| The longest you have owned any gear? The longest gear I own? Definitely my surround speaker cables. They must be 30' long each. | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Mundorf MKP caps are around $7. So even if you replace 3, it's still $21 / speaker. :) Best,E | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? Dude, Wish I had known. Wharferdale's are totally upgrade-able. They put in really nice tweets with crappy capacitors. Even an inexpensive film like a Mundorf MKP can really do a nice job for them.Otherwise, I really like Monitor Audio. Best,E | |
| Is this an ugly speaker? TAS cover 10/2017 No, it would look right at home in a hospital or automobile factory. | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world stringren - That is an odd thing. The place I listened to Wilsons would not let me bring my own music, but had lots of recordings which were mastered on Wilsons. Quite a neat trick I say.Best,E | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world Mid to treble, Magico easily outshine them. And, I still think Magico’s are cool sounding, but glass smooth. Best,E | |

| Is anyone familiar with Infinity Slope brand speakers? @roxy54 It is QUITE possible I have the brands all mixed up. For all I know JSE became JA. I do remember something like this occured, but no longer remember who the usurper was. Best,E | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! So help me out. This snubber is before or after the DC blocking cap? Best,E | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! For clarity, this is not a large coupling cap that failed in George's preamp. It's a high-frequency snubber, which is why the suspicion about outside causes. So...the amp got DC not through the coupling cap but through some shunting circuit... | |
| Impedance Question? Hi!The issue is almost entirely related to tubes. The manufacturer will usually recommend a minimum recommended impedance, and anything more is better.Stereophile will also test preamps with a variety of loads, and report on the effects,.Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi @ejr1953 I have not, but I am a huge fan of the Brooklyn Pre/DAC! Best,E | |
| Is anyone familiar with Infinity Slope brand speakers? My memory of this is that JSE used, without license, the Joseph Audio "infinite slope" crossover technology. There was even some weird stuff about JSE getting a patent, based on re-wording of the crossover slopes ( per decade vs. per octave). Jose... |
