| Anyone near Bergen County NJ have a pair of Tekton speakers I could listen to? when you find some, I'd love to tag along, hear them, meet you ... I'm in the Netherwood Heights (Sleepy Hollow) section of Plainfield, NJ retired, always ready for a reason to wear a mask! Elliott | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? jl35 I’ve got two 500cs, one all cleaned up to sell, very nice shape, dead quiet. Other a hard looking thing I took in as part of a trade. I also had an 800c, but traded that to Bill for his Mitsubishi Vertical Turntable LT-5V in my office whi... | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? fiesta75 you were right, these were matched, woofers had been renewed (cone and foam) (not older cloth type). mids and tweeters type matched, but one tweeter was dead. I replaced the caps as you advised, ended up changing to new level contro... | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? cd318 when I first viewed your earlier post, I thought that image was of a larger model AR, I thought the AR-2ax were smaller, until I took them out of the box, definitely larger than I remembered. Wonderful that they fit in/on a bookshelf, only... | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? there's a lot more going on, over-sampling, over-clocking, anti-jitter, OEM proprietary tricks, multiple dacs, multiple lasers (one for cd, another for sacd) possible conversion from DSD to PCM, it's a salad, many ingredients, I had to work hard ... | |
| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? don't, they have rca out to any input. some have xlr out. | |
| Just a share fun, thanks, I'm sending the links to friends who will enjoy them like I do. I realized, it's too new to have my stuff from 1958 in it. | |
| Use Dual XLR to Dual RCA Cables or Use RCA to RCA on Subwoofers Pro-long runs, .. XLR of course, but home, short runs? Secure connections are advantageous, that’s the only advantage I found using XLR. I had already changed all my interconnects to Locking RCA connectors. You can wiggle the heck out of anythin... | |
| CDP under $2K recommendations, please I can only talk about what I have owned long story short, to get the best for less, I went vintage Sony xa5400ES I am ridiculously happy I found it. I went down the 'better cd player' road, then 'i've got a few SACD's', then oh, most players co... | |
| Seas tweeters for AE2 original I had a pair of JSE Infinite Slope Model 2’s They came with Dynaudio D21 tweeters. Better buy replacement D21's by the dozens they blew so easily (every time my teenage son had a party). I finally replaced them with some Focal tweeters I picked... | |
| Seas tweeters for AE2 original I presume you are asking because you really want them. specs are specs, dispersion in an enclosure is ___? what space is another. I recomment you buy thee a SPL meter, tripod, check the output a. close up, 1 foot away, right in front of the dr... | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? They also were my first darn good sounding speaker. got em with wedding money. I got married age 19 while in College. After they were stolen, I used to look for them in Garage Sales around here, for years. I’m very happy to have them active in m... | |
| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? You need gaps if you sort alphabetically. I did tricks over the years to keep em upright. I inherited LPs that came with true library shelving with recessed metal tracks and dividers, Expensive, doubtful I would ever have spent that much but it’s... | |
| What should I be looking for when buying my 1st Reel To Reel ? I'm assuming when you said 'play' you meant pre-recorded tapes (like me). Don't go by specs, my 1/4" 7-1/2 IPS pre-recorded tapes are my noisiest format (lowest S/N ratio). YET, they are my BEST sounding source when the music plays!!! Are you ... |
