| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @yogiboy Thanks for the reference. Will take a look. Nice to be back. I was hitting social media overload and life was pushing all that stuff to the rear burner. If I'm on Agon, it means I have time to listen, which means that things are better. T... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @vthokie83 When these threads don’t spin into pissing contests, they are actually filled with well meaning people that just want to pass along what they have learned.....and have been invaluable in my re-education. I totally agree. That’s wha... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @corelli Did an extended comparison of Fritz with the Akitika GT-102 Z4 vs. the Pass Labs XA-25. There was no comparison -- with the Pass: bass tighter, greater clarity in the soundstage, wider soundstage, more presence. That said, the Akitika re... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @mattw73 I really like how you described it and would agree. Fritz’s speakers are not cheap but there’s no middleman and I feel like people are getting his 40 years of experience in this very evolved model. No one begrudges a good chef at a unique... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @corelli Need to try the Akitika. Will let you know. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @mesch Hi back to you! Hope you're well. @waytoomuchstuff Very kind — thanks! @thecarpathian "Question: If you could keep only one pair, between the two which one would you choose?" If it was my ONLY speaker -- probably the Ascend because ... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @decooney Thanks for the kind words. @ghasley Hello from your CO neighbor! @tksteingraber I like the way you phrased your praise. There is this weird, unassuming naturalness to the speakers, the experience of music "just happening to be in ... | |
| Do Audio Hobbyists Commonly Fail to Fully Utilize Their Systems? My own answer is "yes," and failing to account for and then measure and adjust the room's acoustics is the biggest way I failed to make the most out my equipment. One of the most difficult parts of this hobby for me is the full admission that "the... | |
| Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd. I've been away for a while, but it's good to see that the ol' standards are still playing on the Forum. Cables -- REAL! Cables -- SNAKE OIL! Backyard fighting, audiophile style. But where's the joy in any of it? | |
| Thanks to the Moderators Glad they're protecting us from anything triggering. Phew. | |
| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? I have tried multiple preamps with my QS mono 60's. A QS Line Stage, a 6SN7 preamp similar to the deHavilland Ultraverve III, a ChiFi preamp based on a Pass design (very quiet, clean, cheap), and another DIY preamp based around a hi quality Burson... | |
| Creativity on artists I dislike Yes @larsman be afraid ;-) LOL | |

| JBL's Marketing Blunder.. I can see the younger generation that so many here lament about seeing the value of this hobby watching that ad and going for it. Isn't that what we old timers want? Totally. Except for the grumbling grandpas preferring their sour grapes. | |
| List Of Small Company Tube Amps Why wouldn't DecWare count anymore? It surely counts but a friend of mine in Denver was on a two year wait list for his, so it's not exactly the way to go if you want to listen to music in the near future. |
