| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? I received my Benz cartridge from Vincent today. You get incredible transit time for that $40! We finalized the deal Thursday evening around 9pm cst, which was 10am his time. He shipped it and I received it at 11am Monday! It was in the origin... | |
| Audio Research GS150 vs REF150 SE @smoffatt What did you end up with?My first tube gear purchase was a pair of CL120s here about 3 years ago. I had Parasound HCA 2200ii X 1 and X 2(bridged mono), Parasound HCA 3500 and a B&K 200.2. Can you believe that my system's dynamics a... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. @wharfy You got your answer here regarding repairs. You can buy a replacement for the cost of the board so a repair from your perspective is not practical. Someone that works on audio gear may be able to beat the odds and restore the piece to a ... | |
| Amp for Platinum Audio Trio's Hello there...just curious what you found worked well with your Platinums. I have been listening to the Quattros for about 15 years. I went through a few solid state amp setups:B&K 200.2 S2Parasound HCA 2200iiParasound HCA 2200ii X 2 running... | |
| Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps @riaa.......my only source is their website. I thought models still listed in their product sections meant they are current models in production? | |
| Dedicated Power Line Project correction from my comment above...just went to Lowe's and checked out the Romex. 10ga is a single solid conductor per wire, but the 8, 6 & 4 were stranded except for the ground. | |
| Dedicated Power Line Project I too will soon be upgrading my circuits. I have done a lot of electrical work in my two homes over the years and wanted to say first of all that 14ga wire is not typically used for outlets. That should only be used for lighting circuits. I know c... | |
| Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps Well, you didn't mention what you paid and that isn't necessary, but you did get a tube upgrade. Those 150s are about a $600 upgrade over 120s and even more $ over the 6550s. You definitely got an 'upgraded' amp, but the use of 'SE' was wrong. ... | |
| Newb Tube question I moved from NAD PP2 to the ProJect Tube Box DS. I would imagine the sound is similar to your model. That move was dramatic in my system. I have Audio Research amps and preamp so later upgraded to the PH5 which was another wonderful leap in sou... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Many years ago I had a very modest system with Carver amplification and Platinum Audio's $800 entry floor standing speakers. I bought them from my local Platinum dealer who often let me take used equipment home on a Saturday afternoon to have a w... | |
| Amp Speaker Pairing FWIW -- I have a friend that moved from the Sophia 1 to the Yvette and he said there was minimal improvement. It is understandable as it is simply and upgrade on the same overall size and design. As suggested, maybe the Sasha line would be a bet... | |

| Looking at Focal Good luck and have fun in your search. I too shop exclusively in the used market. Speakers obviously present a greater challenge to buying and reselling, but can still be handled with some effort. Be sure and watch each speaker's respective pre... | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity @mofimadness Did you ever get a chance to go back and listen to Love Over Gold. I got my replacement copy and it has the exact same two issues. @thecommunityDoes anyone else have this MoFi Gain 2 45rpm release of Love Over Gold that can check th... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 I haven't ever been in front of a Magnepan speaker and the closest dealer is several hours from me. I am a big Audio Research fan and the fact that Warren had the 20.7s and has since upgraded to the 30.7s makes me feel that is where I should be. ... |
