| Preamp tubes in power amps Hello,I really like Rogue products. My suggestion would be to call Rogue and ask for Nick or Mark who is the owner. They really helped me out when I demoed the 180 darks and I needed to bias them since they probably don’t leave the store a lot due... | |
| Any Thoughts On These? Hello,I know that Bestbuy lost the Sonus Faber account but maybe there are some left over for a good deal. | |
| Any Thoughts On These? The last few lines were about the Martin Logins not the Audio Physics. The APs are awesome! | |
| Any Thoughts On These? Hello,I agree with DJones51. They do sound the best on tubes because it helps knock down the highs and squeezes in a little bit of the mids. Even on tubes they are missing the sweet mids. The treble fills the room in a good way meaning they disapp... | |
| Did I damage my speakers? Hello,The one thing that is bothering me is you said it is mostly happening when playing CDs. This leads me to believe it’s not the speakers. If you or a friend has another set of speakers I would try them out or even better put your speakers on a... | |
| Bi-wire changes for non bi-wire speakers Bi-Wire is not senseless is done correctly. The idea of bi-wiring is to let you use ttwo or more different types of wire to let you have more versatility when wiring the top end of sound from the bottom end of sound. I.E using a 14 AWG on the top ... | |
| At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home? Hello, I agree with Mijostyn, The recording has to be really good and correct. My system and room are very close. I recently auditioned the Ayre KX-R $30,000 preamp. I know if I had the matching mono blocks and the right speakers it would be right... | |
| Bi-wire changes for non bi-wire speakers Hello,First, Do what FatDaddy said.Second, you can have speaker cable re-terminated. Usually the amplifier end has either two spades or two bananas because usually amp speaker posts are running parallel or are the same unless they have an AB butto... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Hello,I know it is very difficult to buy 100% American made. Some companies do their do diligence to handle this. The one that comes to mind is Ayre Acoustics. The store I buy my gear from is the new Chicagoland Ayre dealer. Even cooler they have ... | |
| Older vs. newer REL subs Hello,I would get the matching older sub for right now. Everyone says get two matching subs. If you buy the matching sub to your current sub you will have a pair. This should make them both more valuable. I have a pair of the T9’s. I love them. Th... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Hello,The way I see it half day he is good and the other half say he is bad. Kevin, you are a genius for getting people to talk about you and your company for so long. There is no such thing as bad publicity because it ends up being free advertisi... | |
| The speaker/amplification wars continue Hello, Yes, These say they are rated at 14 ohms. Also, the have side foreign woofers. They probably go down to 35hz at least. I also remember there is something about using the metal cones onthe drivers to reduce ringing. Above my head so I don’t ... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Hello,I think it boils down to how resolving your system is. If you are using a $300 surround sound receiver pushing $10 speakers I doubt you will hear the difference. On the other hand if you had a six figure system I am sure you would hear the d... | |
| Any audiophiles into motorcycles Hello,?? Kawasaki Ninja 50098 Honda VFR 80006 Suzuki Bergman 400. I pay $130 a year for insurance on the scooter. My brother has a HD 883 sportster and I can smoke him off the line and top end. 110 mph on a scooter! I would love to get another VFR... | |
| The speaker/amplification wars continue Hello,Older coincidence speakers. The floor-standers are 14 ohms. These were my favorite speakers back in the day. I know these can be pushed with very little power via SET. This store I shop at has a used pair in their tube room hooked up to a pa... |
