| Why Preamps Thump on Turn on I leave my preamp on 24/7 - same as my amp. Both transistor. No thump from either on turn on/off. | |
| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable "...and a 12 AWG wire size help to deliver greater resolution, clarity and a noticeably deeper soundstage." LOL! | |
| 1960 Klipsch Heresy Value As I posted above that was the second pair I sold. Back about 12 years ago I bought a pair at my local Goodwill for $25. Tried them, didn't like them. Sold them locally for $375. Then bought my friend's Altec Madrid's for $350. A much better speak... | |
| 1960 Klipsch Heresy Value I sold a more recent pair for $500 local pickup. The buyer then sold them for $800 + shipping. I didn't want the hassle of shipping them. | |
| Accuphase and B&W 800 series Power is your friend when trying to play music with wide dynamics. No real advantage to Class A over Class A/B. Now both are challenged by the arrival of latest generation Class D amps! | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer Another good reason to own and play CD's - and DVD's! Who knows what processing the music/film data goes through before it's streamed? | |
| Restored Dual vs. Restored Technics I have the 1229 in my collection. An excellent turntable! Keep the Technics! It has better specs. Money saved can go to upgrades as you mentioned. Automatic function of a TT is IMO not important. | |
| Sansui 2020B Turntable or Rek o kut K33H ? I have the K33H in my collection. An excellent belt-drive turntable! USA-built. So one vote for it! | |
| Hooking up tube phone pre to integrated tube amp with a SS phono section. Yes you can! | |
| Help me identify speakers - AR90s? Value and replacement cost? Ugly! Time to get out the paint stripper! Yes they will sound better dynamically with more power. I would sell them and the B & O gear and buy new stuff like a streamer (Wiiim Pro) and powered speakers. | |
| Wegg3 Lunare 3 Pictures please or a link to a website. | |
| Klipsch + NFB: Yea or Nay? Yes for NFB! It is an effective way to lower the output impedance of both tube and transistor amps. Any amp with an output impedance of 1 ohm + will act as a tone control as it tracks a speaker’s impedance curve. Something to be avoided! | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review PRAT is British jargon for "A stupid obnoxious person". The Linn Sondek was proclaimed as being a PRAT champion. Somehow this justifies it's exorbitant price! Legal disclaimer: I have an LP12 in my TT collection - a virgin still without the bs upg... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords "... hospital grade high clamping force outlets are a must." Really? You can hear that too? | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords This thread has gone way off topic with talk about speaker positioning! As if that is going to make one power cord distinguishable from another! Oy ve! |
