| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? Cheap ---- with nice light bulbs won’t be a diamond when dressed up, just better looking. But a quality amp and these exotic tubes you are getting raped on...no, it is not common. It’s frickin stupid! Plus what happens when you toast one? You’ll n... | |
| Cary CAD-120S MkII vs VAC Signature 200 iQ Having owned a VAC, the wattage will not mean a thing. Solid State wattage requirements mean nothing when compared with tubes and speaker wattage requirements are always stated in terms of solid state. And triode is not required for vocals and jaz... | |
| Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system Labor should absolutely be non-negotiable! You have only yourself to blame for a mess and no warranty support on product if something goes wrong and you have someone else do the installation.

| Digital Room Correction For Speakers Lyngdorfperiod. Rest of this stuff is Mickey Mouse. There are a couple much more expensive products out there too. | |

| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Try getting a quality source by at least having ModWright turn your bright, somewhat clinical Oppo into a real quality source component and while you’re at it, Dutch the Rotel for something better too. When you’ve done those things, if you’re not ... | |
| Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers) Don't you mean digital amplifiers? Lyngdorf makes the best digital amps and integrateds and you get the enormous benefit of room correction. Stop thinking of digital as Class D. There is more than one way to do digital amplification and the ones ... | |

| I give up on new vinyl The zep’s are not “audiophile “. Classic released some 10 years ago or so. They are good too. But there is nothing wrong with the nether Page remasters whatsoever! I have the first 6 Deluxe sets through Physical Graffiti as well as all the CDs and... | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out Lyngdorf! | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong LPS HAVE NEVER BEEN RETURNABLE AS A RULE. If the master is problematic so will be the end product. Find something else to worry about besides a single vinyl platter. Best of luck. | |

If you don't like the cable, the sell it on Audiogon, eBay or US Audio Mart. Try buying your equipment and cables/accessories from a reputable local dealer with a sh... | |
| Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business Glad you aren’t my local customer who buys elsewhere and uses my equipment to quell his innate distrust of another supplier! And why you don’t do business with this EDWARDS fellow off eBay so he can picket that extra 15% is beyond me or maybe that... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Mankind is unlikely to be here 200 years from now no less 2000. A soundwave doesn’t morph into something different despite strange ideas that we’ll suddenly have wireless 1000g transmission in 30 years. You need a speaker and for no loss it will s... |
