| Transmission line speakers! All PMC speakers use transmission line designs. Consequently, they seem to produce more and better bass than comparably sized speakers using other designs. I really like my PMC Fb1i Signature speakers. The only real knock on them I’ve eve... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Why do you need to move the amp around so much? | |
| How to tame a bright system? This was as close to Unanimous advice as I have ever seen on Audiogon, a clear majority identified the culprit right away. Yet OP defends the sound of his overly bright B&W speakers, which he “tested”? Then at home he heard what those speaker... | |
| Bands/artists you never got to see live in their heyday, but would've liked to. Beatles - without the screaming girls that made it impossible to hear themArtie ShawHendrixsaw most of the rock bands listed here, even remember a few of those shows. 50 + times, for Grateful Dead, SRV.

| Cost to keep equipment running / on Fuzztone, thanks. Ordered one. Will be good to know the draw of each component. The total running electrical cost from my gear, plus the a/c costs of cooling down the heat from from c. 25 tubes, costs me c. $100-150/ mo. In Texas. Of course,... | |
| Why are there no tube televisions anymore? I don't miss tube tv's. Size, weight, heat, reliability, low resolution. TV's could be a lot better. I had a Sony Qualia 46" LED that was c. $15K new. Discontinued because it cost so much to make them, I don't think it was profitable. S... | |

It matters because up to a certain level, you’d be better off with an integrated vs. separate power and pre. An integrated will compromise ... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . It’s about learning how to “read.” I think everyone here has learned to skip over posts from certain people. And always carefully read posts from some others. When a post begins like, “I’ve never heard the two components you ask about, b... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? @ fuzztonethis year, you should have said... Yankees... no playoff | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? The Quicksilver amps look relatively easy to upgrade, e.g. better caps, being wired point-to-point and more classic than exotic; anyone doing that? | |

| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? DB Systems db-1A preamp, tone controls and power supply, bought used then upgraded. | |
| How long does Class A have? This thread posed a good question, but it degenerated into one of the all-time worst. What audiogon needs is a “block posts from this member” option. | |
| Hearing Aids The music mode is likely just a flatter eq curve.unfortunately, hearing aids are designed with no thought at all given to sound quality. Seriously, none. Except for the implanted Lyric, they are all didital now.They are equalizers that bring up ... |
