| Member Almarg passed away last night Al shared so much, with so many, in such a humble manner. So intelligent and knowledgeable, yet so kind. Al will be sorely missed.Margaret, our thoughts are with you and your family. | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg So much truth has been said in the many posts on offer here. There is no way to express how I feel about Al. He has always shared his endless knowledge and graciousness in a manner unmatched on this forum.My heartfelt thanks go out to Al and Marga... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? I also have to agree on Modwright. I had decided my preamp was the weak link, so I Talked to Dan at Modwright, and he had an SWL 9.0 Line Stage he was rebuilding. He finished it, and I bought it. Turned my system around completely, totally better ... | |
| Sonny Rollins - “Best” Saxophone Colossus CD? Zimick, that's very true. I don't know if there are just CD's available but I believe the Analog Productions are hybrid, w/both CD and SACD layers on the discs.BR,Dan | |
| Sonny Rollins - “Best” Saxophone Colossus CD? You don't mention if your CD player has SACD capability. The Analog Productions SACD I have is great, as is Way Out West. If you have SACD playing capability, these are the versions I recommend. BR,Dan | |
| Best cab for Tannoy 12" Hello Brookies,I've been wondering how you were doing on your quest. I went looking through my Tannoy info, and found the crossover design. I used to have some nice drawings of my speakers, but I can't find them anymore.Anyway, I figured I could l... | |
| Best cab for Tannoy 12" Brookies, did you check out my system page on Virtual Systems? There's quite a bit of information and photos there, including those of the outboard crossovers.I don't really have specs, as the enclosures were built for me using the limited informa... | |
| Best cab for Tannoy 12" About twelve years ago, I decided a return to Tannoy was something I had to do. I bought a pair of HPD 315 (12" Dual Concentric from the mid-seventies) on Ebay UK. I had a pair of enclosures made that are 150 liters, bass-reflex that are 17" X 20... | |
| Another shout out for great service I blew mine up a few years ago. Sent it back and it came back and has worked perfectly ever since. It was $500 then. Inflation. Regards,Dan | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases Oh, and I'm 73 as well. | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases For my HT system I use Class D Audio amps that I built from kits. For a little over $300, you could have plenty of clean, cool power. They also sell complete amps, too. All well under your budget. They sound surprisingly good.Best of luck, regards... | |
| Tannoy Reds vs Golds vs HPDS I've used two different Tannoy speakers over the last forty+ years, first, in 1970, was MG 12, in rather poorly made DIY cabinets, then in 2008, in a return to Tannoy, HPD 315 drivers in custom built 150 liter bass-reflex enclosures with nearly tw... | |
| what is your opinion ? Sabih, you can find pictures aplenty on my Virtual Systems, under "Done For Now" titled "The Summit", which refers to my own personal summit, not some indication of where I think it places me in the vastness of systems on Audiogon, or on Earth, fo... | |
| what is your opinion ? Sabih, Paul is about a two hour drive from me. When I told him I was in the market for an amp, one Saturday he brought four different amps for me to listen to. Last one was the 3C24, which had the best parts selection, and the best sound. Interest... | |
| what is your opinion ? Ralph, I don't have product literature for the amp, but Paul mentioned 11 Wpc, but it plays like it's more. Great match with what my speakers like in amplification.I've never enjoyed music so much at home in the last forty years or so. I've finall... |
