| 1st Post - Semi Vintage vs. New Oh man, with those speakers efficiency rating (100dB), I'd sell the Adcom separates and look for a nice SET integrated amp!! Something like a Cary CAD-300 SEI would make you forget all about the Adcom gear. | |
| Need help selecting a preamp under $1500 You just missed out. I just sold a VAC Auricle preamp w/ MM phono stage for $1000. I don't think that could be beaten by anything under $2000 (maybe even under $3000). Keep a look out, they are very hard to find, but well worth the investment, IMH... | |
| Alternate Power Tubes for a Cary V12R 04-22-13: Grimace...but they can't overcome a screaming baby. Duct tape will resolve that issue. ;) | |
| Audio Kharma website 04-23-13: MusicpodI'm perplexed as to why so many posters would spend time exerting so much negative energy towards Audio Karma. Why is this so important that its worth your time to post the negative?Not so many posters are posting negative energy... | |
| Lyra Delos Are you tracking between 1.7-1.8 grams? Is the VTA set properly? Lyra recommends 20 degree.I don't think that the paper touching the record will do any damage, but to me, it is a concern that either the cartridge is not set up properly or is not f... | |
| Audio Kharma website 04-22-13: PhaelonThis thread reminds me of one of those mean girl movies... without the sexy mean girls.LOL!! The funniest and most poignant post yet!! | |
| I was Tempted I'm looking at $42.99 for 2 LP's & a CD at Music Direct. That sounds interesting to me. I really enjoy Eva, and that price doesn't seem outrageous compared to some of the prices I've seen. | |
| What are these worth? Congrats Dlp600, you made out very well!! | |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel You don't need to wait for your Acoustic Zen cable to come back to perform this testing. You can use Radio Shack speaker cable ($5-$10), or even some plain old lamp cord for the sake of trouble-shooting.Why would you not install the speaker spikes... | |
| What are these worth? They will sell on auction, but not for $300 a piece. You never know though, P.T. Barnum did say that there is a sucker born every minute, and some of us have been known to over-pay for cables and cords, so anything is possible!!Hell, List them for... | |
| Cables more hype than value? 04-21-13: Old_6eyesAnd companies that sell high-priced cables aren't doing the same thing?I never said that, cable companies play the same game. My point was why take one used car salesman's word with higher regard than the other used car salesman... | |
| Lyra Delos The paper's purpose is to keep dirt and grunge out of the coils. Check your VTF, if it is too high, lower the VTF. If you are still in the allotted range, then it sounds like your suspension may be breaking down. It could be time for a re-build. H... | |
| Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam , Congrats Grey9hound!! Keep us posted!! | |
| 25.00 flat rate shipping 04-19-13: MarkpaoSounds like they want to get rid of the garage sale stuff.Just like everything else in our society, catering to the wealthy. The old system, which is still around, is $4 and 2% of sale, up to $100. Which means that the big players... | |
| best tube preamp under a 1000 for B&K 200 sonatas? A nice used Quicksilver Line Stage would probably fill the bill nicely. |
