Funny and clever Axpona Ad Lol Michael! They are all the same.....or maybe, we are all the same....gasp! | |
Has biwire speaker cabling become "old" ? 03-22-15: Jl35Does having the second set of terminals and then using a jumper, degrade the performance you would get from a single terminal/single cable?That's hard to say, since I've never heard any speakers that offer both options, single pair o... | |
sound-Smith VPI Counter Intuitive I agree that the Counter Intuitive is a no-brainer for a VPI arm. It is one of the best bang for the buck tweaks I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot. It makes fine tuning Azimuth and VTF so easy. | |
Funny and clever Axpona Ad Very funny, thanks Mofi, and Al. I showed my wife the Axpona ad, and her response was "Yeah, that's about right". She knew he was going to go after the speakers right from the start. LOL! | |
Turntable Setup by Ear? 03-20-15: Thegoldenearso far i have had better success after a day of doing it by ear than 2 years using tools, Well, maybe you really do have "The Golden Ear", or maybe, you just have the wrong tools, and/or don't know how to use the tools. | |
VPI Scout 1.1 Cartridge Recommendation It looks like the phono stage in your McIntosh C2300 has 60 dB of gain. That should be plenty for most LOMC's.Most popular choices for VPI tables are Dynavectors, Lyras, or Sumiko. I've run all of these, and tend to lean towards the Dynavectors. O... | |
Is revealing always good? I think the problem is people's idea of what the word "revealing" actually means. I know many folks who feel that revealing equipment/cables, are those that highlight the upper frequencies, and thereby seem to offer more resolution. This makes for... | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Sabai, change I can relate to. My system changes so much over the years that I gave up trying to post a systems page many years ago.After having heard so much different gear and cables I realize that there is no good or bad, it's just about synerg... | |
Audio Research D-115 half tube install question I think it sounds like a bad idea too. I would definitely contact Audio Research before removing any tubes. | |
Has biwire speaker cabling become "old" ? 03-20-15: RjaFunny thing, my Dunlavy speakers have bi-wire terminals. If he didn't believe in them why did he put them on his speakers?Speaker designers do this for many reasons. Bi-amping is a higher priority reason that speaker manufacturers use... | |
Is my preamp useless? Yes, your preamp is absolutely useless. Just send it to me and I will dispose of it properly for you, free of charge. ;^)Cheers,John | |
Old Audiophile can still be blown away I also enjoy the Psvane tubes, though I have not heard the 300B's. I have used their 12AX7's, CV-181's (6SN7's), and KT88's, all TII series, all have performed exceptionally well. | |
Turntable Setup by Ear? I did back in the 70's and 80's, with much less expensive gear. Nowadays I always use a protractor and Digital scale, though I still setup VTA by ear. | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Sabai,Are you still being humorous or are you serious? I have to admit that I have a hard time reading when/if you are joking, and when/if you are being serious.Yes, many things can be posted on the internet, good and bad. There is propaganda all ... | |
Has biwire speaker cabling become "old" ? Audiophiles are a fickle bunch, things become popular, then lose popularity, then cycle back around again. I've biwried, and not biwired, they both work. The biwire does sound good, but for me, at this point in time, I'm having more success runnin... |
