| Class D Amplification Announcement Once again, if I understand Class 'D' you will be put at the table of the designer's likes and dislikes with nothing to say for yourself. In other words, they are the ones that choose what and where in the audio spectrum things will get the emphas... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? ronboco Crescendo was the shop that used the Xbox, and the salesperson spent more time making excuses as to why I couldn't hear anything below about 60 Hz (he had removed his sub) instead of making sure his system was running its finest. I did cal... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? tomcy6 I must agree with you. I am interviewing Amps and Receivers currently and when you walk into a store and they can't play something that you know well... I have always taken in my own music and now all they want to do is stream and they can... | |
| Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000 asvjerry Not sure about PVC foam and sheetrock but, That is why I put my tubes in a traditional box. People expect that. No, I don't charge that much for mine and don't expect to compare mine t those yet I wonder? I have not heard any speakers ... | |
| Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true? So taking this one step further, What if you have other speakers in your listening room that you use for other purposes? Like having separate components for your AV system and your Audiophile stereo in the same room. The only way around this is to... | |
| Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000 You can achieve near the same result by using readily available material, PVC, and getting rid of that ignorant BOX shape, which just happens to be structurally the weakest and most sound ABSORBING shape there is, by going round. What does that ad... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? I must say on these speakers if your want to change the Caps, it is your money and sounds like a guess. I would only say whatever grade of caps used, get the EXACT same grade, as like in Mundorfs', Not all are the same. I just replaced the Caps in... | |
| Beware of scam listings - users now have positive feedback. I got in a tiff with a seller that tried to force me into a purchase and even threatened me. After contacting Agon they rectified the situation rapidly. Now it may have been a legit sale as it was a local pick-up, but I only wanted to show that Ag... | |
| Shunyata Research Venom X EF Power Cable - Have you heard them? Baylinor, I really don't think it is a matter of the type of dwelling, but more Who built and wired it. Also what city do you live in? I am in Denver and we enjoy pretty clean Power for the most part. Though I have a rather well-made power conditi... | |
| Why is Audiogon checking my browser? Something has been going on At Audiogone and it’s not good, BUT I will not blame them for using Captcha. Sites need protection against bots to protect the US as much as to protect themselves. I just wish we didn’t have to go through the birthing p... | |
| What does Q mean in speaker specifications? I like the answers here. Very good. I'd like to add that in my DIY towers people are often amazed that I get so much bass from what appears to be 10-inch drivers, then I pull the grills off exposing only 8-inch drivers. This effect that everyone i... | |
| OMG. What now? As to your QUESTION, 'Where can I sell Gear" Audiogone handles high-end gear and though some of the people there are ignoranusus, the actual people in charge are respectful and quite helpful. They also handle outright sales and auctions. Beyond t... | |
| What I really hate about some music That sounds exactly like what my homeroom teacher in the mid 60's told us to do one morning. It took me many years but that and poor quality sound engineering totally washed me out of the Rock-n-roll scene by the mid '70s and I don't regret going ... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? I'm sorry if I am beating a dead Horse. I feel you shouldn't have to sacrifice good quality sound. I must restate that you should look for the source after a reasonable effort to protect your equipment. In doing so I would first follow up on your ... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? It may NOT be HAM radio but HAMs have been using PACKET radio for many years. It was just one more place to look for a source of trouble. Packet Radio : Software for packet radio use - The DXZone.com |
