| FUSES, Finally!? love the directional fuse guys the best, because it is akin to wearing putting a swastika tattoo: It lets people know where you stand. As I have noted before, electricity from our wall outlets, interconnects, speaker cables, as well as sound WAV... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Audio nowadays is no more electronic enginering first but acoustical engineering first....A good electronic design is easy to buy, an acoutically dedicated room not so.....Ignoring this simple fact is throwing money to the street ....Anyway the st... | |
| Preamp choices:Short list Jimbones I don't know why you think tubes are a problem, I have a tube preamp that is point to point wired and I've left it on for nearly two years except during thunderstorms. | |
| Difference between amps that's my point... easy to drive, yet sensitivity under 90 dB (87 per stereophile measurements as you linked). limiting one's self to "highly efficient" speakers over 90 dB sensitivity, without regard for other factors, would be senseless except ... | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? I am not sure about your area, but I have seen types of businesses being closed, not individual stores. For example, grocery stores stay open, gyms close. In my observations, it was not "only this particular grocery store can stay open". It may be... | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Masks and keeping a six foot distance are fine. Closing businesses is not, and this is why I think it isn't. The few businesses that are still open are so busy you have a better chance of catching the virus, it's impossible to keep a six foot dist... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound Some i****s or (shills) will have you believe they can hear directional differences in an AC mains fuse, even though ac 60hz mains changes it direction 180 degrees 60 times a second, I let you digest that one.Cheers GeorgeThis is partially correct... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Studio professional *know* sound, both live and reproduced,They might know sound but they also gave us the loudness wars. I think a lot of recording engineer's try to change the sound and call it art. I have heard recordings from the 50's that sou... | |
| McIntosh vs Accuphase? It seems like you have your answer, the Accuphase is chosen more often in this thread than the McIntosh by people who own or have compared both. | |
| The survival of the fittest. He had had a couple pairs damaged in his showroom and he had several owners return them and demand warranty repair because they got damaged by a minor incident. I'm not sure if this is the major reason Apogee failed but it was certainly a factor.A... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I don't understand why you need a speaker manufacturer to build an active speaker, when you can make a lot of speakers active with an active crossover and your choice of amps. | |
| Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already? "new old stock in white boxes" you should be wary. Especially if these NOS are not military (JAN) tubes. A box doesnt prove that the tube is NOS, but the lack of an original box usually is very telling. I find this to be true, of all the tubes I h... | |
| Preamp recommendation There a couple of Don Sachs tube preamps on the used market at just under $2000. They retail new for about $2500. They’re based on the Aikido circuit boards from VTA. You can build the same preamp, as a kit, but in a very plain case, for as little... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? You should clean out your tube sockets, it may have some residue in there. | |
| Newbie, need advice. Most but not all, my amplifier takes 2.5 volts, some take more than that. |
