Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? I will pass on some advice my long time audio repair fellow has given me, which is to rotate knobs and move switches fairly often so any tarnish is not given a chance to accumulate.So, for example, every time I switch sources on my big tube amp, ... | |
Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? responding to comments about so many switches the signal must pass through, I have to admit most of these sorts of techie comments are over my head, but I feel safe in commenting that I very much agree in principle with a “less is more” philosophy... | |
Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? To lowriderwho asked if my Pioneer was sounding any better:Quite a bit better! I am confident it has benefited greatly from a breaking in period. One of these days I will find an easy way to compare how it sounds with something else if that som... | |

My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? I would definitely give the Pioneer 100 hours or more to break in the news parts, especially the caps.

Can a cable help me out? “No, I think the only thing we can say for sure is these things need to be judged on a case by case basis.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I certainly agree, and I think this is the take home message of this topic. I intend to keep l... | |
My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? “My first proper amp was a Plinius pre/power combination in 1986. I still have it, had it upgraded last year, and will never part with it. It's going to be my work system.(Not including the Luxman tape deck and Dual turntable I got in 1982, and no... | |

If I were to look at the big picture:- is original vintage gear < = or > than modern gear- is refurbished vintage gear < = or > than modern gearIt is obvious that to answer those questions produces very differ... | |
My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Wow, lots of advice to wade through for which I am most appreciative! I think the most sensible thing to do is to have some patience and decide whether to move on or not after a couple hundred hours of break in. Believe it or not, now, only 24 ... | |
Anyone have experience with the new ELAC DDP-2? I’ll chime in as the owner of a DDP-1 with separate PS-5 upgrade power supply. The DDP-1 was initially recommended to me as being of exceptionally good audio quality, especially considering its price point. The fellows who recommended it do ultr... | |

He says it’s ... | |
