| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? rvpiano1 .... exactly. It wasn't close in the late '80's early '90's. Now I have my main system to the point that vinyl and sacd sound identical. Looking ahead to this back in the 90's, I tried not to buy cd's that duplicated most of my vinyl c... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? Are you kidding? My vinyl collection is a documentary to my life .... starting with my purchase at age 15 of my first two LP's from the Capital Records Club .... Kenton in Hi-Fi, and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Le Coq de Or" by the Pittsburgh Symphony.I a... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? I also did a "listening comparison" test in 1982 in Louisville, KY of tuners. I keep hearing about those fabulous Japanese tuners .... and did so at the time. So borrowed and assembled a bunch of US and Japanese tuners. As for sound quality, th... | |
| Selling a mostly complete setup Ditto to the above. | |
| Researching value of two pairs of hi-end speakers I forgot to add ... the Aristocrats are corner horns and only develop their full potential of bass when placed in a corner. So room dimension and listening positions become even more critical than usual.Even so, don't expect bass to extend below ... | |
| Researching value of two pairs of hi-end speakers The EV Aristocrats most popular configuration was with SP12B 12" triaxial speakers, although some featured the heavier-duty SP-12 triax's.If Jensen speakers were substituted they probably are similar to the two Electro-Voices. Some prefered the s... | |
| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? Other really good lower cost values: older Dyna PAS 3/3x tube units; Counterpoint SA-1000 tube unit. | |
| Thiel Owners jafant -Will definitely present my findings re the tweeter replacements.Harry | |
| Thiel Owners jafant -Yes, Rob's quote was about two months ago. | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system This may have been already mentioned, but a website called Audiogon (audiogon.com) has a service called "BlueBook". It requires a subscription and costs $9.95 a month. It records the sale price of all gear sold on their site, going back to the l... | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? Put me in the "anti" camp. I sold all the Japanese brands in their '60's heyday .... the US designed Haron-Kardon's beat them hands down. The Audionics BP2 preamp and CC amplifier beat all of them hands down. And these were in the same price ra... | |
| Thiel Owners wajarret - Rob Gilliam told me he could sell me rebuilt original tweeters for the 3.5 for around $270-280 (can't remember precisely). That helps set a ceiling I would think.On the other hand, I'm going to buy one of the Chinese tweeters and if t... | |
| Thiel Owners Theilrules - the Chinese tweeter claims to be a D28 Dynaudio replacement. Thanks for the specific information.wajarette - I'll take a closer look at what's available on eBay. Thanks.Harry | |
| Thiel Owners wajarette -My 2.2's are with me until I die, or at least until Tom comes up with his upgrade.I'd like my 3.5's to be with me as well, but that will depend on how good a replacement tweeter works (need three). I love those speakers ..... heard the... | |
| Thiel Owners Just as I got my reconfigured system where I wanted it, I made a mistake and blew one of my two 3.5's with good tweeters (two others already have blown or scraping tweeters and have been out of the system.) So I am finally going to have to locate... |
