| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? It’s the D3 Pro Walkman. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer I repeat, from earlier in the thread,"Amp designers are the worst, Jerry, the worst! They are at least two paradigm shifts behind the power curve. Sad, really. It comes from putting blind faith in audio circuits and being close minded to any othe... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Difficult to say what happened in the case you described. But it sounds like operator error. In any case it would appear to be an isolated case; if this problem with amps blowing up were systemic I'm pretty confident we would be hearing about it ... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Are they trying to say HiFi Tuning Fuses? Who knows? If it’s HiFi Tuning, that German company has been around like forever as has Isoclean from Japan, whose fuses actually ARE UL approved btw) and actually has data sheets on the HiFi Tuning websit... | |
| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? I am usually listening to a vintage Sony Walkman portable cassette player, I have a bunch including the Sony Professional Portable Cassette Player. I use vintage Sony ultralight headphones. I listen to standard issue commercial audio tapes as orig... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Incapable of performing it's function. What ARE you going on about? There is no such issue with aftermarket fuses. If amps were blowing up do you really think the company could remain in business? Give me a break. Now, can a customer put the w... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer The next thing you know Skeptics will be saying aftermarket fuses cause cancer or make hair grow on the palms of your hands. Gimme a break. Music Reference Audiocircle Forum? Isn’t that an oxymoron? | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Ah, yes. The old HQD system. That lasted a long time. Lol Which proves my point: By themselves the Quads have NO bass, NO treble and NO dynamics. QED. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable It would appear that air dielectric cables would not be terribly difficult to make, you just need spacers to keep the conductor centered in the jacket. Now vacuum cables, if there really are such things, is a horse of a different color. Of cours... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer The frustrating thing about the Quad 57s is how good they sound when they’re placed on stands and the grills and dust covers (Mylar) are removed. Otherwise, relatively speaking of course, they buzz and rattle, have no dynamics or bass and sit too ... | |
| Would you buy from a firm that has a policy about not accepting phone calls We only accept Teleportation type phone calls. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Yup, the original Quads. Oh, they blow all right!Seasons Greetings | |
| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? Cassettes sound better than CDs. You can read it any way you prefer. | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer I had Quads for a while. One of the most ill conceived designs ever. Now I ask you, why would ANYBODY put a thick almost solid metal grill over BOTH SIDES OF an electrostatic speaker? And to add insult to injury a Mylar sheet is placed over both... | |
| Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer Amp designers are the worst, Jerry, the worst! They are at least two paradigm shifts behind the power curve. Sad, really. It comes from putting blind faith in audio circuits and being close minded to any other way of thinking. Happens all the time. |
