| You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH I worked in a "high end" audio store in the late 70's. SAE earned the nomer Smokes And Explodes. I have several memories of their amps doing the rockets red glare when driven at all hard. Ahh, the good old days. | |
| Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that? I have always liked the British Harvest pressing. SHVL804. A certain purchase when I happen on one. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? David Bromberg "Use Me". Listen to "Blue Is Fallin'". | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It took me some time to decide that I should pay $119.95 FOR A FUSE(!). Well, I have progressed in life to the point that my disposable income has shrunk and retirement has set in. So the days of spending large amounts of money on gear have all bu... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX I was sitting in my living room one day and UPS pulled up. I was waiting for delivery of a tube amplifier and was hoping this was it. It wasn't a large or extremely heavy unit but the driver in his rush took a step out the door of his truck and dr... | |

| Retired audiophile? I too have been retired for a few years now. I have to budget my money carefully but that was a given so it is not a problem. I started in audio in the early 70's and have run the gambit as to equipment. I have kept a list of items purchased for ... | |
| Audioengine A5+ OR Adam Artist5 ??? Just put the A5+ on my desktop this past week. Replaces the A2. More than pleased at the performance. As a computer desktop it is alive, clear, and full-bodied. While I do listen to music from this computer most of my "critical" listening is done ... | |
| William Z Johnson RIP I bought my first ARC unit @1978. As the years have passed and even more gear has passed through, I have found that I always seem to return to Audio Research for my music. I never met the man but I did know him by his work. Thank you Mr. Johnson. | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena Ladok, thanks. I have changed taps. First thing I thought of. Goatwuss,thanks as well. This is a possibility. I will let you know. | |
| Does anyone "throw away" Lp's ? Exactly right on the Goodwill suggestion. Just took about 500 classical to our local store. The only thing I have to be careful of is not buying the darn things again. Give someone else a chance at finding some music. | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena Lacee, thanks for taking the time on your post. A question or 10 if I may...? What is the approximate gain setting on your amp at "average" listening levels? My concern is when using the ARC the gain setting on the preamp reads 70/100 before it re... |
