Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? I guess it depends on your amp as to what would work best. if you are considering a higher efficiency bookshelf, try the Triangle. I think it runs about $9k. | |
From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? I am a 300b tube guy and chose the AER-BD3 drivers made in Germany. Highly efficient with the ability to reach very high. The cabinet makes a big difference and both AER and Charney make creative cabinetry to match. I also use REL subs with this... | |
WHICH POWER CONDITIONER IS BETTER PASSIVE OR ACTIVE WITH ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS Doesn’t any device that galvanically isolates the current prevent all noise? That’s why so may manufacturers use galvanic isolation in their circuits to clean data feeds. Seems to me that between galvanic isolation and the use of a filter and ca... | |
I feel for you I’m sort of like Benjamin Button and getting life backwards. Yes, I’m well into my late 70’s. I didn’t major in math or electronics. So what better to do than to refute old age? I completed the online MIT electronics course just so I could be ... | |
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers Sometimes you don’t appreciate what you have. My wife, a divorce attorney, told m to get new speakers (Charney with AER-BD3). I guess I’m keeping her until the end. | |
Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I’d recommend a custom built tube amp from Tube Audio Labs in Iowa. I have a 300b from them and it fits your budget. | |
Starting my showroom again I’m a little late on commenting but bring something different to the table: like a listening bar-folks can stop in for drinks, bar food and get hooked on HiFi. | |
??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? When I visit HiFi stores in the LA basin, I ask the consultants not to tell me the price of any of their rooms. I sit and listen and then try to figure out what I like and what is unacceptable. To my ears, tube amplifiers still sound the best, e... | |
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! A lot of pent up humor released on me all at once. it’s too much. I’ll have to be a cheerful old F all day. | |
Phono preamp or SUT for low output moving coil I feel like I just dropped into MIT for a class in electronics when I belong in a community college class for basic electricity. My head is spinning from all of your knowledge. I’ve just recently decided to go back to vinyl and all of your comme... | |
Do speakers need to be re-broken in? I recently purchased a pair of AER BD-3 drivers and was told it could take over 100 hours for the paper cones to loosen up and settle in. | |
An audio component you just can't let go My Brinkmann Byquist DAC made a huge difference bringing details to the mostly mid range music I love. It’s the “core’ of my system | |
Unplated copper spades/banana I use Viborg copper spades and I can hear absolutely no differences from the previous connectors. None. Zero. But, I do like their look. | |
What is causing false tube faults in VTL MB450 Series III? If your experience with VTL service is anything like mine, good luck. They could not have been less responsive and Bea said their service is backed up 6 months. I live around LA so I took mine to George Meyer. Two week and it was fine. | |
Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets I replaced my circuit box and then ran 12 gauge to the HiFi. Interesting, every box I looked at used aluminum for the breakers and hence, aluminum to copper wire. So I don’t understand all the debate over which outlet is used. From the source, we... |
