selling it i... | |
| What is the best sounding GZ34 / 5AR4 rectifier tube you've ever heard? Bliss: This was for my Pilot 232, which in stock configuration already runs the outputs rather hard.. There were suggested mods @ the time (like adding a t/f choke to the PS), but I didn't want to bother as I had moved on to 300B and 2A3 amps. ... |
