Insurance for system The cost is under $1,500 for almost $300,000 coverage. | |
Insurance for system I have added all my audio equipment to my scheduled personal items policy in my homeowner's insurance policy (HO5+). It includes jewelry, furniture, art works and audio equipment. The reason I added the audio equipment is because I live in Los A... | |
Suggestions for power amps In your price range, the Kinki Studio monoblock amps at $3700 have enormous power and recommended in a review as comparable to low $10Ks amps. Todd at Tekaudiospecialties.com is the U.S. distributor, does modifications to make them even better an... | |
Legacy Audio Focus SE vs. Canton Reference 5K I have had Legacy Signature IIIs for 18 years in my second system easily driven with a 35 watt EL34 tube amp. Superior deep and punchy bass. Open throughout 1,600' of floor space (emanates from my 400' living room). Excellent dispersion within ... | |
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 Is this new Class A Coda amp equal or better than my anticipated purchase of the Westminster Labs REI (I know they have double the power but I have 96db 6 ohm efficient speakers so that's not an issue). | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @p05129 My neighbor purchased his YG Sonja 3s and I purchased a Von Schweikert VR9 SE MK2 98% for their sonic properties and 2% because they looked appropriate (great finishes, black-we like that, in our dedicated listening rooms and for the livi... | |
Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Well, the only time that my wife ever experienced a physically attached moment to an audio system was when she heard the Von Schwiekert Ultra 11 speaker plus subs in a huge hotel conference room with a $1 million system playing my LPs and a CD. Th... | |
Planar Speakers and Diffusors I have extensive foam absorption on my side walls and ceiling with 90oz carpet. My front and rear walls are 3/4" cherry plywood with the entire room super strong and non-resonant (my profile indicates the $150K that went into building it). My old ... | |
Turntable prices. Is my mind going? In 2006, I had already owned a highly modified SME IV ($1100 in 1989) and wanted to upgrade from my VPI 19-4 (bought in 1982/all upgrades after). So, I purchased a VPI TNT (upgraded platter). It REQUIRED a Townshend Sesimic SInk due to terrible ... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I listen to music every night from 12 to 2 am and immediately fall asleep after a listening session, regardless of dynamics (but not most rock). I tube roll once, generally stick to the tubes chosen by the manufacturer but listen to my friends who... | |
Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @unreceivedogma I agree concerning the VPI 19-4 and my main table since 2006, the VPI TNT VI, probably a lifetime quality construction (and simple too). My best friend has a VPI Scout and it did have a flat worn out bearing. He had an expert firm... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign YOU are NOT a humble person. I am not savvy concerning electronics and have NOT insulted your typical bargain priced speakers. My query sounds to some other posters like mine, the same speaker cannot sound the same at double and tr... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign You did not answer my question how you can design (redesign) a speaker to behave optimally at three different impedences. I would not compare your Ulfberht to Focals as I have heard neither of them and my friends and I are not part... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign I never said that the Pendragon wasn't a good buy for most listeners. It's price as most Tekton speakers are in the more affordable to even inexpensive range. That Albert Von Schweikert complimented your design does not indicate t... | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers The video of the Pendragon's is from a very reputable reviewer. I don't doubt that the Pendragon's sound is very good and are really inexpensive. However, the caveat is that despite a benign impedance curve, they require a very stable and high q... |
