| Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks On really old vintage gear, close spacing is not uncommon...quality cables then were made by Switchcraft and speaker wire was 16 ga. zip. Think classic pieces like Mac MC 240s or Dyna Stereo 70, with barrier terminals and the like. Solutions abo... | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? I always thought that stereo was an invention of Alan Blumlein, who created recordings with crossed microphone pairs to simulate our anatomical auditory apparatus. Playback was intended to be by 2 speakers with an equilateral angular relationship... | |

| Solid state to tube I bought one of these a few years ago and it’s been a pleasure to use. Not a rebuild, but a brand new replica using the Latino VTA driver board. Built by Chris Keller, a very fine gent, in NC. On the other popular resale platform… FOR SALE: Dynac... | |
| Large Advents (1974) woofer pops with deep bass. The LA of 1974 would have a Masonite ring with a 9” paper cone in a 12” basket, designed that way specifically to prevent bottoming. So either the inverted foam surround is perforated or there is another air leak somewhere…or you are overdriving ... | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite #2 Solti on London is gripping. Agree on the Elly Ameling Haitink 4th and Horenstein 3rd. But honestly Mahler is better on digital due to the huge dynamic range and the unavoidability of ticks and pops distracting during the pianissimos. You must... | |

| To pricey Listen to a pair of Focal Kanta 3s if you can…warmer balance, plenty of slam, and less $$$. | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? But Concertos were special. Don’t let them go until you’re sure you really upgraded! | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? Good choice. Solid all rounder for $4K. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? And all the time I thought the purpose of a component was to amplify or pre-amplify without adding or subtracting anything! What was I thinking? | |
| A Question About Time Alignment First, if you intend to "pick up" a pair of any Wilson speakers....bring a crane! Second, while the provability of "time alignment" claims for speakers has been argued since the launch of Dahlquist DQ10s, the fallacy in your reasoning is this...t... | |
| Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo? McIntosh marketed a line of aftermarket car audio 20 years ago. Mostly amps…mono, stereo, and multichannel with built In configurable crossovers. They were very clean but didn’t deliver the grunt of Rockford or Xtant at that time. So they have e... | |
| Surge protection I am past the hearing acuity phase of my life so I am not expressing an opinion on SQ. But in my years of selling audio in a coastal area prone to thunderstorms I have seen plenty of so-called surge suppressors fail to protect from surges. Popula... | |
