| Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers I have had LaScala's, currently have Klipschorns and Altec 604E and Klipsch Heresy's. My opinion is there are equally satisfying but in different ways. Properly set up the LaScala's are very good and I would vote for them. | |

| When Was The Audio Golden Age? In many respects yes, the gear from the 1960's can compete. Today, we have streaming services, but the golden age of hi-fi, in my view, was the period from the 1950s to the mid-1960s. During this era, a relatively high percentage of households ow... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? The golden age of high-fidelity (hi-fi) audio is generally considered to be the period from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, with the peak around 1959-1960. This era saw several key developments that revolutionized audio quality and made hi-fi syst... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi MidFi vs HiFi has nothing to do with budget, it has to do with the listener. A HiFi listener seeks to get the most enjoyment and best sound he can while the MidFi listener is satisfied with the music as it is and isn't concerned with refining the... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I am into both vinyl and digital. From a cost standpoint there is no debate that bang for the buck digital is the only way to go. I think that vinyl has a more natural, organic sound but the cost for the improvement ... not worth it. However ma... | |

| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I have the Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE and it is a wonderful sounding DAC. My setup uses highly revealing modified Klipschorn speakers and 2A3 SET amps (current configuration). The AM seems to be the perfect compliment, the sound is smooth with... | |
| Vintage Speaker Choice I would go with Altec 604E's. Much of the music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's were mixed using the 604. Although not the most accurate speaker, still very listenable in the correct enclosure. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D The 2nd pivot works great and setting the azimuth is a snap using Wallytools. The 2nd pivot although it works well, it is a little hokey. If VPI incorporates the 2nd pivot concept into a tonearm I will upgrade. | |
| Your First System First system was 1968 with a Marantz 8B amp, Dyna PAS 3x preamp, Rek-O-Kut turntable with Empire arm and Altec A7 speakers. I was 15 and my father was a long term audiophile back to 1949. He went through everything from Cook binaural records and t... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? One of my favorite tube amps for horn speakers is the Welborne Moondogs 2A3 SET. I saw their is one for sale on the Klipsch website for a great deal especially since it has the ultimate upgrades. These don't come up for sale very often. https://co... | |
| Anyone have heard of Tangent RS-8 speakers I a pair of RS6 I bought new in 1978 with the amp and preamp. I still have the original packing and boxes. They were very musical speakers except if driven hard they would blow the voice coils.Both my speakers still work well. They sound very nice... |
