| A simple Request to Sellers- I couldn't agree more. This should be mentioned in their feedback. I wouldn't buy from a seller like that. | |
| Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift Br3098,The OP's speaker was listed as the LaSkala, not the K- Horn. But all the amps you suggested should match very nicely just the same. As others have noted, these speakers will sound best with tube gear. SS tends to bring out some harshness.4 ... | |
| Zu Essence owners....your impressions please I also heard the Essence is going to be discontinued. Maybe from an email notification from Zu? Can't say for sure, but I thought I heard the Druid mkV (with the new Radian 850 tweeter) was to take its place. I'm sure Morgan has all the facts on t... | |
| Klipsch-tekton -Zu Wmbode,Like you, my music tastes have grown more diverse. Must be an age thing LOL.The Zu will be dynamic, more refined, and a (much) better soundstage than the Klipsch. Never heard the Tekton so I have no comment. | |
| Klipsch-tekton -Zu Wmbode,Wondering what Klipsch model you had that sounded bright and fatiguing. And what amp & pre amp you were using. I had Klipshorns for many years and they were bright when I had solid state amps, but sounded best with low powered tube amps... | |
| Sennheiser HD 700s need a lot of break-in? I don't have the 700 but my HD650's needed a LOT of break-in time. Felt like forever because I don't use them often. They really opened up after a while and sounded nothing like when new. Senn makes some great headphones, the wait will be rewarding. | |
| Testing 845 tubes in the NYC area? I have a few popular tube testers and none of them can test an 845. I'm wondering if there is any tester that can. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit,First off, congratulations on your new Def 4's. I'm sure you'll get them dialed in.I finally got mine dialed in after many weeks and many hours of tweaking, moving them around, rolling tubes and a new amp. These took a lot of work to get ri... | |
| Do headphones requiere break-in? What Nglazer said. I almost sent back my Sennheiser 650's because they sounded horrible when brand new. Like your Grado's, no bass or highs. Then they just opened up and sound glorious with hours on them. Give them some time, they'll come around. | |
| Lyra Skala Return it for a full refund if the paper missing was not disclosed in the ad. Sometimes that white paper can get dirty and make the cartridge look less appealing. | |
| Does you wife touch your system? Jmcgrogan2 wrote; "She only touches it if she's dusting"I hope Jmcgrogan2 doesn't have a turntable.I've read about many cartridge stylus' get destroyed while being dusted by others. | |
| Does you wife touch your system? Just the volume control......... counter clockwise only | |
| New level of ridiculousness Then there's the cost of my cell phone bills that exceed the cost of leasing 2 brand new Honda Civics. OK, I have a 4 phone account, but still, really.Sorry for getting off topic of audio, but cell phone costs really bug the sh*t out of me. | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Duke mentions vintage Klipsch, and I can back that up. I had a pair of Klipshorns for almost 25 years. I pulled the woofers out (they are enclosed inside the cabinet) for inspection prior to selling them and much to my surprise, they looked brand ... | |
| how to reduce noise through JMW10 Agree that the table sitting on granite is where your problem is. My set up is very similar to yours (table, arm and a Benz cart) and I can pound on the table all day long with no issues at all. |
