| Many seem to be talking about their last system . i SIT HERE S/P day 6 of quadruple bypass, no big explanation. but can say a divorce early retirement and substantial income reduction, a new system would be a big deal. I would like my pre divorce one back. That would be good enough. Unlike so... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Opera Consonance Cyber 800 monoblocks to Focal 936 Electras connected with Jena lab Trio speaker cables A really nice pure all copper cable. | |
| Shout out for Better Records I agree hddano, his time is not worth an additional $400 for a used record, not to me anyway. I get enough pleasure from the records I buy through the usual channels. Not all of them are great, even the 180gm records can have mediocre sound. Mo... | |
| Vintage receivers??? I am not familiar with the Audiokarma site. I have used this and Audio Asylum. Do they have a vintage discussion board? Or do they have multiple vintage bulletin boards, and how are they arranged? | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest Wolf weren't told as a child that everyone is special.Are Altec 7s the VOTT with those big multi cellular horns? I wanted those years ago, but not now. I could have put them or Klipschorns in my basement where my LaScalas were. Where my main sys... | |
| Vintage receivers??? Well John the Marantz 240 should make a fine amp for you to to recap and refurbish. If the work is only a matter of caps. The bigger problems are the integrated circuit boards. If they are bad you will be out of luck. Remember that older amps ... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest In Wolf's defense he is talking about the Heresy III. I own the original Heresys (2 pair no less) and the bass clearly rolls off at the published 50 Hz +- 5Db. From a long time owner (since 1976) I always thought the bass could benefit from reinf... | |
| Rega Brio R or Alex R for new Klipsch Heresy III's. Despite the high sensitivity of Klipsch Heresys, which I have owned for nearly 40 years, I learned while working with LaScalas (18 years), that the short throw woofers of Klipsch speaker benefit from as much power as you can give them. That is wh... | |
| Pneupod NP-1 Pneumatic Isolation Feet - Feedback please This approach has been around for quite a while. Look up Ginko Audio and you will save a good deal of money. You don't get all of the eye candy the pnuemo pods have but I bet you'll get better results. Their "Cloud" platforms are suspended on ... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. FWIW I never liked the idea of a separate DAC for dedicated CD playing. I would buy the CD player and avoid the component mindset in this situation. | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it Most gear is reliable, the cost is mainly the capital investment. Once you own it, you should just be paying the utility bills. If you really want almost completely fuss free equipment, by reasonably powerful SS stuff and play it at lowish level... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest People have talked about putting mutes in the mid horn. I doubt that’s is better than a better crossover or improving the bass driver so that it is a longer throw driver.I get similar bass with my 1950s JBLs they are both short throw. In their day... | |
| Looking for a 300b integrated amplifier kit for my Avantgarde Trio (107db) horn speakers I think Audio Note is the most well known. If you want to go really budget, however, check out the kits from Asia. I would post this question on a DIY board. There are a few to choose from. Google DIY threads and see what you get. I don't build... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 Warmth is in the ear of the beholder. The Hegel while having superb resolution is not an ice cold amp. I found the Hegel I have listened to to lean to the warmer side but not by much. | |
| Vintage receivers??? Somebody has to do it. I went through a phase of trying to buy better Japanese 70's gear a number of years back and found nothing but trouble. I had a Kenwoood KA-7100, a 60 watt integrated amp, in my late teens which survived into my 40s. Wen... |
