Mcintosh MQ112
I have the Schiit Lokius that cost $300.  It is not remote control but I have it in the tape loop of my preamp which is RC.  So I can use the preamp RC to have it equalizing the sound or not with the push of a button.  But I cannot adjust the band... 
Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers.
The price increase was obviously necessary because SF speakers are being upgraded with higher quality Bose speaker drivers and crossovers. Ha, ha  
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@immatthewj  Unfortunately, they also say to subtract 12 years for those of us who enjoy an alcohol beverage or two.  So 79-12 equals 67.   I better go see the doctor, I may be dead already.    
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@abnerjack  It seems that @mahgister or one of his enablers/apologists objected to my post and  some others and went crying to Mommy about their maltreatment.  @mahgister won’t admit to it and if he didn’t do it no one else will admit to it eith... 
How large (or small) is the audiophile market?
@gano  But we all/mostly all agree that you are ruining these conversations by constantly berating people.  @cleeds  Gee, you’d think the moderators would have noticed such behavior. How did they miss it?  Perhaps you should alert them. Or, ... 
Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series
@gfguimaraes  It's a long shot, but before buying anything I would contact Bill at Millersound.  He is a premier speaker repair person. All he can say is he doesn't repair diamond tweeters.  He does list B&W as a brand they do service.  From... 
Can using a bad tube hurt an amplifier?
@emergingsoul  Which tube amp do you own or are considering purchasing? When you mention "and then voltage changes over time gradually" are you referring to tubes going out of bias or actual voltage changes from the power grid?  If the former, i... 
Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?
  Odyssey has been in business for 36 years so if there have been significant ongoing and widespread problems we would’ve certainly heard from many more people here over those many years, and it just strains credibility to think otherwise I ca... 
Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence
@jsalerno277  The primary message of my post was to let @andy2 know that he would probably obtain the most on point recommendations from the "Thiel Owners" thread, here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-owners-2?highlight=Thiel%2BOwner... 
Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence
It's a bit confusing as I've always heard that thiels required careful setup as they tended to have a hot top end if not careful. There is a thread entitled "Thiel Owners" which has been running forever with about 14,000 posts under the "speakers... 
No preamp in system
RV, Please don't bother, I am not electronics savvy and wouldn't understand anyway.  Sounds like you are good to go for years ahead.  Again, just glad everything worked out well.       
No preamp in system
RV, sorry, my question was not worded correctly.  I was curious what was the component of your preamp that had to be replaced that caused your preamp to not work correctly? Not my business anyway, just curiosity and again glad you are back up and... 
No preamp in system
A great end result!  Glad everything worked out so well. By the way, I may have missed it, what was causing your problem with the preamp?  
NOS EL34 becoming extinct
For EL 34s I have used and still have NOS mullards, jj's, winged c's, NOS telefunkens, and two or three other brands I don't remember. Once I purchased Gold Lion KT77's from Upscale Audio I never needed another brand of tube.  They are dependable... 
Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio
After 41 years in business and as you can see by the stellar reviews above and BBB rating of A+ I don't think they will be changing their name anytime soon. From my personal experience with them, I feel more comfortable dealing with them than jus...
