| Recommendation for a 12 year old It always depends on the kid. I have seen very wise 12 year old kids and very childish 12 year old kids. You need to adjust appropriately to the best of your ability and desire to gift. I can't afford very expensive so I bought a new Denon DP -29f... | |
| Sold in one day I missed the reason we are talking about politicians in an audio thread. Are the past presidents of whom you speak into keeping audio prices unnecessarily high.I learned that their Honoraria run as high as 1$,000,000.00 and not atypically $500,000... | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? I have heard the Hegel integrated and came close to buying it. You may want to find some way of auditioning it, before you rule it out. | |
| 6922's Replaced......It was time. I don't know if I said to do that, but it sounds like a good choice given the problems that can arise with old stock tubes. I have been collecting NOS and just old stock for a while but obviously the supply isn't getting larger in truth despite th... | |
| How to clean inside Amps and PreAmps I would put the covers back on as well. Then cover as you have been. Why did you remove the covers? If they are SS you are not doing yourself any favors. Sometimes the lids are integral to the heat sink operation and need to be present. Be careful... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish Hyperion HW 585s -fabulous tweeters in these. Midrange OK really good bass for size, fine fit and finish. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? Why does Schiit use such difficult names esp. since they aren't really exotic, just sound that way. Well not really of Germanic/Slavic/Norse origin, just some made up part of the world that doesn't exist. I know people like their Schiit, despite t... | |
| JBL LSR305 Studio Monitor: Opinions? There are probably better places to discuss computer speakers and the like. They come up often enough on HedFi believe it or not. You may want to check out comments on recent sales on MasssDrop which actually has video reviews of desktop speakers ... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? The other thing to remember is that your system at home with ample power and 2 subs dialed in is going to sound richer than most anything you compare it to. Arcam always struck me as a fuzzy warm sounding company but I guess not in class G. (I don... | |
| Which one...? Esoteric would be my choice. | |
| Power conditioner If you want hi end power stuff look at Tripoint Audio. | |
| Sold in one day What did you want to say about that quick sale? | |
| Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers You really have to try some for yourself. I can tell you one man's synergistic utopia is another's nightmare. I would ask Raidho. | |
| Tube recommendations for Cary Cad120s I haven't used the KT 120s myself so I won't comment about using them. I have however used the Gold Lion KT-88s and think they are wonderful. A rich somewhat softer edged sound than many but does not fail in picking up detail or subtlety. I would ... | |
| Can Luxman 509u drive JBL Ti5000 The specs speak for themselves 96dB with 1 watt at 1 meter is highly efficient. The min impedance is 5 Ohm with 6 nominal . My thinking is like the others a volume knob turned to 10 o'clock is hardly taxing your amp. It should be fine. If you don'... |
