| Genesis V servo amp Gary Koh, the resident guru at the company since Arnie Nudell's departure has a manufacturer's forum on What's Best. He deals with a lot of issues from people wanting to keep their older Genesis speakers in good shape. I suspect that he will be be... | |
| best value current production tonearm The Trans-fi arm looks intriguing if you are a masochistic tinkerer who can't help tinkering all the time - like me. My first 'Big Boy' turntable was a vacuum-platter SOTA with an ET2 arm. It drove me nuts for several years until I traded the SOTA... | |
| How to set up REL Subwoofer? If you want to use High-Pass you should wire the speakon connector to the front L & R speaker posts. This will send the exact same signal to both the main speakers and the sub. Since both receive the same signal at the same instant in time, th... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. I've been running a VPI SSM Reference since 2011 and have been tweaking things ever since. Your new TT is capable of a lot better sound and there are some things that really can make a difference: 1. Don't mourn the loss of your bear-paws. Take an... | |
| About to buy a Wyred4Sound 1000 Watt Integrated Don't do it! The Maggies deserve mono-blocks. | |
| Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else? It's not just Canada. I have been buying a lot of stuff this year for my system and have trouble with Paypal and so I only get to buy things if the seller can take a credit card any other way but PP or if I can send a Western Union money order. My... | |
| Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else? If you learn the custom/tariff rules you won't get burned. They are primarily set up to be fair about being applied to items only once in regardless how often it crosses the border. If an item was sourced from an American company originally and se... | |
| Audio Art Statement 1 power cables? I bought one about 3 years ago and liked it well enough. I was planning to buy a few more - I think I must have bought 15 PCs since then, but I soon discovered how much better you can do by buying used here on Agon. The first PC I bought here was ... | |
| mapleshade ic's... I can't say anything from experience about Pierre's interconnects, but I really love his HDMI cable and a few of his other products. The HDMI is the same design as the IC's and speaker cables, but it has held up to a lot of plugging and unplugging... | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter I got intrigued by the inverted bearing Classic platter and looked on the VPI website. On Harry's forum back in April he discussed the topic at length. When asked if it might become a standard item in their catalog, he responded that he was consid... | |
| Help - new house - new setup? Have you tried running the Audyssey speaker setup software that comes with the Marantz? I suggest that you run the setup on full auto and then analyze the results to look for any clues or anomalies it finds as it runs thru the various tests. If po... | |
| The End Of Big Iron? EssentialAudio, I may have been in your shop during the three years I worked as an IT consultant in Barrington for GE for their Y2K software repairs. I admit that I didn't buy anything, though. I was so busy I didn't have much time to listen at ho... | |
| The End Of Big Iron? Ralph, I actually retired as a HVAC technician and so did learn to calculate room heat gain/loss as well as measuring current draw. When the amps were in service for the last few years, they were located too close to the house's only thermostat an... | |
| Quality pre amps with home theater by-pass My Wyred4Sound STP-SE has a a pretty nice implementation of this feature. It allows you to choose from any of the regular inputs to assign as the HT input, using a simple set-up procedure. While I have separate HT and stereo systems, this feature ... | |
| The End Of Big Iron? I went from 100wpc tube amps to a pair of D-Sonic 600w mono amps after my power regenerator murdered them one fine morning. At the time, I was running 86db Snell speakers that I had bought with the amps back in 1991. I expected the new cheap class... |
