| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers FWIW, Polk in general are looked down upon by audiophiles with some good reasoning. Vintage Polk not so much as they were much more suited for the audiophile world. Polk headed in a downward spiral after they courted the mass market and nothing th... | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. Fwiw, my surround system speaker set up is all Polk, vintage but Polk nonetheless. R/L front 3.1TL, center Cs350l, surround FX500. Had it that way for a long time and am not changing it. I've heard a lot of systems but like mine the best. No all ... | |
| If your system were a car! Ok, I'll play for fun. A Hyundai Sonata Limited fully decked out. Why, cause in my old age I want smooth, luxurious, quality with a great warranty and service and stupendous performance. | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, of course it was in jest as I'm more than well aware of problems that occur with vintage equipment. I can honestly say this piece is a lone survivor and I pray it stays with me. Other vintage from the era has gone to equipment heaven. I symp... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? My vintage Sony PS4300 DD (1976) is still pristine and working like new. Many cartridges died along the way. Still performs magnificently and sounds good too.Knocking on wood. Still got original box and it's 220/110 convertible. Purchased at the P... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Was digging thru some storage boxes recently and some old and forgotten equipment I had. Since I also recently pulled my vintage 1977 turntable out and connected it I thought this stuff might come in handy. Anyone know what vintage a white zero St... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker I also think it's possible that the listening environment has some effect. In my case I did substantial room treatment years ago trying to improve the sound of my SS system. I was fortunate to accomplish that. Had professional come to set up my ro... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker I did remove the sub from the system and did some experimentation regarding low octave reproduction ranging from 65db levels to 90db. The most obvious noticeable change was the loss of very and I mean very low bass reproduction however the system ... | |
| JL Audio F110 Fathom pops... I have recently read about a lot of Jl owners having very similar issues here on the forum. Seems they all have capacitor issues. It goes way back to the early 2000s. There are even instructions on how to fix it yourself. Seems inadequate Chinese ... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker Agreed mapman, I'm enjoying the experience. Too old to start going into the tube rabbit hole but wished I'd tried tube everything in my younger years. My immediate concern was that a tube amp would not be powerful enough for my style of listening ... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker No raining here, just stating my experience. I'm sure that there is much better out there. Really do not have anything to compare it to other than SS and it does beat it hands down. I wanted to see if it could handle the big floor sanders and it c... | |
| BEST budget system. What is yours? Budget system? What's that? I've blown the budget on every system I was lucky to own. | |
| SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B +1 for mapmans suggestion. The Rogue Pharaoh has it all at reasonable cost. | |
| Running 2 systems in 1? Yes, is the short answer. I run both a HT system centered around high quality SS equipment an a 2 channel system centered around quality integrated tube equipment. Is it optimal? Probably not but it pleases me immensely. |
