| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? I avoid watching these YouTube clips! Sound quality is anybody's guess! | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? I bought a Marantz 2235 from an eBay seller. $130 with free shipping! Another eBay bargain for me was the BEL 1001 amp for $525 from the original owner. Sold new for $3K in 1982. The Brown Electronic Lab amps are still competitive with today's fiv... | |
| What's up with the price of Vintage equipment? @deadhead1000 : can you provide examples of old gear that you consider overpriced? | |
| Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences Cable burn-in indeed! Might as well claim those led lightbulbs give a "purer" light after being in use for a few hundred hours! | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" @wizzzard : thank you for your reply to my question! I have been suspicious of the claims by LAST since their appearance decades back. I will stick to cleaning my styli using Magic Erasure. Also A.J.van den Hul recommended using some vodka on a fi... | |
| Why are there no newer clip-on headphones? Monoprice had a pair of clip-ons that got very good reviews. They cost $200-$300. | |
| Just joined 😁 A study of the tracing geometry shows that this type of pivoted arm will have much higher tracking distortion. No thanks! | |
| Some new E-bay scams Will Vincent is a good and decent person who does not deserve this treatment from corporate bureaucracies. Six years ago I lost $850 sent to an eBay seller for a pair of JBL 65 speakers. They were not sent and I never received a refund. Neither eB... | |
| Hybrid amplifiers Ss/tube, any good? George Kaye's New York Audio Labs made excellent hybrid amps! Tube front ends with MOSFET output stages. I have the 75wpc Moscode 150 in my amp collection. Check the Stereophile archives for a review of the Moscode 300. | |
| High end speakers at low volume Don't forget the latest Quad ESL's! They excel at low-level listening! Once heard they make quite an impression for sheer naturalness! | |
| low frequencies Yes, place both speakers against the wall. This offers the best and most even bass. It is called the Allison effect. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Agon member vonhelmholtz didn't like the Audiolab 6000CDT, while member creativepart did. Two subjective impressions based upon how a particular transport sounded in two dissimilar systems. Not good enough to stand up in a court of law! | |
| Interesting AMP GTG Results. An old thread - but it illustrates the problem of amp comparisons done without careful level matching. Ad hoc conclusions mean little! | |
| Will Vincent ST-70 Tube Amp Will built me a SET 45 amp on a Dynaco chassis that is superb! Beautiful gloss white powder coat finish, two C6C pentodes to drive the pair of 45's and a 5V4 rectifier. A first-rate SE DHT amp! | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? The Moody Blues "Legend of a Mind"! Timothy Leary's dead! No he's not! He's outside looking in! Clear Light blotter will do the trick! |
