| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @mijostyn Back in the mid to late 80's I had Tympani 4's. The earlier version where the 3 panels did not separate. I converted my garage with advice from the Winey's to have one wall built on a slight angle to eliminate parallel walls. I then ins... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Hopefully what I should be hooking up tomorrow. Been using Duelund DCA 12 bare for a couple years with good results. Ordered their best silver foil 3.0 along with special order Aeco pure silver spades that I waited on special order for 9 weeks. H... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? @elliottbnewcombjr, Good...Welcome back. LP | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? @shtinkydog Oh my gosh...NO, perhaps I misspoke. I had the seller ship the amp with signature required. This way I couldn’t be left with a box outside I’d been advised not to lift. Then a beautiful sob story and $5 later the box was inside my ho... | |
| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? Don't think I qualify. Had cataract surgery March 15th and soon after noticed a nice deal on a CJ amp. It's been sitting in the box in my entranceway for about 12 days now. In a couple more days with a friends help it should be safe enough to lift... | |
| Schumann Resonator I have 4 of these somewhere. I fell asleep quicker and slept more deeply along with feeling more engaged in the music initially with them. Unfortunately, each after a few weeks lost their mojo including a relatively expensive unit. I believe they ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @bernardo Having been down the rabbit hole with a defective unit I would lean towards a new unit. How much are you saving by buying the year-old unit? I will make a guess at 25%. The additional expense is not only an insurance policy but also a... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? As an audiophile who has focused on value this past decade, I feel I've acquired several examples. What stands above the rest in competitive sound quality I believe is my Hornshoppe Truth line stage. | |
| Which preamps use 6922/6DJ8 tubes? If you really want to turn back the clock look for the SA-5 series from Counterpoint. They used a quad set of them. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? You should consider getting Magnaplanars. Back in the day when I had them on multiple occasions people asked where the speakers were. Can't damage them if they can't find em. | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Got my Entech yesterday and it seems to me that this device can only be helpful in communicating your overall home line noise. I was happy when first testing a non-audio circuit that resulted in minimal noise. That convinced me that previous effo... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @charles1dad Yes, I did. I was a little surprised how much Israel was promoting the mono's which gave me pause for concern. Mono's due to some set-up complications is something I had decided against. I've been following a couple of recent amp... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Many good options given here. Another to ponder is the Duelund DCA 12. It seems to check off all of your requests. I'm completely satisfied with it in my pretty nice set up having beat out Western Electric vintage, Anti-Cable level 2, and Kimber ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Very simple repair of the puck. I used very fine steel wool to smooth out any slight burrs. | |
| A Word Of Thanks Sorry to hear now that you had a serious scare, but extremely happy that it appears everything will work out well for you! LP |
