| Underspent on speakers relative to overall system? My rule of thumb: Spend equally on each major component. Example: A=$5000. Amp=A, Pre=A, Integrated=A(1.5), Speakers=A(2), Source=A, Cables+Room Treatment=A, etc. | |
| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Recently heard about European Audio Team (E.A.T.). Up-and-comers making turntables AND Audio Tubes! Can't have enough competition in that arena... | |
| What are Colorado folks listening to this year? There's plenty of green to be made in the grass industry. Say you are going to RMAF and appreciate things herbal. Wouldn't it be nice to rent a "Listening Studio" by the hour stocked with SOTA gear? Instead of a hotel room snack bar, there would b... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. Not trying to make this my "cause" but if you bought the speakers new, from an authorized dealer who can certify that you never had problems before (with the speakers) you have a strong case. BTW, when you say "speaker power supply" what part are ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for mc452 and C2600 This past year I've acquired a C22 reissue and some Klipsch La Scalla IIs. I use the C22 as a phono pre and as a buffer between a Rega DAC and my BAT VK300SE integrated. Got to say the Klipsch are amazing! These are my first horns in 40+ years and... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. If that's true, and PL has admitted it's their fault, they should pay to fix your speakers (IMO). | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. So your speakers sounded fine until, poof, they just burned out? | |
| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters The best "real world" system I've heard contained a Theta "pre/pro" DAC (far from mega-bucks price). I believe it was designed by Mike Moffat who is now at Schiit Audio. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. I can't believe that you wouldn't hear gross distortion WAY before your speakers "power supply" would burn out. Sounds fishy... | |
| The Return to Audio Begins...BAT VK-3000SE Welcome home! My BAT VK300se has been my workhorse for over 12 years (I've had two). I'd recommend this honey for anyone getting into "this life". It just sounds "right", has lots of power and is fully balanced. The only issue is this unit has bee... | |
| Old Virgin or New Virgin "Virgin" probably means no trim or punch-outs (recycled) were used for the pressing. The best vinyl, IMHO, was the "Clarity" pressings from Classic Records. Clarity pressings didn't even add the "black stuff" but were clear vinyl. Why they stopped... | |
| Whoa, just ran across Mr. Mark Whitfield and his band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKb9Ms68ME&t=354sMore my taste... | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers What music was playing when the tweeter blew? Analog? Digital? I had an experience with an Ace of Base CD. At one point in the "All That She Wants" song, there is an "amplitude spike" which is so bad it sounds exactly like someone slamming a slidi... | |
| Thief Alert I just sold a PrimaLuna integrated amp, without paypal, and had a flawless transaction. I've been an Audiogon member since 2001 and have perfect feedback. I choose not to use paypal due to their unreasonable bias for the buyer (or so I've heard). ... | |
| Suggestions for a narrow (half-width) CD player? The Rega Apollo-R CD player is 8.66 inches wide. |
