| Threshold T200? $1400 is a bit high for a T200, IMHO. I'll bet you can knock at least $200 off the price. AgoN bluebook values are not always a very good measuring stick.As for the new Threshold rebuilds, they change all the transistors from the IGBT's to regular... | |
| Threshold T200? I owned a T400 several years ago. It was a fantastic sounding amp. My only concern would be the output transistors. In the T series amps Threshold used IGBT output transistors, which are now obsolete. So if one of the transistors should bite the d... | |
| Classe Amps I've owned Classe amps ande heard many Krell amps (though I wouldn't buy one). I'll take a Classe amp over a Krell amp anyday of the week. YMMV.Cheers,John | |
| member system photos??? Some of us have a wife!'Nuff said?!What!!!??? My God, that's the ultimate system killer!!!!My wife made me put my $100K+ system in one corner of the basement.............the horror.....the horror.......the horror............Cheers,John :-) | |
| "Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there?????? Absolutely! I went through a serious 'downsizing' myself several months ago. My current integrated list for 25% of the price of my seperates. I have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised at the performance of my integrated.My system is now less c... | |
| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE Dv-60 same Pioneer drive as dv50I heard that the DV-60 drive is now Esoteric based vs. the Pioneer drive of the DV-50. Have I heard wrong?Cheers,John | |
| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE Isn't it annoying that posting to a thread is the only way to subscribe?Not true. By clicking on the asterisk in the upper right hand corner you can add it to your bookmarks and follow it without commenting.Actually, I own a DV-50s, and the DV-60 ... | |
| Advice about warm, gentle speakers... I would recommend that you give a pair of Verity Audio Tamino X3 Loudspeakers a listen.I've owned Sonus Faber and Vienna Acoustics, and yes, they are sweet, warm speakers. However, my current Verity Audio Parsifal Encore's are in another league en... | |
| How do you clean CD/DVDs ? Mine comes complete with an electric drill and a beach towel for only $359I'm sure I could come out with a scaled down Standard version for $349. However, the Deluxe version ( $495 ) will get you cd's cleaner, with it's more powerful motor. The De... | |
| How do you clean CD/DVDs ? These are all good answers but I'm stumped about why no machines?I'll start working on one tonight. Thanks for bringing up this maketing niche oversight. ;-)BTW, how does $495 sound for a pricepoint?Cheers,John | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Easy now Paul. That 2286 lbs/pair is shipping weight. I'm sure they are absolutely svelte when you take the X-2's out of their crates. :-)John | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise How about the Montana WAS at 520 pounds each?The approximate shipping weight for a pair of Wilson Alexandria X-2's is 2,286 pounds.These are way too heavy for me. In fact, as I've gotten older, I've found myself gravitating towards lighter speaker... | |
| VAC Phono in Avatar Super The VAC step up is $600. Have you tested the phono tubes? Could possibly have a noisy tube in the phono stage. If the tube is not the problem, the step up would probably lower the noise floor.Regards,John | |
| Loudness of TV Commercials To 'grab your attention', perhaps?It is very annoying though. | |
| DK Design Review I think all the DK bashers in this thread are crippled by fear in the face of greatness. Audioari1 ROTFLMAO!! I have to hand it to you Audioari1, at least you provide some comic relief, if nothing else. That's the best laugh I've had in awhile. Yo... |
