| phono preamp for Primaluna I've been waiting for PL to come out with something. They are the value leader in tubes right? | |
| Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there? Why not buy some wood, make some boxes (as sturdy as you like), make some ledges at the top to set the speakers in, fill with sand and you're done! Can probably build in a day and save bundles of cash for new music! | |
| Frequency response + or - 1 dB ?? @ptss - The simple answer is $$$. Mr. Dunlavy personally HAND TUNED every one of his speakers to achieve this tight tolerance. This tuning took into account the cross-over components AND the drivers in each cabinet. Doing custom tuning is not prac... | |
| what would you do? Suggestions: 1. Stuff some socks into the ports to reduce bass. 2. As these speakers are bi-wire, remove the wires for the bass speakers and just use the mid-tweet. 3. Bi-amp with a nice integrated (like new Parasound) on the woofers. Doing this l... | |
| Black Ash..... Black has some advantages: 1. They look smaller than white and may appease a doubting mate. 2. They disappear when lights are off -good for home theater. 3. Easy to repair if laminate starts to peel off (that's why pro equipment is always black). ... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! D.H. is a real sweetheart. Ill give you two guesses what "D.H." stands for. | |
| Power amp recommendation Parasound always sounds nice. | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! @stereo5 - Thick as a Brick and Passion Play are mind boggling simply because of the complexity of the music which was played from memory (no sheet music)! Another reviewer said something like "Duane and Gregg Allman, mostly known as ace session m... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! OMG! DO NOT read the Pop music reviews if you have high blood pressure! I don't know who these clowns were but they didn't like rock music! Example: Reviewing the "Yes" Album: "Yes is a no-no"... and many more. | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! Check out those Crown R-2-R tape recorders! | |

| ARC 100.2 or Belles Ref 350A? If I’m not mistaken, the ARC could be 20 years old. I’d go with the Belles for sure (While a solid amp, the ARC was never known as an over-achiever). | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... Lately, I've been seeing more-and-more movies whose content has been "revised". Much more political editing to come I'm sure. At least with physical media, you know that what you have will be there in the future. | |
| What are important features in a listening chair Little known secret: Sitting in a IKEA Poang Chair, wearing an Urban Sombrero (from Seinfeld show) tilted at precisely 45 degrees, almost replicates exactly the acoustics of Carnegie Hall! | |
| The 4k release of Blade Runner--is anyone as disappointed as I am?? Just checked, it’s called "HDR Video" (High Dynamic Range). BTW, when I play my Reference Recordings SACDs (high dynamic range music), they sound muted compared to other discs. I have to crank the volume just to hear the low-level content. Then, w... |
