| Dan D'Agostino S250 MxV enough power for Wilson Audio Alexia V No need to spend five-figures for D'Agostino! Buy the Peachtree 500 for $1400. 680wpc@4ohms from a load-invariant class D amp. | |
| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... That's easy! Henry Kloss's KLH table radio from the late 60's! We had one in my workplace then. I remember listening to a long track from Savoy Brown (Live from Hernando's Hideway) broadcast from WNEW FM in NYC! Yes, WNEW was a great free-form roc... | |
| Mcintosh MCD-12000 Optical disc players were perfected decades ago. A $12K player is sonically indistinguishable from a $300 player. McIntosh's company motto might as well be "We proudly fleece the rich". | |
| Spade to banana adapters No! | |
| Over or under? - Standmount isolation Neither! I have Rogers LS3/5A’s on 28-inch metal stands (14lbs each). I use no damping. The concrete floor is carpeted. I notice no adverse sonic effects. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @hifiguy42 : I agree! Listener was always a fun read for me! | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? It is a tragedy that Art Dudley died at a relatively young age (52). He had such a unique personable style of writing! You the reader could imagine Art as being your friend! I always turned to his column first when I received each new Stereophile! | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @fuzztone : my friend and I would argue about which was better - International Audio Review or The Audio Critic? He liked IAR, I liked TAC. He did buy the NAD 3020 on Aczel's recommendation and sold his Kenwood L07 Mono's. I bought TWO 3020's so I... | |
| Can someone educate me on headphones and an experience of mine? There is a set of HiFiMan Arya V2 planar magnetics for sale here on Agon for $932. Add a Musician Audio headphone amp ($450/Agon) and you will have a superb sounding system! | |
| Icon Parsec speakers You have gotten the bargain of the month! They were designed by David Fokos, who designed speakers for Conrad Johnson. List price of $1495! There is a review by JA in Stereophile's archives. Enjoy! | |
| Marantz CD Player Model CD-63SE and Marantz AV Stereo Receiver Model SR-63 There is an SR63 AV available on eBay for $119.95 with free shipping from South Carolina. Also several more for around $200. | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? @sfgak : is that really composed by an AI? It sounds just like JA! How about Michael Fremer reviewing the Tech Das Air Force 1 TT? | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? The only publication worth reading - and thinking about - was Peter Aczel's The Audio Critic. I was an early subscriber in '76 and had all the issues. Aczel told the TRUTH about the audio scene as his own journey went from subjectivist to objecti... | |
| Practice Amp for use with Headphones advice Flip a coin! I doubt you can tell either apart. | |
| Marantz CD Player Model CD-63SE and Marantz AV Stereo Receiver Model SR-63 The CD63SE is worth little because of its age/use and it may soon require a replacement laser assembly. My younger CD67SE from 1997 only worked for a little while before the laser died. It was a second hand eBay purchase. I forget what it cost. Bo... |
