| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 I have found great happiness in obtaining those older units that got you started in this hobby. Part has to do with the memorabilia of it all. Hope you find it soon. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? LP,I got the Nakamichi BX125 in 1985, the Rega Planar 3 in 89 I believe. I think the ProAc Studio 1's were gotten soon after.Lou | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? lpretiring - interesting post. I listened to the Spendor SP1's against the ProAc Studio 1's for several hours, both were selling for $700 at the time. Was a very hard choice to make as they both sounded so good. I ended up taking the smaller Pr... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Rega Planar 3 - about 24 yearsNakamichi BX-125 - about 23 yearsMy electronics and speakers seem to come and go every few years especially if its not tube gear. The longest I had any 1 system intact was about 5 years (McIntosh MC225, Music Referen... | |
| Power cord for low-watt tube amp? An EL84 in PP triode, please tell us more about this amp and feel free to add pics too. For several years, I had a modified Conn organ amp that ran 6BG6's in PP triode for 8 wpc. One of the best sounding amps I ever had | |
| Speakers & Electronics - Matching Components - Your Evolution Never heard any of the Quad electronics; although, I had an early FM4 several years back that I liked very much. Also, heard the ESL63's once thru 50 watt tube monoblocks and they were indeed very nice. | |
| 2017 vs. 1990s - How far we have come I'm with you Erik on the silver DIY cables. Over the years, I've had many different IC's, nothing too exorbitant mostly Straightwire and high end Monster and I've also had several different DIY silver cables. I don't go crazy trying to listen fo... | |
| Opinion:PSaudio/Robertson audio pre/amp I never heard the 4010; however, it was highly praised back in the day. I believe it's bipolar outputs and I prefer mosfets as they are tubier sounding. $800 seems high for both as there are a bunch of $300 amplifiers here and on Audiomart that ... | |
| Cleaning silver faceplates? I've had good results with Endust, Lemon Pledge, and Lemon Oil | |
| Speakers & Electronics - Matching Components - Your Evolution Always wanted to hear the Epos ES14's, they look like very nice speakers. The older Yamaha stuff is very interesting too. | |
| Speakers & Electronics - Matching Components - Your Evolution Boxer - mine was an early Jeff Korneff 6bq5 int amp, Jeff didn't even want me calling it a Korneff as his Korneff 45 amps were much different in build quality from his earlier stuff.....I loved it though and thought it was terrific.I heard Lowther... | |
| Speakers & Electronics - Matching Components - Your Evolution bdp - that's been since 1976, and actually system #6 I had for 5 years, but systems #7-13 I went through in about 6-7 months and then I got out of audio completely for about 4 years.In 1993, my daughter was born and I had these ProAc Studio 1's on... | |
| Spend more money on the amp or the pre-amp? As an additional comment to my post above, for $800, I'd also highly consider one of those Chinese integrated tube amps. Audio Space, Antique Sound Labs, Jolida, Prima Luna - there's a lot to choose from on the internet. I'd also consider a cust... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring To me, it's a little boring to read about expensive speakers/gear that I'll never be able to own or afford. I like reading about the giant killer gear and classic gear, stuff that is obtainable.....A George Carlin analogy was his bit about teenag... |
