| Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old? JC, it's funny you should mention that. There was a pair of Model 6's sitting on Audiogon for almost a month. They must have just sold or the ad expired. The guy was asking $3500 for the pair. I was watching closely, especially because the seller ... | |
| Tax return burning a hole in my pocket I don't think you could go wrong either way, but I will side with Elizabeth. I think her argument makes a lot of sense. You may find a burst and clean 100 LP's or so, but then you'll fall behind again. T_H_E___A_R_M is something you use ALL the time. | |
| market value of my gears Just in case your are serious here is a link to the Orion bluebook. It is a service that you will have to pay to use. Also, as has been previously mentioned, conditon and original packing and manuals will also have a lot to do with the values of t... | |
| Classè Six vs ARC LS7 Personally, tubes have ruined me. I owned a Classe CP-60 about 15 years ago and enjoyed it. However, then I started dabbling with tubes. I wound up owning many high end tube preamps and amps. About a year ago I started to build a modest system aga... | |
| Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old? You have good tastes Nightfall, I agree that JRDG's Model 6 monblocks were the best SS amps I have ever owned. I also owned a Model 2 as Danielk141 talks about, and I preffered them without the battery packs. I agree that the price for the pair on... | |
| change to ARC Dac 7? Unfortunately, these are questions only you can answer. We all know about the laws of diminishing returns in this hobby. How much money you are willing to spend chasing incremental benefits is solely up to you. Sorry. | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords @Audiolabyrinth, have you heard Stealth Audio cables? Sakra, Indra, Dream? I ask because they share some similar sonic attributes with Tara Labs cables, IMHO. | |
| Confused........... Zd542's reco's are pretty good, but I'd keep my eye out for a Jeff Rowland Concentra II integrated amp if I were in your situation. | |
| Cables more hype than value? 02-17-13: Rok2idBTW, no one is required to read my posts.Well said!! There, you see, if you read through enough of your rants and diatribes, you can find something of value. | |
| Cables more hype than value? 02-17-13: Rok2idDid you read the two post I submitted?Yes, I did, and quite frankly, they wreak of bitterness and jealousy. If you are content with your $69 Timex, relax and enjoy life. Don't fret and blow up when others say their Tag Heuer's and ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Rok2id, I agree with Zd542 here, you come off sounding like you have an ax to grind. Maybe you should go back on your meds, or at least stay away from Audiogon threads if they agitate you that much.I was reading an article yesterday about Rafael N... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Everything in audio is more hype than value, including cables.If that doesn't answer your question Tobb, Schipo will be along shortly to give you the straight scoop ;) | |
| Sound staging; Sepertaes Vs. Integrated I don't know the technical reason, maybe something to do with the larger power supplies that seperate chassis' can give you. I have noticed this effect going even further, switching from a stereo amp to monoblock amps as well. I can't explain this... | |
| Advice +1 to what Zd542 said. If it 'sounds great', walk away and spend your money elsewhere.The law of diminishing returns hits early and hard in this hobby. You could spend a fortune chasing the ever elusive 'absolute sound', or you could just be happy... | |
| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear 02-16-13: Schipo01-28-13: Jmcgrogan2Because I believe in an actual science of acoustics. I must despise this hobby? You sir are a naive idiot. Who in your ignorance believes in not a truth but what you consider the truth. It's your dough spend it ... |
