| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? @innaI believe Elizabeth was referring to the far east...specifically China, India, Pakistan. Not mush contact between classical Greek society and those folks!😲 | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @bondmanp Unbelievable coincidence. I just sent my primary away for significant upgrades and pulled out my 22k input impedance Adcom GFA-555 back-up amp. I have two 2wq subs. paired to my Treo CTs. I would suggest setting the crossover to 10k.... | |

| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue That sounds like a good approach. In all of my modded and stock equipment, I have opted for the modifiers or designers who emphasized the robustness of the power supply. Music has an "effortless" quality to it through such gear. | |
| Speaker audition recommendations? @stereo5 And they always say the way to win over a man's heart is through his stomach.🍽🍸 | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue @whitestix I hope you post the results of the 5400 project. There are quite a few A'Goners who are prejudiced against modifying gear as they fear it will reduce the resale value when they decide to move on to other gear. Perhaps some will rethi... | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue @whitestix The Adcoms are ripe for modifying.

It was many years ago that... | |

| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue @stereo5 Glad you posted here. How is your cj amp doing? | |
| Amp away for 20 year upgrade...back-up amp to the rescue @arcticdeth Good question about faceplate. I saw pics on the SMc site where the faceplate is changed. I guess I'll leave that to Steve and Patrick. | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? Penalty flag! 😠 Some women might consider your post to be a micro or macro aggression. "The Horror" I am pleasantly surprised to hear so many members here mention their wives as anecdotally confirming the sound improvements they hear. I must agr... | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? +1 @erik_squires Yea, the car analogy is appropriate. In trying to explain what being an audiophile or enthusiast is about, I often use the car analogy. In the same way that we tweak our systems with different footers, fuses, cables to tailor ... | |
| NOS tubes @freediver No argument from me about what you said above. If what you say is true, why all the fuss about buying NOS tubes rather than current production? Because NOS adherents will use numerous adjectives to describe the sound of their gear wit... | |
| NOS tubes My perception of this is that NOS tubes were manufactured in the hey day of tube use in TVs, Radios, military equipment, etc. etc. Because they were so essential to, in many cases, sensitive circuits, those tubes were manufactured to very strict,... |
