| Klipsch Speakers OP, Here are my old Forte IIIs paired with tubes in a nearly empty music room (before decoration a few years back). yes it’s YouTube but you should be able to get how splendid they can sound. By the way turn up the volume to hear the grea... | |
| Klipsch Speakers OP, thanks for giving us more information. I am on the side that thinks you should be able to rectify the situation. I’ve powered Forte IIIs and CWIVs with many different amps. They are sensitive to amp pairing and source. The Naim pairing st... | |
| PSB T600 Synchrony - impressions I’ve owned PSB Imagine T3 and T2 speakers. Nothing about them was cheap. I examined the crossover network and was impressed. The former flagship T3 was a wonderful speaker—so much so that I occasionally think of scooping up a used pair. I’d expe... | |
| Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind? I agree 100% regarding ASR getting too much airtime, it’s lack of usefulness, and the awkward cultish pile on by its forum guests. ASR’s refusal to listen to gear while making an “objective” approval or disapproval of a unit is absurdity. I don’... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Great thread with open minded and insightful comments. I had to do it! I just bought one of these amps. I’ll be posting about it once it arrives and I can break it in. I’ll most likely upgrade some critical film caps. I’d like to examine the filt... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 Thanks @jjss49 ! I took a summer hiatus from my hifi obsession, listing only once per week--which is rare. I used the time to hit the woodshed and get my fingerstyle guitar skills back to where they should be. It saved me some component jumping... | |
| Marantz Ruby PM KI amp vs Accuphase e-480 or e-380 I've had 2 REL subs linked to my Ruby's speaker binding posts for a year or so with no issues. Sounds wonderful. Also, I have played around with tons of amps on extended basis. This amp is an exceptional performer. It is a reference level piece ... | |
| Early Impressions of Lab12 Integre4 @OP, Great write up! I'm curious about LAB12 products. I owned a Prima Luna Dialogue HP Integrated too. | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? Another thing, the recommendation on an AudioTechnica ART9 is a great one. I've owned that cartridge. I'm not an expert as I haven't heard tons of cartridges over $1k. Yet from the stuff I've owned or have solid first hand experience with I can ... | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? Whoops! Sorry. Poor choice of words. You folks are sticklers. My cantilever just came off and I didn't recall ever misusing it. But, because I"m honest I contacted Benz and ask if they could inspect it to see if it was my fault or if it failed ea... | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? @paulgardner I have purchased 2 carts from Kron in the last 2 years or so. Kiseki Purpleheart and a Benz Micro LPS. The seller is honest, reputable, and ships incredibly fast. I received both of these items in two or three days maximum from his... | |
| Klipsch Speakers @silverfoxvtx1800 , Thanks for telling us about your system. The Forte IV is a pretty great speaker. Before I would move on and conclude it's not your taste, I'd try a different front end amp and possibly source. Like @mrmojo above, I have t... | |
| Klipsch Speakers @silverfoxvtx1800 , Can you tell us about your system components, room, and listening preferences? | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? There’s some intentional irony in the thread. I also agree that LZ stole and borrowed but always advanced their own view and soundscape. GVF sound like they are imitating too much in my humble perspective. I’d like them more if they had more of t... | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes You may like Nationals made in India with Mullard tooling, I believe. |
