| Pass 150.5 hissing and popping Does that Pass amp run real hot? Excessive heat will cause capacitors to age. Turn the amp off when not in use. | |
| Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there? There is a Hafler DH 110 preamp on EBay for $325 + $32 shipping. Why spend more? I have one in my collection of preamps. Sonically as good as any four-figure preamp - contrary to what the "golden ears" crowd claims. | |
| Mogami 2549 (Standard) vs 2534 (Quad) etc Just buy the least expensive ones. No point in spending more because they all sound the. same - contrary to what the "golden ears" crowd claims.. | |

| Looking For 18awg Audiophile Power Cable Options What about all the miles of non-audiophile extremely thin copper wire in the power transformers of all your components? So why should several feet of a power cord matter? | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? @pennfootball71 : "I would say it takes about 100K to really make a statement vinyl rig and 200K for a reference vinyl rig" - so spake the moneyphile! | |
| Do I buy an upscale TT? Stick with what you have! The 301/Tri-Planar/Grado Epoch is truly excellent - and very costly! Spending more $$$ beyond this is a waste of money! If you want to hear a real change buy a better pair of speakers. | |
| Nordost Frey-2 Expect to get half of what you paid for it. | |
| What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms? I have a Richard Brown Brown Electronics Lab BEL 1001 (serial no. 0001). 50wpc Class A - rear heatsinks get quite hot! Cost new $3500 in 1982. TAS put it in the top category for sonics! I bought it from the original owner, who was a friend of Mr.B... | |
