| Soldering Help rodman99999 is knowledgeable. My vote is for rod, I would definitely take his advice and I've been soldering for 50+ years. | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? Harbeths are too colored for my taste. | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos Bob was highly regarded for his SS equipment. In my opinion, his new tube equipment is not up to the quality that one would expect from such an excellent designer. His claim about how long tubes will last is all marketing. I'm afraid he's just in ... | |
| OSRAM 12V 3W imhififan is ABSOLUTELY correct. It’s like a slow turn on circuit! He really knows his stuff. Sorry if I made you think it was not a genuine response. | |
| Why not use a piece of silver wire instead of a jumper cable? I don't use jumpers, but if I did they would be silver. I'm a big silver believer! | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Modified JBL Hartsfields, never going anywhere. A friend bought some JBL L212’s with an extra low frequency driver, I still enjoy listening to them when I go to visit. Captcha 4 times since login, bye! | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? Nope, one or the other. I've been enjoying silver BNC connectors for several years now. | |
| KEF Reference 1 bass response? Add a couple subwoofers depending on the room size. If not, you will be missing at least 1.5 octaves on the low end. | |

| OSRAM 12V 3W Excellent. imhififan, you made me laugh😀 | |
| Returning damaged item to seller.... Just keep in the back room, it may take awhile. You owe the seller nothing, much less ANY return shipping cost. I’ve been buying and selling online for over 21 years. As a seller, I had to learn the hard way, don’t feel sorry for the guy. Guess I ... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. If you don't know how to fix or keep it running, until it dies. If you do, then until you can no longer lift it or you really need the money. All of my "vintage" equipment has gone up in value 2 to 4 time the price I paid for it.😁 | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Why are you supporting China's economy? I don't get it. I can understand an iPhone only. | |
| Biamp question panzrwagn - Looks like you are correct about the 180Hz. crossover point to the 7" driver, guess I missed that. I’m with you on using an active crossover, don’t you think the internal crossover split is at 180Hz. for bi-amping, not 2.8kHz.? +1 to c... | |
| Best speakers around $130k? I'll second Magico and MBL. |
