| Theta Dreadnaught amp is it just a HT amp or music Designed by Dave Reich, I'm not surprised it's musical. Dave was the original designer at Classe Audio, I spoke with him and he mentioned he was very pleased with the way the Dreadnaught turned out. If I was serious about HT or wanted an all-in-on... | |
| No Sellers willing to do COD anymore??? I won't do COD on principle, and being in Canada can't do COD with American buyers/sellers anyway. I make sure my ads are very accurate when I post the item for sale, and usually provide a digital pic to the buyer as well. I make sure I get to kno... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? BATVK500 ss amp, BATVK30 tubed preamp. I'm too busy, lazy, and cheap to consider a tubed amplifier | |
| looking for rca to XLR Cable There's Showcase audio dealer here on AudioGon, Quest for Sound, that will make you a cable. Get in touch with Stephen and let him know the length required, you'll have the Phoenix Gold cable within a few days. Cost effective, and Stephen is a hel... | |
| Isolated Ground electrical outlets ??? I've tried running a ground wire from the plug to a grounding clamp on a cold water pipe. Did nothing for the sound at all, I suspect you'd be better off with a ground rod buried in your yard, 4' deep and run a "star ground" off that. If you go wi... | |
| Where to get spikes for Apogee Cephus 6's? Help Thanks all, I checked out the websites. According to the data I need 1.5" spikes, not sure whether the threads are 3/8"-16 or 1/4"-20, I'll figure that out shortly. The Audiopoints at $25 a copy would cost me $200. Are there any less expensive thr... | |
| Tone controls to get bass from small speakers? My Linn Classik has tone controls, and they do help some. I tilted the bass up a notch or two with my ProAc Tablette 2000's and there was audible benefit in doing so. Bear in mind, this system is used in a 8 x 10 room with the music played at low ... | |
| What can come after Apogee Divas? Why not scour the for sale ads on the 'net and buy another pair of Divas in the U.S.? They do come up for sale every now and then. Better yet, post a wanted ad and see if you get any response, generally wanted ads do work. You were happy with them... | |
| Notable Liner Notes...? Parrot,April Wine printed "Play Loud" in the center of one their LP's. Can't for the life of me remember what the title of the LP is though. It'll come to me | |
| Vantage Cables From U. K . Very impressive Not all cables get their fair share of press, I suspect marketing budgets dictate whether a cable company becomes a recognized and valued brand. As you say..."the buzz". I came across Maple Audio Works interconnects from Alberta, Canada. Smooth, d... | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling To renew my faith in AudioGon I posted a Grado headphone amp for sale today, surely something that weighs 2lbs (amp and shipping material) won't dissuade anyone from buying from afar. Love the forums, even if I'm not buying or selling anything! | |
| Turntable upgrade: What to do? Those who "drank the Ivor Koolaid" tend to feel the LP12 is the best analog rig to be had. I suspect you'll get many people who feel you can do better than the LP12. I've played around with many 'tables and IMO the Oracles and VPI's are superior t... | |
| Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines? Some people leave the ad running until they receive the cash from the "committed" buyer. It's all too common for people to reneg, deleting the ad means having to re-post again when the orginal buyer backs out. Altering the ad so it sez "sale pendi... | |
| What's inside these aluminum/metal cases? Brian, the Xilinx device is a relatively large square integrated circuit towards the middle back of the ML amp. Xilinx makes chips that are essentially black boxes, you write your own code and add intelligence to your design. the code is held in a... | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... I remain very biased when it comes to my analog front ends. Oracle made some awesome 'tables, if you can find a Delphi Mark IV or Mark V, buy it. Best, Jeff |
