| How long should high quality speakers last? YMMV but I purchased a pair of ADS L810 series2 in 1978. Used them sparingly until about 6 or 7 years ago and passed them down to my little brother. He is still enjoying them today. They have survived many moves but still play like new. All origin... | |
| Experiences with Oppo Service? In your estimation. given the circumstances, is the OPPO that much better than units now available for the price you paid for repair? | |
| Iphone -> Audioquest Dragonfly Red -> Hifiman Ananda For anyone interested in the Ananda, Keep your eyes open for bargains. The HiFiMan stuff goes on sale regularly. I bought a pair of Anandas a few years ago for about 60% off retail, direct from them. They do sound great but seem a little shy on ba... | |
| Guidance My first thought also. Although my system is relatively lo-fi, My KEF R3 Metas sound glorious when assisted by a pair of HSU subs. Even when you don't subjectively hear them, the music sounds fuller and more complete. When there is significant bas... | |
| Yamaha M80 Amp geoffreyggriffin I sent you a PM. | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers Too much power shouldn't be a problem, That is what volume controls are for. The old saying is very true. You will far more easily destroy a speaker with too little power than one with too much. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Several years ago, at the Sheldon in St. Louis. The featured act was the Milk Carton Kids. The opening act was Molly Tuttle with, I believe, "She's with Her" as her band. IMHO, they blew the Milk Cartons into the weeds. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. If you are already an Amazon Prime customer, Amazon unlimited is a good bargain and has a very good selection of hi-rez. Up to 24/192. | |
| My Gray Experience If it seems too good to be true......it almost always is. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? I had some Pioneer table back int he 70's, Early 80's, acquired a Denon DP-79? at a dealer fire sale (literally). Purchased a Technics SL-1200MK2 in 2005. Everyone can smirk now. However, to me it's the last turntable I'll ever need. Dead quiet an... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? I think that is a good learning experience. Let me say upfront that I don't really consider myself an audiophile. I'm in my late 70's and my high frequency hearing is gone. Nothing past 10k hz and my left ear is about 40% down. I, as many do, spe... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Instead of all the fretting and worrying about parts availability and service on vintage, why not buy a new Technics or comparable unit. I tend to favor Technics as they have proven to know a thing or two about turntable building. Well within you... | |
| Things we cannot be bothered by anymore Sure is difficult to follow a thread when referenced posts are gone. | |
| Takatsuki 300B $255 !! A fool and his money are soon parted! | |
| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! steakster; You are overpaying. When I got out of the service in late 1970, I went to work at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. Our retail labor rate was $7.00 per hour |
