| Amp design logic As Minor1 has stated, there are many who have failed in this business. Many times that is due to cutting their margins too thin, or under-estimating their "true" costs. Trying to make something that is "too good of a deal" is a good way to go out ... | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? Minor1, you say that leaving equipment on all the time will shorten equipment life. Do you have proof of this or is this just your theory?I ask because I know some capacitor manufacturers who recommend cycling (turning equipment on/off) to help sp... | |
| Amp design logic What's the difference between a $2.4 million Bugatti Veyron and a $12,000 Chevrolet Aveo? They both get you from point A to point B.I guess it's just a good thing that you are not asking about the REALLY expensive amplifiers. Sheesh.... | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s Yeah, I saw your other post on that. There is no doubt that when chasing the ever ellusive "absolute sound", the laws of diminshing returns hit early and hard in cartridges. I won't say more so in cartridges than in other areas, but I've been ther... | |
| NY Times articles about turntables Yeah Raquel, LOL, you had me laughing too. Great line. | |
| Great Amp Suggestion for Aesthetix Calypso BTW, I have no affiliation with the seller and I forgot to mention, I love your moniker Barfbag!! | |
| NY Times articles about turntables The cartridge is mounted on the end of the tonearm and holds the stylus, or needle. The stylus is where everything happens, said Michael Pettersen, director of applications engineering for Shure, which makes cartridges. When you buy a $100 cart... | |
| NY Times articles about turntables Here's a quick link to make it easier to view. | |
| Kontrapunkt C vs H We usually can't upgrade everything we want to all at once. That being said, you just upgraded your phono stage, why don't you just live with your Denon until you can afford a Lyra or ZYX? Is it that bad? If so, are you sure you have it set up cor... | |
| Great Amp Suggestion for Aesthetix Calypso I'd take a swing at this Coda System 100, you may be able to get it for $2500. Coda makes great amps, but are relatively unknown. They don't spend a lot of money on advertising. I'm currently running a Model 11, which is sort of like a System 100,... | |
| My son.... Best Buys should be able to take care of him. They have a decent selection of HT gear in their Magnolia section. | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s 04-19-12: GandmeThe question I have now...does it de-value the cart. by not having Dynavector do the repair?Will the Soundsmith repair cost me more than just the repair?Sorry to say, but my guess would be yes, the repair will cost you more than ju... | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend Very sorry to read about this tragic news. Paul was a valuable member of the AudiogoN family and will be greatly missed. RIP Paul. | |
| Another what preamp to get thread If you are looking for a warm tube preamp you should steer clear of ARC. Look at Conrad Johnson or Cary. | |
| How long daes it take your gear to warm up? In general I find tube gear sounds best after 1-2 hours. SS gear I leave on 24/7 unless it is a Class A power amp. Though I do admit that when I run track 7 on the Ayre/Cardas burn in disc, the rig sounds pretty damn good within 20-30 minutes.Pete... |
