| Spendor D9.2 Run In I'm coming in later here and I've not read every post. I also have the D9.2's and run them off my C2700 and MC275 like you and frankly they are disappointing in my room. What I'm getting is a very detail but tipped up presentation the tweeters ar... | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? I moved from a VPI Prime 21 to an Acoustic Sold table from Germany and i'm very happy with the build quality and sound for less than the VPI set up, and frankly better built than the VPI. Acoustic Sold has been around for over a decade they make t... | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? in my experience with Vintage there are some very good deals out there, unfortunately as time goes on many of the highly desirable pieces have gone through the roof for prices. Also, many items from the 80-90 are now coming into their own vintage ... | |
| Need preamp recommendations for a Dynakit ST-35. why not build an SP1# kit to match? that said where did you find a Cary SLP94 that's a killer preamp for the era (no remote though). i used to have one and still miss it. they are rare as well. better than the offerings from Tubes4hifi IMO. I... | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp C2700 Is a very feature rich preamp. I have one and after tube roll it's one of the best I've tried for the money. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) All i could think of when watching this video is, Tannoy's been doing this for half a century. let alone others. why is this so special? | |

| Revox Agora B Interesting find in the used market. Revox / Studer is Swiss. actually, the drivers are all stamped Studer. totem395; yes, I'm in Victoria BC just north of Seattle. got them from a nice gent named Paul. lalitk: my office / bedroom area is just an offshoot if my loft that's a... | |
| Best value Set amp for under $1500 used is ok. Just to comment on the Willsenton amps being suggested, I had the R8 for a while and i was impressed with the overall build quality and sound. Only thing i didn't like was the remote volume control was too fast to be useful in a hi efficiency syst... | |
| Cornwall IV or La Scala vs the big boys I moved from some highly modded Lascala's to Spendor D9.2 ($16,600 canadian) recently. Spendors; more balance overall, slightly more detail level (especially up top) and of course deeper bass and a more delineated and separate sound stage. easier... | |
| Long digital or balanced cable run? I think for the lengths you're talking about it make zero difference. but what type of digital cable is the question? optical would make zero difference at these lengths, wire run would have more effect and you'd be limited by the type of cable an... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused How do you think vibration effects the sound? To me this is mute, the only way i know of that an electronic component will be affected by vibrations is if there is a magnetic field in the area strong enough to induce current in the system due to ... | |
| What Gear Has Disappointed You? Aurender A10 lack luster sound for excessive money. its built well but has a boring presentation. Roon Nucleus other than room software itself what a disappointing sound from a well review streamer, not surprising when you open one up and see an ... | |
| Packing & Shipping Large/Heavy Speakers I shipped some 250lb each speaker (Von Schweiker VSR) a month ago, after a lot of looking the best option i found was a moving company trucking section. i used Day and Ross (not sure if they are in the USA) it was 1/2 the cost of all the usual cur... | |
| What is on the horizon for POWER! As a combat systems technologist I see many issues arising when upgrading older ships/subs to more power intensive systems. Specially some of the radar and sonar systems that require large amounts of power usually 240-440v, at hi frequencies like ... |
