| Hi i have platinum audio bookshelf monitors that do not sound right... What don’t you like with your current setup? How large is your room? What do you listen to? How loud? | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace I ran it for a day a half continuosly with a signal. I would expect any further breakin to be minor. Waiting to hear if Schiit finds anything wrong with it. I am also wondering if they substituted parts in the design (they were backordered for ... | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Update 3. Wife listened briefly without knowing which was which and said the second sounded clearer by a lot. It was the Adcom. Want to see if Schiit finds anything wrong as I don’t believe it should be this noticible of a difference. | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace Update 2. I thought is might be a level matching thing, so pulled out the SPL meter and matched with pink noise on a tripod to .5 db. Then left both running, swapping XLR's on the input and output. In comparison in active mode for the Adcom a... | |
| New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster “found this:" Plastic Binding Post outputs; replaced with CARDAS binding posts. Runs class A to 125 watts; generates a fair amount of heat. "If this is true of the amps you have, then the heat will have by now wreaked havoc with the small electrol... | |
| Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace An Update. Bought a Schiit Freya, as I have been very happy with their other components. I purchased the upgraded Tung Sol tubes from the factory. It has been running about 4 hours, but based on my impressions so far, it will be going back. My... | |
| Velodyne HGS12-repair or replace? EBC Electronics repairs them for $175. That said I replaced my HGS-12 with a Rythmik 15hp and the difference is huge. The Rythmik is in another league in terms of transparency and output capability. It makes the a velodyne sound muddy and comp... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I have a Vidar I used while my Sunfire was getting updated. Nice sounding, smooth, no noticible grain and great bass. It had plenty of power and control for a set of Revel F36s (huge room, 4500 cubic feet opening to other rooms). It ran out of ... | |
| Bob Carver new tune expected The early M400 cubes had a reputation for blowing up, but the other Carver’s did not. Silver 7ts were amazing. You can have my Sunfire 300 when you pry it from my cold dead hands. | |
| New KEF Reference 5 speakers A slightly different thought. Is your room more livelythan the dealers? It is amazing what $500 of sound treatments placed at the first reflection points can do to improve the sound of a “bright” speaker. I do agree with the others, for the am... | |

| Auditioning Magnepan MMGi's and 1.7i's (and possibly the 3.7i's) on Monday I have owned multiple Maggies from the SMGa to the 3.5, which I still have. Maggies are not an “accurate” speaker. What they are is a very musical speaker that people either tend to love and stick with or be ambivolent about. Without listenin... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson Sadden by his early passing. I had an opportunity to listen to his large speakers nearly 20 years ago. Not my cup of tea, but for the exact reason he designed and built them. They revealed everything, making the flagship Theils and then Vander... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? 213runnin isthe only person that caught the OP is running the Vidars in mono into a 4 ohm load. They are not designed for that (8 ohm or above when bridged), nor is there a need to. Those speakers are rated 94db/w, so a single Vidar in stereo sh... |
