| Ridiculous resale price of vintage equiment Note that I’m not referring to old truly vintage gear.. I’m not negating that older stuff, usually with tubes in it, are worth rebuilding because tubes have a sound quality (mostly in the midrange) that makes them extremely appealing. Take a Fishe... | |
| when did it all get so complicated? Many ways to do this. Hopefully you’ll get the hint... it’s pretty easy, really. (1,2) In our home offices, I got a couple of NuForce DDA-100 DAC/Amps. Windows 8 laptops via USB to DDA-100 USB input. PC plays Tidal HiFi and using FooBar to play m... | |
| thought on eBay? NO eBay for audio. For audio, I’ve used them 3 times: (1) Year 2000, bought a Marantz 4140.. seller shipped me a 2240. A clear case of fraud. It took me a month and I ended up paying 50 bucks for the receiver because I didn’t want to have to shi... | |
| I have a weird buzz issue; can you help me solve the problem? It sounds like a ground problem. Integrated amp, plugged with a cheater ( no ground ) directly to the plug, no inputs, nothing else, and you get a low level buzz that is leaking into the amp circuits.Perhaps the outlet is wired backwards, it hap... | |
| What Do You Think of This Device: Parasound Zphono-USB You’re in Audiogon.... have you thought of buying a used phono preamp? Nothing against the Parasound Z, I have a stack of their Z components, and they are OK for what they do (and cost) but there is much better and if going used, you save some buc... | |

| Location of computer relative to system How about leaving the laptop, on, but with the lid down, put in on the rack with the components and access it remotely?You can do that with an Android tablet, going over ssh/pUTTy/Mobaterm to Linux and remote desktop connection to Windows. Surely ... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? Hi... I'm curious now. I got a 60w tube amp and 60/100 w (8/4 ohms) Class A FET amps.They are driving, respectively, Acoustic Energy AE1s and Maggies 1.7s. (same preamp and front end). The result is systems with good bass, excellent midrange an... | |
| where to get a Rawson Aleph 5 clone repaired? Thanks for the reply.... PBN... I took a look at the amps and realized that one of the wires had broken off the PC board. I resoldered it and the amps work fine now. In the future I will keep you in mind. You're in El Cajon? Funny, I work in Ranch... | |
| Anyone using KT88's in D series ARC gear? I've had my D70s with Svetlanas for quite a while. I did think about going to KT88s but the amps worked fine so why mess with them?However, I did have the amps modified with five way binding posts soldered to the 16 ohm outputs.It was a much bette... |
