| Soliciting Member Perspectives: Levinson vs Bryston vs Audio Research OldManDave, our friend clearthink starts a lot of his post by putting down our questions and/or equipment others are asking about. But he/she never goes on to offer his/her recommendations as if afraid to give an opinion or that we won't respect ... | |
| Speakers I have a special place for Sansui receivers. This is almost going to sound like a joke, but back in the day I purchased from an ad a Sansui receiver along with a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers that had 12" woofers for an enclosed patio when I lived... | |
| Conrad Johnson preamp: ET5, ET7 (series 1 or 2) or ET3SE ?? Hi clearthink, the question is "Conrad Johnson preamp: ET5, ET7 (series 1 or 2) or ET3SE ??"Your answer is that Conrad Johnson gear is a band aid brand to fix the damage caused by digital playback. Would you mind providing what gear you would reco... | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? One comment, one question.Comment, if all a dealer/manufacturer needs to do is request that a thread that is negative to them be removed, what businessman would not do it, it makes no sense not to.Question, Elizabeth's experience with the upside d... | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests I think that the bulb will burn brighter if it is croyed and both the bulb metallic threads and the light socket are pasted with TC to prevent micro arching. | |
| Does anyone have a good recommendation for the best quality home theater platform? My takeaway from Last of the Mohicans is that having a tomahawk in my skull is on my list of least favorable ways of dying. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Well thanks medwardo and jahatl, you have both convinced me that the XA25 is not worth the investment. Well that's totally not true, and in time I feel I will be purchasing one, but not for a little while yet. Enjoy the Pass, and its all fun. G... | |
| Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable I tried to look up whether oscillation can occur and have no sound impact on your speakers. Things got very technical, very quickly. I believe what I am reading is that the oscillation can result and impact only the sound that is above our heari... | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? It is a beautiful amplifier with its Bat Cave looks which I like, and it does seem to garner rave reviews. I see why you want one as I am sure I would like it too, I just didn't have any idea of the negatives until you brought them up. | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Celander, sorry to hear about your friend. | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers n80 thanks for the picture, now I got you on the hex nuts and as an aside I guess live a sheltered audio life and cannot believe how thick your speaker cables are to the connectors. Mine are that thick except about 6 or 8 inches from the connecto... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I have never heard a Pass amp. But I wish someone would come up with some serious weak points so I won't feel I absolutely have to have a XA25. | |
| Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable ketchup, I hate to sound like a broken record, but I guess I am. Why don't you want to install the zobels on the speakers anyway?. They say there is absolutely no impact on the sound, and could prevent damage to your amp that may be occurring sl... | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers Hi fast, the reason I asked about the front end at the dealer when you were first impressed with the Ref 5 is that I would have gone the easy path of just buying the same gear. Regarding Audio Doctor, I called them and spoke with Dave, making it c... | |
| Hey That's Not So Bad if It's Class D I wish my Samsung put out about twice the volume that it does. I consider this a huge weakness and am glad my stereo is integrated with it. |
