| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Out of curiousity I am bidding on an amp for sale.But I won't go too high without any other feedback.The restocking fee is pretty steep it amounts to 500$ to try the amp out. So I'm suspicious.loon | |
| Maggies...Measured Amp Power Requirements No blown tweets, I also drove them better than expected with a Cary SLA 70, read 35 watts/channel.So I like loud but I like my ears and the Cary got them past the point where they had to be. In fact they sounded very good. Better than any 35 watt ... | |
| Need opinion on cary V12 vs VTL upgrade I dunno, never heard the Cary 12's, but if your gonna dump your VTL see what you get for trade in then call me.Send an e-mail for my phone number.loon | |
| Ever hear the "Maggie Scream"? Dude, It's not your speakers!!!!To produce a signal requires a voltage and I assure you the Maggies have NONE.It sounds to me like capacitor discharge from your amp. And no it should not make noise. loon | |
| VTL vs Jolida No contest VTL, although I have not heard the latest from Jolida, and --- Jolida while not up to VTL standards, is no slouch, and for da money!!!!loon | |
| Classe Modifications Better choice, list it on the gon, and move on to something more suitable to your liking. A mod will cost you way too much, for what it's worth, and you may not like it as well. Better to find what you like the sound of and BUT IT.loon | |
| Fedex or UPS? Avoid the UPS store like the plaque, they are NOT UPS!!!!REPEAT, THEY ARE NOT UPS. The insurance is a joke, they have destroyed two pieces. UPS says go to the UPS store as they are the shipper and they ain't US, or UPS.Just beware, however, like K... | |
| magnepan 3.5. Midrange noise Rkeman is probably right, I would check the foil traces as well first. He's also right that you can easily replace the mid driver, getting the cloth sock off and on right is the hardest part. Patience and methodic work will get it done.Check the t... | |
| Besides the soundcard.... does the computer itself Oh yeah, and if you add the Mo-Pingo Puc's it will improve the sound. :)They do make a tube sound card out there, but I think I leave the tubes and their heat in the basement where they can warm the ambience of the concrete walls.If you have a dig... | |
| Poaching vinyl in thrift shops But they can make things that look like garbage playable and almost tick free. Scratches cannont be overcome. Dirt can.Keith Monks is the single biggest tweak I have encountered yet. Cables, cryo' silver, gold platinum, what ever, Bah!!!But the Mo... | |

| Pass x250 always on:how much more $ in electricity Just kidding, it will increase by less than $10. Buy it, plug it, play it, and forgedaboutit.Besides, how big a strain can the electrical be if you can come up with the scratch of even a used Pass. The 250 usually goes for between 22-2500 used. An... | |

| Tube rectifier or solid state Yes and no and yes and no, Rectifiers have a bit difference in sound, SS rectification is a much better answer when done correctly, you have to warm the tubes and most SS rectifiers don't do it well. A delay circuit with the new rectifiers will so... |
