| Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955 By all means, consider having a good electrician rewire your house for more than one reason. For starters, people who lived in your house before you may have tinkered with fixing and wiring themselves. I've seen Teflon wire used to run a "new" fix... | |
| Integrated amp for Legacy Focus speakers Be aware that if you buy a Modwright amp used, there is NO warranty! I'm running the Benchmark AHB2. I'm happy with them. Good luck. Joe | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used FYI, I'm one of them! | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Asking other people to pick out a speaker for you is akin to asking us to find a girlfriend for you. Speaker choice is more personal than any other component. You really need to go to an audio show and listen for yourself. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Maybe I'll add to your woes here. 50% depreciation someone said? That's if you're lucky. Many or most speakers won't fetch 25% of their retail price. The audio market is as finicky and fickle as any. If a manufacturer goes out of business and your... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier There is a chance that it is a legitimate sale. If the box was destroyed, it could have gone to claims. The damaged or "lost" goods get sold at auction and the new owner can do what they want with it. Don't approach the situation with an accusator... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? This is the difference between an Audiophile and a music lover. Music first for me. Now I can't take most bootlegs shows that used to be at so many record shows. Anyone who refuses to listen to a concert because it's subpar quality is more in love... | |
| Solid State Power Amps Benchmark AHB2. They will shock you. Read the reviews and check it out! Good luck. Joe | |
| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address It sounds like you have a love hate relationship with YG. Get a divorce. | |
| Help me understand the current amp market I love my Benchmark AHB2 monoblocks. You'll never get a hernia lifting them either! | |
| Still the demons of GAS pursue me popular thinking in the 70's was "the more gear you can feed the signal though, the better". Guys used to drool over the rack mounted components. Some of that equipment still commands a fair dollar. I see the Pioneer SX1250 with an asking price of... | |
| I need a recommendation on Class D amp The Benchmark AHB2 isn't a Class D amp BUT, it gives you everything you want in a class D and more. I just bought two of them. Very impressive. Check it out! | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player There are many treads about Esoteric players having this problem. The thing with Esoteric is, they need to go back to Japan for service. They have an alignment jig that only the factory has. Maybe Marantz is in the same boat???? | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I've said for years "Someone needs to build great electronics at reasonable prices". Benchmark has joined that small group of achievers. It makes a lot of sense to me that they are primarily a pro audio manufacturer. I own a AHB2. I am smitten wi... | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I'm going because my girlfriends brother lives in Chicago. It'll be two birds with one stone |
