| Re-tip Ortofon Cadenza Bronze Send it to Ortofon, you’ll basically get a brand new Bronze for cheap (relatively speaking) Not to say another shop couldn’t do it, but it probably won’t be much cheaper. | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Do you hear this phenomenon simply listening, at any volume, or is it related to volume change, or power on/off etc? It could be just about anything. Could be as simple as ground noise, or as bad as an amp on its way out. More details would be hel... | |
| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! I would agree, your Node has issues of some sort. A reset might do it, easy enough to try. For the $$$ the Node (especially the current one) sounds really good. | |
| Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s) Once you get the 812’s dialed in, you will have an excellent sounding setup. Subs aren’t that hard to set up if you do it properly, especially REL’s. Your room WILL be a factor though, and treatments would be prudent. | |
| Wilson Watt 3 Tiny Tots Tweeter issue I’ve got Wilson’s as well… yeah they are freakin’ heavy for sure. Put them on sliders, makes them much easier to deal with when getting them placed. | |
| Upgrade path direction I’m with GHD, if you are going to stick to separates a great preamp is a must. But the speakers are what “speak” to you. If it were me, I would audition a few pairs of speakers with your current setup, then maybe a different pre. The Aleph is a ni... | |
| Wilson Watt 3 Tiny Tots Tweeter issue Interesting choice of words. Why are you “burdened” by a pair of Watt Puppies? Regarding the tweeter, unsolder it if you can vs cutting. It will make resoldering the new one just a little easier. | |
| Is this a scam? Wow… as mentioned previously, the only solution is run. Period. Refund the deposit, be done. You don’t even need to say why. Just do it. | |
| My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000? So. Many. Choices. You cannot go wrong with Hegel, Pass, Gryphon, Simaudio, Luxman etc. Look for reviews for the amps that suit your listening palette. Then go from there. | |
| Monstrous power cables No need for hostilities… the reality is, everything matters. Cables DO make a difference, no question. Where that sits relative to price is up to the individual. Lamp cord works, so does a 20k cable, as well as everything in between. It doesn’t ma... | |
| Ridiculous sale A scumbag is the guy that sells gallons of water for $10.00 in a hurricane zone. A guy that TRIES to sell an amp for a profit taking advantage of lack of supply not so much. Water is a need, an amp not hardly. If he gets the price he is asking, we... | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Yeah, yet another vote for the Node. Get the newest one, there is a good step up with the inboard DAC. Try it both ways to see what you prefer. Great little piece for the $$$. | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? Um, perhaps you should have mentioned Viva Tubes pricing in your o.p.? I’m with the others… it read poorly. Sorry. Regarding tube prices in general, inflation sucks. Everything is more expensive. But tubes don’t seem too bad overall. Good ones hav... | |
| What is this piece called? Sorry, everyone is just wrong. That is indeed the flux capacitor. Use it wisely, it will serve you well! | |
| Best progressive rock album side Best of’s are just way too subjective. Here are a couple of mine… Rush: Hemispheres Porcupine Tree: In Absentia Tool: Undertow Yes: The Yes Album Pink Floyd: Dark Side so many more, these came up first. |
