| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Because of the expense of more power amps, and external crossover difficulties, very few audiophiles bi-amp. | |
| Easy free tweak -- dealing with RFI/EMI -- try it and see? EMI and RFI is almost all, "through the air" interference, and not significant in power lines.Unless you live near a hospital, industrial park, or have motors turning off and on, on your power line. Motors that "freewheel" will generate noise back... | |
| CD players = dead? They are not dead because people have large CD collections from the last 30 years. And some prefer to play single CD/SACDs.It takes time to copy a large number of CDs to a server, but is more convenient playback.Buying online digital music is more... | |
| Tape-in and Tape-out ports I use the tape out connections on my preamp to feed a Stax Driver amp for my Stax electrostatic headphones.It is a "must have" in a preamp for me! | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Poor Bass and thin sound!Move up to the Magnepan 3 series! | |
| DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND At least you admit you are stupid! | |
| Pass Labs They have to make money to stay in business. The extreme high end keeps them afloat.The extreme high end market is 90% outside the USA.Hopefully they will still service their older products in the future.Look at ARC...... their cheapest product is... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? The reviews of the original UNIverse that cost $4995, said the exact same thing about the cartridge sound quality. It is perfect!Where is the $10,000 difference with the Premium UNIverse? In the pockets of ZYX, and Sora Sound! | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? $15,000 for a cartridge.No matter what anyone says about the quality, that is absurd!I also never believe cartridge reviews as accurate, due to the fact very few know how to "fine tune" cartridge/arm setups. Too much sonic variability! | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Where are the user reviews of the premium series in the USA?It has been out since 2012.I do not know about the Asia market. I live in the USA.The standard (old) ZYX Universe is long in the tooth, although was exclusive in USA. Why that was the cas... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? The premium series has been out since 2012, and there is also no user reviews also.My guess is little change from the boron cantilever, or they no longer sell many. ZYX has lost customers over the last several years. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This thread has been off topic forever! | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? OK jbhiller Point taken.Chill out! It was a joke.The Russians bought many original names, and they do not have the "tone" of true NOS.The results of quality sound varies "all over the map" with the amp or preamp design.What type of "tone" do you w... | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? If the sun went into super nova, and wiped out all life on earth, what music would you listen to?Similar STUPID question! | |
| My Audio Research experience In the USA if you send in an amp or preamp to ARC they replace all tubes with ARC tubes before they fix the amp. They send back the non ARC tubes.They return all products back to factory issued condition.They do not trust or warranty none ARC tubes. |
