| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud So PayPal's fraud prevention stuff isn't really a safeguard? Sadly, no. PayPal offers much more assurance to the buyer than it does to sellers.Too many horror stories to even get started.As a long time seller/buyer, I don't think that I would ac... | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier I have owned 3 Coda amps, 2 preamps, and a phono preamp.Coda is anything BUT neutral, or cool sounding.Yes, Coda was started in the late 80’s by 3 ex-Threshold engineers, and sonically they sound similar to the Threshold and Pass Labs amps that I’... | |
| Audio Research PH7 @tablejockey , +1. I doubt it is the tube, but it won't hurt to try.Sounds like it could be a cold solder joint, as temperature seems to have some affect, or a capacitor. It could have been a weak cap to start with, however, two enemies for caps a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Very possible the Sonist is an easier load and more compatible with SET/SEP amplifiers than the Soliloquy. Very true Charles, though if I recall correctly, Dennis Had had a hand in the development of the Soliloquy line of speakers. I seem to re... | |
| Pass Labs History "likes" winners. @onhwy61 , that is because "History" is written by the winners.Had the British won the Revolutionary war, the South won the Civil war, or Germany won WWII, our history books would be very different, yet the "good guys" ... | |

| Threshold monoblocks Congrats! They sound like they are awesome amps!I have never heard of them, but that doesn't mean that they aren't great amps. Are they German made? | |
| Threshold monoblocks Victorious :);) What does that mean Jouri?Did you wind up with the pair of Threshold SA-10/e mono-block amps? | |
| Should All Power Cables be Alike? @lak , +1. It's all a matter of experimentation, no exact science. Which AC outlet manufacturer do you recommend? Furutech GTD-D NCF(R) | |
| Amp recommendations with a budget of $675 to mate with... The McCormack DNA-0.5 and Aragon 2004 mkII are good amps.Also, you might try to find a used Forte 4/4a amp. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... be sure to replace the wiring in your house and get the utility to rewire back to the sub-station Done, and Done! Best $300K I ever spent!!! | |
