| What's the best EL84 amp? The Fisher (chassis) SA 16. Find one rebuild it and enjoy. Supper great under the radar tube amp originally used in a counsel why it’s called a chassis amp. One of the best little el84 amps I’ve heard ever. | |
| "High end" store snobbery To be honest it has nothing to do with their vintage stuff but your trade in period. I don’t know of any smaller audio shops that primarily deal in hi end 2 channel gear that want an AVR used in their shop. AVR’s don’t sell well on the used market... | |
| Otello vs. Carmen mkII.........help me choose. I have an Otello for a back up cart and they are nice but they are limited due to stylus type, IMO go for the carmen or better. | |
| VdH cartridge on heavier tonearm I also have a VDH light weight cart and have tried it on heavier arms and its a no for sure. but that said I contacted VDH and they can rebuild the cart to a lower compliance if desired. | |
| Midrange hearing loss, u shape. my friend just got some very nice hearing aids specifically designed for audio. they tested his hearing and adjusted the areas he was deficient in only. the hearing aids allow the normal music from your speakers to pass through unobstructed and on... | |
| Aurender N20 or A15 If it matters I have the A10 and also a C2700 and if i was honest the C2700's Dac2 is as good if not more detailed then the A10's internal DAC. I'm not sure if the newer ones are better but I find the A10 to be rather boring using the internal DAC... | |
| Roon Nucleus vs generic NUC the roon nucleus was a huge disappointment in my system i sold it and moved on. just open the box and look inside your phone has more in it then the nucleus. but seriously its not worth the money. lackluster sound at best my optimized PC was bette... | |
| High powered single end 300b recommendations one other consideration for you if you go to a Parallel or Push Pull 300b you will be replacing 4-8 300b's tubes when they go, worth it? they run what around $250 each these days for average ones. re-tubing gets costly fast. | |
| High powered single end 300b recommendations I’ll say it as no else will 86db speakers and 300b’s are not going to work. I tried a set 300b amp (8wpc) with 94db speakers and it wasn’t enough. Parallel amp only 16wpc not enough. 300b’s do not sound great when driven much above 50% power so t... | |

| Starting Point for Room Treatments? What holmz said :-) | |
| Starting Point for Room Treatments? Have you measured your room's acoustics? That should be your first step as you cant fix what you don't know is wrong. there is enough free software now that this is a simple process, you need a calibrated mic and a laptop. the mic can be got off ... | |
| I am looking for a replacement remote for my Magnum Dynalab MD208 receiver. Have you had the remote serviced by a local tech may only need a good cleaning of contacts etc. remotes are really simple devices but dirt and corrosion of the contacts make them fail but can be cleaned/repaired usually. Another option is a univ... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions A brand not that popular here yet in NA is Acoustic Solid out of Germany. they have been around for over a decade now and build tables that are very well made. I went from a VPI prime 21 to one of Acoustic solids tables, actually less money then t... | |
