| Classic speakers to hunt down used EV and Really true older Klipsch may be a rendundant suggestion. Klipsch used EV drivers on their oldest Heritage Series types and may have had them OEMed for the later ones. What surprises me is that the question mentions KLH, Advent, and AR all ... | |
| Are Accuphase preamps "dull" sounding ? I love mine this ancient Accuphase pre I just got. It gives me the best sound I have had. It took all tthe digital glare out but left the detail -SWEEEEET! | |
| How Important is Tube Matching? They are not required in some preamps at all because each tube has aspecific role in in an active gain stage that drives both cjannels this is absoluteley certain for my legendary ARC SP6B. It is not going to be true in cases where each tube is in... | |
| Which Lamm should I add to the flock? If you are looking for a really clean tube that is a drop in for a 6922 that won't cost you $200 try the under recognized but really better sounding Mullard CV2493 not the 70s 6922 or even the CV 2492. I think I got mine from Tubemonger I'm not su... | |
| Focal Electra Be 937's placement I have the even brighter 936s i.e. not Be but Tioxids and found that the toe in was the real deal, but not to that extreme you are probably getting wave cancelation effects. You can't always isolate a problem such as this which may be any combinat... | |
| Audience Au-24 With High Current Amp I have used zip cord for big low impedance nominal 8 ohms but dip below 4 at times with no problems. I wouldn't worry at all. The speaker wire you use does change the sound considerably so find the sound you want. Despite the controversy I did a p... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro It was difficult to wade through all of what has been said, but there are different philosophies that store owners employ. They do on average getabout 40% mark up on High end speakers take from that the operating which is extremely variable depend... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... Yes indeed the Prima I had was definitely the older model. I do have to disagree me and my pal Trelja both own Granites. I bought mine after hearing his for a long time. We also did an A/B with an Electrocompianet EMC 1 up, which I had loved from ... | |
| Good Value & Performance FLEXIBLE Power Cable? Did you like the Audience stick with what you like although they have some python qualities not really bad but some if you want some competent cables that cost very little try the magic from Signal. You can experiment with really basicstuff also t... | |
| starting from just about scratch w/ $600 to spend If you want a really good little box phono pre try the Redgum from Australia but they aren't that cheap. E-mail on the side and I can tell you where you might be able to work out a deal with an MMF-5 I own both. The MMF-5 is a great solid table, v... | |
| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? The pure Class A Llamms blew me away in terms of bringing the detail out , fabulous tone as well those are my destination amps. The A/B powered ones are almost as good. Never did hear the tubed Llamms but from what I have read they are great but a... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... All I can tell you is that the transport on my used Prima is totally dead according to my local audio guy. He said it would be a minor fortune to get it fixed because AA mods the transports somewhat I assume to fit the rest of it. This one has to ... | |
| Consonance as a brand-musical or not? I have heard it at Quest For Sound. I forgot to mention that. I liked the Forbidden City a lot. The amp is very impressive if you can get past the bright colored facade. The power is pure Class A up to 40 watts. I'm telling you it really sounds li... | |
| New Jersey Audio Dealers Yep, They are very pleasant. I bought their "absolute" power cords from them. Where in Jersey are you North or South? If South it's a barren wasteland. You have to go to the Philly area which doesn't have a lot I deal with one guy who is super nic... | |
| Anyone experienced JBL's K2 S9800? According to the JBL website you can buy them directly from the Harmon on line shopping site, for a mere $15,000 per speaker plus frieght. And yes they say they are in stock. |
