| Joseph Audio RM7si or ProAc 1sc? Macatron's observations are right on the money, althoughthe amp flexibility I don't quite agree with.BTW, I have owned multiple pairs of both. Go with the ProAc's.Brian@Hello.lt | |
| FM Acoustics, who knows this company? I do, but this company is non existent in the U.S. (try to find a place to demo it, good luck).I've owned the product and visited the factory (Horgen, Switzerland).They told me (in May 1998) that their customers [and potential customers] are not o... | |
| Customer service? We have had to get replacement boxes and manuals from Thiel (via Shari).Yes, their customer service is very good (and very fast). Note: We are not a Thiel dealer.Brian@Hello.lt | |
| Ceramic fuses..where to get 'em http://www.ortonind.com/ | |
| Long Digital cable or Long ICs Digital cable. Less money, plus longer digital cables help reduce jitter as opposed to long interconnects which are costly and can degrade the signal (single ended). | |
| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Ejlif comments:We ship thousands of items yearly and deal with claims on incoming shipments constantly.Ejlif is RIGHT ON THE MONEY.We had the EXACT same experience with UPS in 1993. They paid 4 days after they were served.Assuming you are not at f... | |
| A'gon transactions: When is it legit to quit? Ed-You are too nice.Per your description, that guy is a flake,a proven flake at that (per his feedback).Probably best the deal did not happen, otherwise it soundslike you might have lost more than just time.Yes, always check the other members feed... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? Wait, where's my list....Actually, the weirdest was probably from a guy that wanted to know the religion of the owner of the hifi company in question before he bought the product.Did he buy it? What do you think? | |
| looking on preamp to match otl amp. Boy are you ever going to be in for a treat.I moved from a 2+2 to a Sound Lab M3, although my M3 is now directly driven by an OTL, I did love it also driven with the step-up transformer on the Sound labs.Good Luck on the pre-amp hunt.Allan | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Very good points from all.However, there are dozens of ZH-270 owners that have had trouble free operation for over 5 years.With an expected output tube life of 20 years, it's safe to say that one can also expect the same in trouble free years from... | |
| Audio Research is looking to sell the company This is old news (as in years old).I would not worry about them being sold.Bill Johnson is simply ready to retire, and at around 75 years old, who can blame him...Brian@Hello.lt | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Oneprof hits the nail on the head, in fact most of you have it right, non of you are wrong, in a way :)In a perfect world with a perfect speaker, the Berning may not sound any better than any other OTL but who lives in that perfect world, well, so... | |
| A little extra insurance on the cheap-Shipping "FOAM" stores will usually sell a 75-90 gallon bagof clean soft-medium foam scrap pieces for about $19.Sheets of soft foam are actually quite costly.One sheet of 24x60x3" soft-medium foam can run around $60 per piece.Adds up fast if you used this ... | |
| Fixing a weak Digital Cable audio signal?? A weak digital signal would not mean a lower volume... you either have lock or you don't, the amplitude of the analog signal is encoded and will not change with the amplitude of the digital signal. What freundk@us.ibm.com is experiencing has to do... | |
| open cell foam for entec subwoofer grill The Entec grill material is completely transparent (and ugly).I believe Wilson Audio used the same material on the Watt 3/Puppy 2.Contact Crosby Audio Works for replacement grills.Brian@Hello.lt |
