| two channel speaker/equipment consultant @mikeyb9115, anyone who tells you that anything besides your source components and media are less than the most essential part in your audio systems is an ignorant fool. Everything relies on the source and that is irrefutable otherwise that person... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier @facten, I must say that is the most idiotic, defeatist bs response and false! If the product crossed state lines it is an FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation case. State and local authorities have no jurisdiction in other states. Your fraud expe... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier Here’s my advice. Remove ALL reference to the make model and eBay listing. You should really consider removing this post entirely. If the seller gets wind of it poof. If it left your state, you should have contacted the FBI. This is a major grand ... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? You are in a small cluttered box. You cannot produce sound waves that can expand much and therefore all that owned is unfulfilled and distorted. You actually degrade your sound as you get lower in a room like yours, so if you’re going with a sub ... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? I'm sorry, but what a stupid post! If you can't afford the product new and it's not available used, move on! Your assumptions demonstrate you don't belong looking for what you say you are. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs Tattoo, it’s your money. And your slightly odd taste in music. Paying huge premiums on reissues you haven’t researched…to each his own. I own a large number of Mofi discs, includes number of SACD’s. Maybe one I purchased used because it was out of... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs There is a superiority of gold, but...the issue isn't that it's a gold disc, it's the mastering or remastering of the album. There are some great ones and some ok ones. It also depends on the year of the mastering. Why would you or any else enjoy ... | |
| Preamp with two volume controls? Try a room correction system--toss your analog Pre~ Lyngdorf's discontinued DPA-1 or TDAI 2170 or their current TDAI-3400 are your solution. Use whatever amps your want--the 2170 and 3400 offer internal 170 and 200wpc amps. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement I guess you've never listened through TacT or Lyngdorf Millenium II or IV amplifiers! There are alternatives in digital amps. All this focus on "Class D" is stupid. TacT goes back to about 2000 with their Millenium II which was a 24/96 and 2003 o... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Wisdom Audio M75's 750 pounds and line stage over 7' tall. Also, Talon Khorus X's 400 total, their Roc2002 sub 150. | |
| Lloyd Walker has passed away. Lloyd was ever the character! I'll have to find a place for a set of Valid Points now. I hadn't spoken with him in about 20 years after closing my audio business where I sold his product. As his obituary said, he was a bit rough around the edges b... | |
| High Eng Audio Auctions on Ebay does not honor their deals Personally, I'd contact him by phone and work it out. And take it off eBay, but pay with PayPal or your credit card where you have protection from damage, etc. They should be fully insured, shipped on a well-strapped palate. Together I'm sure you ... | |
| Wall mounting on studs You should be blocking not adding studs. By code (building date will vary by state and/or municipality--your unrenovated 1860 Manhattan Brownstone will not suddenly have to be brought up to code), studs should be 16" apart inside to inside. Add a ... | |
| Streaming for beginner GRM,Curious as to why you are using a CAT 7 cable? Do you have a GB Ethernet Network switch in your home? Besides having a restrictive bend radius which may or may not apply, CAT 7 cabling will not enhance your datastream speed. No harm, but no be... | |
| Warm up time for amps This is absolutely normal. You would think of divesting in an amp because you are using it wrong and are uneducated on the subject of mechanical settling? Solid State should ALWAYS be left ON, unless you are traveling for an extended period of ti... |
