| Interconnects and non-believers I agree with Elizabeth about purchasing inexpensive gear that sounds great. My 2nd audio system uses a Pioneer DV-05 from 1998, a dual laser DVD player available for $50 on ebay everyday; however, it is modified at the audio and power stages with... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers At this time, I would like to promote a high end, labor intensive, patented design IC from my friend at http://www.groverhuffman.com/interconnects He also has an Empress + (at $450/m) and the new Pharoah ICs (at $1,000/m). A common thread in this ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Why is it that so many GON forums are for the purpose of conversation concerning various audio products? Are they also in violation of the forum "code"? What purpose are the forums if one cannot write about a product? There are 1000s of forums con... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Don't fret. The SR Black fuses are great once broken in compared to ordinary fuses. The SR Blue fuse is somewhat better but sounds great immediately upon installation. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic It's been seven months after first applying TC. If anyone is interested in my opinion, I say that the SR Blue Fuse installation is more important than TC. Two fuses cost as much as one tube of TC, so choose where you can afford to spend your fun... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( That is a very big YES. It is as resolving as most if not all my analog (a mod VPI TNT VI w/mod SME IV and Benz Ruby3). I listen to a lot of Contemporary CDs and they rival my original stampers. It’s all in the remastering with Phil De Lanci hit a... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Michael Fremer reinterviewed Mr. Kirmuss at the Munich show. A lot to think about after hearing the interview. https://www.analogplanet.com/content/if-charles-kirmusss-record-cleaning-machine-and-regimen-correct... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( EAR CDP can be run direct to amplifier(s) with the volume control. Otherwise, the recommended setting for output is at 2 o'clock. There really wasn't an EAR Acute 2, it skipped up to Acute 3 with digital input, then the two box version and now t... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Playmore. Thanks for the support (and others). As to the Pioneer, it's only an adequate player without the mods (six capacitors, of which some are power supply related, my engineer friend is the one who does the mods) and the A/C cable. I bough... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( As far as a great CDP, two EAR Acute sold on Gon a few months ago for about $1800 and $2000 each. They are fabulous players. I highly recommend them as a last player you'll need for CDs. Get NOS 6922s and a high end power cord to get the most o... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense I posted this on another forum but it's relevant here too. There is a problem with HEA. That is summarized in today's article from Enjoy the Music: Come Admire My Hi-Fi Jewelry Roger Skoff writes about what things cost, and why. This essay del... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense Right on. I have a $100,000 system with only Legacy Focus (original) speakers which sell for $2,500 used. It sounds great, better than 90% of audio show rooms (well maybe higher than that). However, it required use of Synergistic Research HFT ... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( I just sold a friend a Yamaha CR-1020 and a pair of Dynaco A-25 speakers for $450. He needed the amp to run two pairs of average efficiency speakers. Overall, a nice musical sounding combo with a good phono stage (he is buying a turntable soon).... | |

| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? My big 125 watt tube amps have a 45 second warm up. Once on, they take about 20 minutes to reach maximum set bias. Although they run cool enough to put your hand on the transformers (Class A/B), the tubes only last 2500 hours. So, I do not want... |
