| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? Time and effort. Plus, systems are often changing. Then there is the question of which system, as many of us have more than one? That lead back to where I started, time and effort. | |
| Experience with Multiple Current and Recent Hegel Preamps Thanks for the input. Initially I’d be using an amp made with the Purifi class D modules or a DIY version of Nelson Pass' First Watt F5 mono blocks, but the longer term goal is the Hegel H30a (or H30). It’s just a bit out of my price range right n... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? The Jackson 5. I think it was around 1971 (plus or minus a year) at the Charlotte Coliseum (Charlotte, NC). It was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen. | |
| Streamer recommendation Let me try this again. I typed out a nice reply, then when I submitted it I got a validation screen, then a 404 error, which doesn't make sense. I hate the CloudFlare software that Audiogon is using on the site. I understand the purpose, but the i... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. My suggestion is, don't waste your time trying to bring someone into the fold. It's likely to be less than fruitful. There is nothing wrong with inviting people to listen to your system. Maybe that is enough to get them started on the path, but do... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile When I first heard and purchased a pair of Martin Logan SL3s. This was back in the mid-90s. They are the best speakers that I've ever owned, and possibly ever heard. To be fair, I haven't listened to any speakers of that caliber with a critical ea... | |
| Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling LOL! I can see where it might appear that I have been one and done. I guess in terms of responses I have been, but I have been following the thread with bated breath (I learned "bated breath" in an English class a gazillion years ago, and though i... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers @russbutton That is interesting information. The people in these forums are a wealth of information. Thx. | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers I would have to build from a kit. I don't have the tools to build from scratch. I wish I did. Still, I think it has the potential to be a rewarding project. I'm looking forward to it. | |
| Financial Limits of Tube and Op Amp Rolling It's kind of in the same ballpark as spending $500 for a linear power supply to "upgrade" your $800 streamer. I think the money might be better spent if you bought a $1300 streamer in the first place. Just saying...YMMV. | |

| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers The conversation has continued to stir my curiosity about these two types of speakers. I think I will start with the folded horn. I like floor standing towers. The only design that I have seen that I like thus far is this Fostex BK-12m at Madisoun... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers @raam Good luck with the speaker build. Please, let us know how it goes. To have to fit it in an RV is a heck of a constraint. | |

| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers @erik_squires i recently started spending time at diyaudio.com. However, it's been trying to learn the electronics side of audio and not on the speaker side of things. |
