| mapleshade The Mapleshade top of the line power strip for front end components, and top of the line power cord for amplifier directly into the AC wall outlet have remained in a number of my systems through many other changes. Great transient speed, and dynam... | |
| Best integrated, ??? Prepare to be impressed if you audition the Aronov LS 960i. They usually run about $1600, used. I don't need a second one, or I would be contacting Audiogon member-dealer Jboeyjus who has one in his inventory of used items for only $1250. Compared... | |
| Melos Audio Restoration going strong... Mooncrikit, Thank you for your public apology. There are many smaller audio businesses that cannot provide instant communication responses, and have a backlog of work, at all times. If Audiogon members want the good part of this audio cottage indu... | |
| Taming a Bright Phono Section Did you get the very comprehensive instruction booklet that explains how to adjust for best sound? If you need it, I can search for mine, and make a copy for you.Never bright in my experience, with Shure, and Grado MM cartridges.Is there any troub... | |
| What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow Johnnantais, Do you mean the Shure stylus assembly is held rigidly bound in position with the glue, but the glue contact points can be broken by simple pulling away from the cartridge body when it is time to replace a stylus assembly? Do you need ... | |
| Clements audio speakers? Correction: "but I can see that"Why try to type at 4 AM, anyway? | |
| Clements audio speakers? Klimek99, Interesting how you used your Little D's as a platform to experiment. I saw a pair at Stereo Exchange in NYC sometime in the late 80's when I listened to my RT-7's. And again, in Toronto suburb, when a tourist. So there are at least two ... | |
| How badly does price drop for RIP manufacturer? Platinum Audio Solo stand-mounted monitor loudspeakers deliver sound quality far beyond what one expects at the used price of $600 per pair. Attractive styling, and compact size make it home environment friendly. It features quality bass extension... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? I ultimately had to decide that burning the tubes for hundreds of hours when I am not listening is too high a price to pay for the small, but precious, number of enhanced listening hours. Have left on solid state equipment, without the same misgiv... | |
| What steps forward were actually steps backward? Wonderful comments so far about reaching the goal of enjoying the music when we listen, rather than merely unveiling the remaining inadequacies in a system, when we upgrade part of it.The best upgrade would be one we can audition in our own system... | |
| Transparent Link 200 for Totem speakers Just a word on behalf of your speaker designer's Totem Beaks which can enhance the three dimensionality, clarity, and even bass extension of box speakers. They are positioned on the top surface of a box speaker, and act like a cable upgrade, or ad... | |
| Adjustable-height speaker stands--comments/recs? Mapleshade has a new line of speaker supports, and stands. With their near to the floor models., and the speakers pointing somewhat upward from below the listener, different size and height speakers should be able to be accomodated. They sell diff... | |
| What steps forward were actually steps backward? Although no one is always right in any field, I have never regretted a purchase made after first listening in my own systems.Since we all buy something, sooner or later, before hearing at home, trying to stick with what is recommended on Audiogon,... | |
| Transparent Link 200 for Totem speakers For entry level pricing, and high quality on an absolute basis, I found the $180 per eight foot pair of speaker cables from greggstraley@yahoo.com to be able to replace $450 to $1000 cables in my systems. With money back home trial, I had the conf... | |
| What Cart. for a Infinity Black widow Johnnantais, Thank you for your thorough review of experience with the Shure, and Grado. Although my own view that these are reasonably priced, quality reproducers is from use on the Rega RB-300 with the Kerry F-2 Titanium Heavyweight Counterweigh... |
