EL34 Lovers?
JJ Kt-77's are killer tubes that can be swapped in place of any EL-34. They are basically a "Super El-34" IMHO as they have a better electron flow construction than any EL-34 (because they were designed to do many things better electrically than 3... 
Is it the Windex?
HILLARIOUS! I am still laughing at Mechans response. 
Soundsmith Strain Gage Cartridge system
IMHO this product should be relabeled the "Speed Demon Cartridge System". After spending considerable time listening to the Strain Gage in two rooms at RMAF, it was quite apparent (to me and some others) that the Strain Gage may just establish a n... 
Modified DCM TFE200's......World Reference Now
Seriously, is this thread a joke? The Bose 901 speaker drivers have a manufacturing cost of less than 10 dollars per driver (in quantaties of 1000 mind you). As far as I know, that makes them one of the least expensive drivers in any speaker on th... 
Intuitive Summits & R.S. Audio Sasons?
As a owner of the Sasons myself, I cannot speak highly enough about them. In my experience they are the most transparent 2 way speaker I've heard under the $25k mark. They have bass that just doesn't seem possible for a speaker of their size sound... 
fritz loudspeakers
If I recall correctly, throughout the 80's this speaker company was a serious alternative to some of the "big name" audiophile speakers. I personnaly think it is great to still see Fritz still doing business! He probably knows more than he is lett... 
Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ???
Smilin, thanks for the clarification. I absolutely agree with you that any speaker priced so reasonably that plays with true full range capability is an excellent deal. My inquiries revolve more around Blue Ridge's website-advertisement, which set... 
Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ???
Jaybo, perhaps I need to clarify my inquiry about Blue Ridge's statement that boldly states the Allisons are "Widely considered to be one of the finest, if not the finest sounding loudspeakers ever produced". Really? I've never heard anyone here o... 
Blue Ridge Sound Engineering Speakers ???
I congratulate this company for trying to bring a full range speaker to market for such a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I completely disagree with Blue Ridge's assessment where they state that their reference Allison IC-20 speakers are "Widely ... 
Longer Power Cords Sound better?
Here's some food for thought about longer lengths - It may just be true that a longer power cord could actually "sound better" BUT - this will vary from cord manufacturer to cord manufacturer. Why? Because many of the power cords are actually acti... 
Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance?
I've seen that some others have recommended Reality and I have to wholeheartadly agree with them. Based on my experience I know of no cable under $1000 that will even touch this cable, it is that good.---Perhaps Gregg Straley needs to raise the pr... 
Ridge Street Audio Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker
These speakers ARE the REAL DEAL in my humble opinion. I was very fortunate to purchase the very first pair of Sasons ever offered to the audiophile public. I had them in house and was auditioning them for a friend with no intention of purchasing ... 
SPICA revival and modification
GR Research recently did an update to both the crossover and tweeter of a pair of TC-50s (at the owner's request). I urged Danny (of GR) to offer the modifications to the general public and am now glad to say he is offering them at a very reasonab... 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
My buddy's wife thinks he paid $150 for his entire $9,000 Teres based turntable rig! I am waiting for that day that either her or their kids to accidentily bump into it, break the stylus, tonearm or knock the turntable off it's platform (it's almo... 
Early 80's - late 70's best audio products
Spica baby! John was so far ahead of his time that I really wish he was still designing speakers today (I'll bet he'd still take the crown in some sort of idea no one has thought of if he were to re-enter the market even today). Hello John! Where ...
