| circle of confusion @dill , I totally agree with you. I only use the Classic View. My point is there are websites that provide a thumbnail view which is aesthetically pleasing, eg, Ebay includes a clear photo and description, or SkyFi...https://skyfiaudio.com/collect... | |
| circle of confusion @dill , of course you're correct.But it still begs the question, why do we have to look at equipment thru a porthole? What purpose does it serve? None. | |

| Has Paypal suddenly started charging sales tax? @steakster is correct.But why would PayPal charge and collect sales tax? It's the vendor who adds the tax to the selling price of the goods.And as steakster stated, it applies to all forms of payment from an online sale; credit cards, checks, mone... | |
| Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp tube dilemma Sounds good (I hope). Definitely let us know how it works out... 50 hours for full burn-in. | |
| Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp tube dilemma Nice cart, I like the Grado sound. OK, so you do need to open-up the phonostage with some dynamics and detail. In addition to my advice above, I’ll add that you don’t need a Mullard in your analogue chain. Some other 12AX7’s; Siemens (good extens... | |
| Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp tube dilemma It would also help to tell us what TT, cable, and cartridge you are using. So many combinations of tubes shouldn’t sound dull.I’m really wondering if the Morrows need more break-in.In addition, I read the PV11 manual and your preamp is phase inver... | |
| Conrad-Johnson PV 11 preamp tube dilemma Did you allow enough run-in time on the Morrow cables? If not, the dull sound you are hearing may be the cables.Regarding tubes...By changing from Tele’s to Amperex in the line stage you gained a sweeter, more open midrange.You could try Amperex 1... | |
| OPPO UDP- 205 VS PS AUDIO PWD MK2 @ozzy , I think he is referring to the Perfect Wave Dac which is PCM 192. | |
| Coupling & De-coupling audio gear... So, the box is attached and becomes a plinth for the TT?It would be good to know what TT you have and whether it has a suspension or a solid body plinth. | |
| Looking to purchase a new Reciever and I need some help! A vintage receiver such as a Marantz or Yamaha, etc. will get you high quality sound for 2 channel audio. They have better build quality and power than today’s receivers, but do not have the features for HT such as 7.1 or digital capability.The ad... | |
| carver reciever and power amp I should have mentioned that I have a 300W Carver amp from the 90's that served me well. I kept it for use as a backup amp. I also owned one of Bob's Sunfire amps. That was one of Carver's great designs. | |
| carver reciever and power amp It depends which generation of Carver amp it is. There have been reviews and stories that some Carver amps when tested didn't meet the specs that he claimed, but some of his amps actually measured higher power than the spec sheet. These measuremen... | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with Audigon:I'm happy to have the list view back.But that Tile View never should have happened without Beta testing.If you want to include a "thumbnail" view, this is the proper way to do it...https://skyfiaudio.com/collections/all?sort_by=created-des... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Yes, good call @dill . I missed the fact that a vintage receiver is driving the system. I'm confused as to where the Arcam and the tube amp play a role in this system.In any event, that Pioneer is a beauty, but not up to the task of providing the... |
