| change amps or speakers I'm re-thinking my comment after looking at the specs on that speaker. How low do they dip, impedance-wise? | |
| change amps or speakers I have those same amps and they have much more power than you think. If you'd like to message me, I can tell you what I've used them to drive. I've paired them with a couple of preamps and my main preamp is a Quickslilver linestage. But their wat... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ @millercarbon That was a really nice, graduated ladder of listening growth -- the audiophile's bildungsroman. Another poster here with really great ears also uses YT, but not to evaluate anything in an absolute sense; rather, he does what you desc... | |
| Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it @ml8764ag If this thread is so worthless, why take any time to read it or comment upon it? If talking about trolling...is pretty much...trolling, then talking about talking about trolling is...more trolling. | |

| Negotiate good price Let's turn this into an SNL skit:Tubebuffer: Welcome to Audio Troll. I’m the guest host Tubebuffer. My friend, the regular MC, asked me to fill in this week. He went on a long rant and has not come back yet. Long story short, he’ll hopefully recov... | |
| Negotiate good price I’m now convinced this is all made up. G’night . | |
| Negotiate good price +1 @jayctoy I agree with the other analyses here (about tire-kicking, etc.), and I do understand why the salesman would have felt like their time was being wasted. BUT...the customer has at least come into the store and how long could it take to ... | |
| Mixing & Matching Components @paulgaulke60 That was a good piece on Jarrett. Some have been discussing it on this forum. Really important musician. I don't get the negative comment about NYT in connection to Jarrett. Reflexive, childish, petulant, sad. | |

| Adding a sub woofer? Hi Duke,Another very experienced member (building speakers over 40 years) on Agon mentioned that a second sub *could* cause interference or node conflicts. I was debating if I should buy another one and I was having trouble finding an identical RE... | |

| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) @yogiboy That's too obvious! I'm such an idiot. |
