| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps Well, on the Ampzilla 2000, don't go to the SAE website and suggest you think its ugly, as your heritage, your manhood/womanhood, heritage, taste and upbringing will be brought into question in an attempt to leave it forever smarting. | |
| Your Opinions on HK Citation II, AR tube amp, more Citation II great piece, has something of a cult following and is a very good amp. 350b, I own one, it is the greatest bargain in tuners today, my opinion. If I am listening to FM to really listen, it is the tuner I turn on, it takes a 10b or MR71... | |
| Inherited a Linn-How can I tell what I've got????? 1st, write or call Linn, with the serial # they can tell you what production run it is. I also have a friend in Memphis that has been trained at the factory and does setups for Linn, let me know iand I will ask him to help you. For shipping contac... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 I don't know that I would be using them for the front channels, you of course will do what you want, but I think the would be far better as sides or rears to give you that illusion of being surrounded. I have difficulty with the idea of 901's bein... | |
| Recycling old designs ??? I don't know if you would call it "recycling" old designs as much as I hope taking a new approach to old designs. I really don't think too many should be surprised by some of these design ideas resurgences. You talk about it from the 70's, I had a... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 OK, 1st, doing the surrounds on these is a lot harder than it looks, in my opinion. I do a fair amount of surrounds, I say the larger ones are easier to do, far easier. I am currently doing a set of 901's for a guy that got "frustrated" and made a... | |
| Snell Type A- any info?????? Worth $100? Jeez, oh yes, if they are in good shape, even if they are the originals, butthey are later than that and should state so on the back, or if that is gone you can usuually pull one of the drivers and date them from a stamp on the magnet.... | |
| MOST tubelike solid state amp May I suggest you listen to a solid state amp from the masters of the tube, Audio Research? Plenty out there used, and they share many of the qualities that they also build into their tube amps. No, don't have all of the snob or I am different app... | |
| B&O Beomaster 8000 Is worth it if you need sound, any # of products sound better for the money if you are buying, but if you have it setting there, I would fire it up. Can always post it, sell it and get a good small int. amp. Was a time I would have loved to have it. | |
| Yamaha Tuners Not meaning to disagree with anyone, but there is a lot of difference between the T1(365 new) and the T2(750 new), T2 being the most desireable of the 2. go to http://www.geocities.com/tunerinfoto read more about tuneres in general, they do a nice... | |
| 8 Gauge Speaker Cable Thanks Bomarc, had me worried. I am still worried, just not as much. | |
| Are "Used" Revel Studios worth the money?? And hopefully, with a modicum of luck, I will get to hear Mike1diver setup in a few days. He is a nice guy and definitely talking straight. More audio here in TN than you could believe. | |
| 8 Gauge Speaker Cable After monitoring this rather long open forum on speaker cable runs, would some one please write and assure me that this is not for the rear channels of a Bose AcoustiMass System? Thanks so much | |
| Infinity Column II's Wow going way back, and making me feel old, those are Walsh tweeters on the top or it, of Ohm fame. I used to have a pair of 2000AXT's(pretty much a lowboy version) that I used to pop the tweeter on and would have to rewind. Great cabinets, not a ... | |
| What speakers for an old Nakamichi receiver Great response followed mine, far better, really. The Maggies or the B&W would shine and allow for growth, and save a bunch of money, and Sean is right about the older Genesis, some of those are very good loudspeakers, even by todays standards... |
