| Homemade 6 inch tall stands for small floor stranders I like that!!! Get some of that Flex Seal rubberized paint and paint them and put extra coatings where the speaker will sit and then the bottoms shouldn't get scratched up, I would think. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Agree with Inna, get your system in the room, then work on treatments. I remember at the stereo store I worked in we had thick curtains in our high end room and the back wall was a few feet away from it and it sounded pretty awful. I would look ... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines One last thought, aesthetics plays an important role in our audio systems and I agree nothing looks better than the glowing tubes. A real conversation starter. Likewise, the Cain & Cain tall single driver speakers are pretty cool looking too... | |
| Bill Legall-MillerSound speaker driver repair +10 for Bill, he fixed the woofer on my beloved Paisley AE-500's. He's a national treasure, thankfully, he lives close by :) | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Anyone ever own the Streets Electronic 950 amp or a Wingate amp? Those looked awesome. I once heard a Wingate at a high end show, but the rep was this young kid who believed everyone wanted to hear it at ear splitting levels and wouldn't turn it... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Hi Cottguy,Haven't been on A'gon in a while but have read this whole thread with great interest. Been in this hobby for about 30 years now and have read countless reviews of high end gear over the years and owned lots of gear too. I sold audio g... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? 55, 30, ?I can get by on a lot less these days and that pertains to audio as well. At most, audio is only an 8-9 month hobby out of the year. In summer, I don't want to sit on my rear and listen to music, only when I'm couped up during the winte... | |
| Automatic Tables Surprisingly several yrs back, I went to an audio show where one room featured great SET tube amps with expensive single driver speakers and very mediocre sources. I'm talking a sony close n play TT and a 1st gen. Technics cd player and it sounde... | |
| Beautiful tubes make beautiful music ..... I guess its all about synergy too when it comes to tubes. I had RCA clear top AU7's also in a early Jeff Korneff 6bq5 int amp with Telefunken 6bq5's several yrs ago and didn't think that much of the clear tops either. I then put a pr of Mullard ... | |
| Audio - Post Divorce A beautiful woman I recently met had an interesting theory on divorce that I hadn't thought about. Since we are all living longer, that by about 50 or so, if you've been in a long marriage as we have both been, you realize that you hopefully have... | |
| Audio - Post Divorce Rich,So sorry to hear of your Grandson. My parents lost a son three years ago at 57 and it's never easy. Hang in there. I've found you never really heal, you just learn to live with it......Having said that, I look forward to 2016 being a great... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. Old Klipsch with low powered SET amps only. Nothing else needs to be said.... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Jeff Korneff amps and Derek Sanderson's Fleawatt chip amps - you might just sell your 300b SET for one of Derek's offerings and not miss it at all.....Other than that, I've always liked the older B&K amps as giantkillers like the above 2 names... | |
| R.I.P. David Bowie A true original who reinvented himself many times as the years went by...I've been non stop listening to his music since his passing and have now come to really appreciate the genius that he was. Even the songs I've heard and started to dislike b... | |
| Can a name make you or break you in the Audio World I used to sell Adcom products at retail many many years ago and they always used interesting model numbers. Ever wonder why all of their products began with GF for their amps, preamps and tuners? It stood for Great Fu&kin, as in GFA1, GFA2, ... |
