| Interesting Article I'm sorry but I dislike playing my vinyl records (with a few exceptions). I have a descent rig (VPI Classic 2 w/Sumiko Blackbird) and almost every record I play has clicks, pops, groove noise, etc.. It just bothers me to distraction -I almost neve... | |
| What Determines The Amount Of "Current" In An Amp? Per Ohm's law, Current = Voltage/Resistance (I=V/R).The less resistance in a circuit the more current (power to do work) for a given amount of voltage.So current is power (and I thought it was knowledge!). | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... MRIBOB: Thanks for the info. I'll look for it. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Yes, this album is great. I saw Andreas Vollenweider at SDSU's outdoor amphitheater back in the nineties (San Diego). Just a perfect evening. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa:Seeing the radical difference the "SE" makes in your Ref-75 amp, aren't you just itching to swap the Ref-3 preamp for a Ref-5 SE?P.S. What brand of Scotch (I like Macallan)? | |
| Amps for Egglestonworks Andra II or Sophia 2 If money is tight, try a BAT VK-300SE integrated.These sell for ridiculously low prices, have 300 watts @ 4ohms, and will spank the Parasound in the musicality dept.You WILL need to upgrade the 6H30 driver tubes to NOS "DR" version as the new ones... | |
| THIEL Audio their demise... Since a "Company" is nothing more than its people, why doesn't the Thiel "old guard" start a new one?The planet is awash in zero interest cash so financing shouldn't be a problem.If they start small, speaker building is not a capital intensive ent... | |
| Speakers sonically similar to Sonus Faber? "Not sure that THIEL is soft sounding ???????????"'Cmon bubba, it's not the '90s anymore. "Thiels are harsh" is an urban myth in this day-and-age.I've been listening to Thiel's (1.6 & 2.4 SE) for 15 years.Thiels are extremely neutral. If the r... | |
| Sold in one day How do you know the seller didn't withdraw the item? | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 To paraphrase The Duke in "Big Jake" (you wonder-tots know who the "Duke" is, don'tcha?):"If you won't respect your elders at least respect your betters". | |
| Dunlavy SC IV A harsh high frequency You may want to think about having your crossovers rebuilt.Your Dunlavy's may be 15 years old. Capacitors generally have a ten year life cycle.So depending on use, they may need replacing.BTW, the SC IVA is on my "Top 5" favorite speakers list! | |
| Amps that switch on when receiving an audio signal The (low-end) Sony subwoofer I use for home theater does this and it's a real bother (relay is very noisy).Frequently clicks-off when no LF present in program.Another function I've seen is auto off-on (Pretty sure my ARC VT-100 had this). A contro... | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Yes "Dollars and Cents" is an arbitrary illusion.The only "Real" currency is "Hours and Minutes".How many hours and minutes (of your one-and-only life) will it take to purchase what you want?Apply this to purchases made 20 years ago and you'll pro... | |
| Any experience with Sonus Faber Electa Amator II? Is that that chunky stand-mounted stud?With the Esotar tweeter and crinkly carbon mid/bass?These are bad-assed and highly sought after -you lucky dude!SF is releasing an updated version which, I believe, is in the $50K neighborhood (only 50 pr. wo... | |
| Anyone seen audiophile lisence plates passin' by? Pretty sure the term "Id" came from Dr. Freud and not "Forbidden Planet".BTW, Forbidden Planet is one of my all-time faves (could Anne Francis BE any hotter?) and is said to have inspired the series "Start Trek". |
