| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver I think its all component dependent and what you are used to seeing. Certain products have certain colors, just like certain teams. Minn Vikings look way better in purple jerseys, the Cowboys look way better wearing white jerseys. Whenever you see... | |
| Speakers on floor? I have a low ceiling in my basement 84" so I like the sound with the tweeters lower than ear level. I have 20" monitor speakers and 12" stands and also dedicated 16" stands and I prefer the lower stands much better. I also have them tilted up with... | |
| Zappa Plays Zappa About a year ago, I saw a DVD of his show. It was amazing! Do you know when they will be in Philly? | |
| Vacuum tube exercise equip at the gym? It doesn't look like it has any function at all. Only the top 1/2 of the tube is visible, the rest of it is inside the tube well - its a black glass tube.Tom - its newer gear so you don't have the lush highs or flabby base like you do with classic... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Comes from my first name and after hearing so many different amp topologies, what I think sounds best, not necessarily that I own a SET.The very first time I heard a SET amp, I was at a show in Philly and heard about 7-8 different SET amps. 845's,... | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt I got 22/25, but recently saw a pair of PF Flyers in the shoe store for $79.50. I couldn't believe it! Cost only $3.79 when I got mine, and I could run faster and jump higher than anyone else :) Back then high white Chucks were the Air Jordan's of... | |
| how to clean brushed aluminum faceplate? I agree, best to contact the mfgr; however, I've always had great results with Pledge. Most recently I had some lemon oil on a rag so I tried it and that's seemed to work even better than Pledge. Its kept the dust away for a very long time. | |
| I'm going to start from scratch There are so many spkr mngrs out there that you can make yourself crazy with it, but in particular I like British speakers a lot. For the most part, they are usually always very warm and pleasing sounding that disappear and don't draw attention to... | |
| How many 'listen outside of the box' design? I'm a box guy but love the looks and idea of the boxless designs...truth be told, I have very limited exposure to boxless designs and have only heard them a handful of times. While I love the looks of them, I just could never get into the fact tha... | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh definitely very interesting Missioncoonery...anything other than what Mapleshade recommends is blashemy! And what if their name wasn't Mapleshade? Would they then be touting some other wood besides maple as the superior choice for racks, stands, e... | |
| I'm going to start from scratch I've been in this hobby for over 25 years now and have owned and have heard many different set ups and have probably read countless more equipment reviews from numerous hi end magazines over the years and sold audio at the retail level many yrs ag... | |
| Cheap but decent preamp ??? PS Audio IVH, 4.5, or 4.6, Superphon Revelation Basic (preferably dual mono version), and Dynaco PAS 2 or 3. | |
| You're selling that? But you just got it Its much more primal than that. I tell the Mrs., "would you rather me cheat on my new amp, or cheat on you?" I could be at the bar or nightclub looking at different women or on audiogon looking at different gear - you decide. | |
| To all tube lovers....... I'm also a tube guy at heart but about 12 years ago or so, I went back and forth between a B&K EX442 Sonata (200 into 8, 360 into 4) and a pair of 8417 Paoli M60 monoblocks (highly modded Dyna mkIII's) and was hard pressed to tell the differen... |
