| Is this an Upgrade or a Lateral Move? -Hard to make recommendations without knowing what the rest of your system comprises.B | |
| This is DigDug's Wife; DigDug passed away. Need advice on selling sound absorbing panels @OP,Sorry to hear about your husband.As far as pricing goes, I suggest looking at HifiShark, scroll to filters and you can limit what you want to see, then check on 'Sold'. You should get an idea of what prices have been for your merchandise.HTHBob | |
| Power Conditioners @facten ,+1.A whole house surge protector is a great investment. The units are self sacrificing, but at least you will protect everything downstream.Bob | |
| Streaming Service's Library @OP, These services are in it for the money.Cancelling is hardly the worst thing that can happen. In fact, if you hate it, you should know within a few days. That most offer 30 days is pretty generous.Bob | |
| Streaming Service's Library Many offer trials.And, you can always sign up and cancel, should their playlists not work for you. I have found customer service in most of these services to be very responsive, should you have issues.Spotify probably has the most complete list of... | |
| Monoblock Aegirs I would get a pair of Vidar's, if you want monoblocks. The Aegir's are only 20 wpc at 8 ohms.The Vandy 2's showed a minimum 5 ohm load on Stereophile, which is pretty good, but 20wpc is on the low side, especially for a 25 x 25' room.If it were me... | |
| Power Conditioners @tomic601,@hilde45 ,Thanks for posting that, and I miss Al, too. I think he will be remembered here for a long time as being one of the most pleasant, informative and well written contributors here on Audiogon.+1 for the Linear Power Supply.Bob | |
| Is Audiogon still struggling? Perhaps, due to the Pandemic, people are focused on more important things.Though they may be spending more time at home and just listening to music.😊B | |
| Power Conditioners Here is an interesting comparison between PS Audio and Audioquest, along with some useful information:https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/audioquest-niagara-5000-ps-audio-p20-directst...HTH Bob | |
| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier @msafrick,Mr. B. is building some Aria Monoblocks for me, too.It seems to be taking longer than expected, but I think that is due to difficulty in sourcing parts due to the pandemic. I have heard of other manufacturers having similar problems.Bob | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero @OP,Interesting. I have no experience with any of your equipment, so I can't comment. But, I would call Johnny again with your impressions. Given his knowledge of equipment, I am sure he would have some suggestions.All I can say is when I listened... | |
| Length of speaker cables @b4icu,Yes, science can help determine things, but one issue is what is being measured and how it relates to human hearing. - The latter being a variable that has no one set status, as each individual has different hearing abilities. This alone re... | |
| Length of speaker cables @b4icu,If I read it correctly, the 6 foot cables are the speaker cables, not interconnects.And, though your 8 guage wire will probably sound good, I can tell you it won't hold a candle to AQ cables, let alone the William Tell.- And, this is coming... | |
| Speaker cables under floorboards - a good or bad idea? I disagree with millercabon.I think running the cables underneath the floor in a conduit would be a good way to go. If anything you could change, I would opt for some Audioquest cables with DBS-Like the GO-4-Good but not cost prohibitive.Bob | |
| Neutral Sounding Tube Amps - what gives? @ozzy62 ,Sorry you feel that way. But, I hope you don't run into that Panda.You know, he: 'eats, shoot and leaves'.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eats,_Shoots_%26_LeavesB |
