| Tech That Flopped! I had a time delay unit from the late 70's or early 80's. I'm thinking it was made by ADS. Help me out on this! It was early surround sound. It was a brown unit that used two speakers for rear delay. Does anyone remember this? Joe | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 I'm very fond of my Classe CP500. It meets your criteria. It is a very detailed preamp and is under appreciated and therefor a bargain. The phono is optional. $500.00 if not already in one you may find. I picked one up for $1200.00 without phono a... | |
| Is Classe AUdio no longer??? I owned two CP800 preamps. One from Canada and one from China. I couldn't tell them apart in looks or sound. Joe | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? My first system was from the 1970's. I was in the Army in Germany. We had a dedicated PX that was LOADED with gorgeous receivers. I have a catalogue from that time. It's not in color but it does list all available equipment and prices. Where can I... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Hi dla123, Here's my rule; buy the DAC you want to hear. Because your ears are tuned to your set up, the difference will be clear. Buy the DAC at a price that you can afford to sell it for and not loose much if you want. It's the ON... | |
| Readers Digest Classical Collections should be reissued Now this is the type of post that gets me excited! I never would have thought to look for these LP sets. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend!I'll post back what I find and when. I'm in the Allentown, Pa. area. I hope no ones cleared out our loca... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? My Snell Type B's. Used at $766.00 I heard a pair of $38,000 Magico's the other day. I preferred my Snells! Joe | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple I've never heard of a wife who really cared about speakers except for appearance sake. If a truck pulled up in front of my house with ten sets of speakers, my wife wouldn't say one word. How sweet it is! Joe | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I'm on my third pair of Snell Type B's! | |
| Used Preamp on a budget advice please. No ones mentioned the Classe CP500. I picked one up for $1100.00! It is fabulous. Joe | |
| The value of of the sealed record. The people who pay top dollar for rare records like them sealed. I think they are a different breed than us audiophiles. My first wife was a virgin. Oh boy what a mistake for me! Drive that car before you buy it! | |
| getting into vinyl OK. WHY do you want to get into vinyl? Have you heard turntable set ups that blew you away? Are there titles available only on LP that you can't find on CD? Have people told you that LP's sound better than CD's? For the life of me, this new phase ... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Nobody mentioned "laser rot" which is where the hype started I think. Laser discs(video) that preceded CDs had issues due to poor manufacturing. Impurities in between the layers caused deterioration that rendered the discs unplayable. The big culp... | |
| Do I need a power conditioner? Once, early on I had a rig set up for getting high quality CDR's from LP's. I had no power filters of any kind. When playing back the CDR, there was noise in the sound field of the CDR. I could almost hear a faint radio station. I had a "noise sni... | |
| Resale value of new speakers Another option is to contact a third party adjuster. This can be a headache BUT, it won't cost you to talk to them. They intercede on your behalf. They also take 35% off the top. That sounds like highway robbery. I used one such company once and I... |
