Talk but not walk?
"In some cases, like many expensive esoteric tweaks, there is little or no empirical information offered by anyone, including vendors. Why should people try that?"Hi MapmanIf I was a client not the vendor, I wouldn’t trust most of HEA. HEA should ... 
Talk but not walk?
Hi NonoiseYep, we have a no trolling policy on our forum and to be honest people would look pretty foolish trolling TuneLand. TuneLand is 100% empirical.There's a few examples on here that happen a lot on HEA forums that don't happen on ours and o... 
Magical Marantz 22## receivers
Hi KosstThat's more than likely why. The 3400 doesn't have any bigger caps. I went down to the shop just a few moments ago and looked at a circuit board close up and didn't find any residue. I'm going to have the guys check as well, we're pretty p...

Hi KosstThe Pioneer SX-3400? Where specifically on this unit? I've been tuning these specific units for many years now without anything failing on any of them. Are you sure they are talking about the 3400?I'm happy to reinvestigate, I have 4 of th...

Hi KosstSorry that I gave the wrong impression. Now that I look back on the OP, I realize he was talking about the Marantz 22..s. The units that I get in are the entry level Pioneer, Technics and such. Very light weight and low mass. For example I...

I love the sound of the old goodies, just received another 3 of them this week. You have to know which ones are the special sounding ones. And yes they get much better with age. I don’t like the sound of anything complicated and I mechanically tun... 
What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
The HEA of the 80's can't realistically survive in 2018-forward. It's decline has been happening since the mid 90's, no surprise here. I can't imagine folks thought the over built over priced hobby was going to interest the modern Audiophile. Audi... 
Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ?
Did I just get trolled by bdp24? Now that’s funny :)To what do I owe the honor of being trolled on a used HEA forum?I’m not sure if I know more than Art or not, never studied together. But, I have about 100,000 clients who might think they know mo... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
I'm not sure about other readers or members but when I pop in on an HEA forum and see 420 responses on a topic like this (where the answer is fairly obvious) in only a weeks period of time, why does my mind see a bunch of senior citizens with thei... 
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
Thank You :)Michael Greenwww.michaelgreenaudio.net 
Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!!
I think readers should also take into account the hobby of RTA is a hobby all on it's own. Whether it plays a big part in the hobby of listening to a soundstage or not sometimes is irrelevant. Keep in mind that a lot of guys who are in the RTA hob... 
How much acoustic room treatment
Hi Guys, thought I would jump in here since I am RoomTune.The reason I designed RoomTune and the whole MGA family of products is so you can become your own listening expert. Just like every recording is unique, every playback situation is as well.... 
Yesteryears' expensive speakers compared to modern moderately expensive speakers
Hi arafiqIf I were spending over $500.00 (sometimes less) on speakers I would be looking into if the speaker is going to be used in a living room or dedicated listening room (that's first on my list). The more complicated a speaker is designed the... 
High End is Dead?
Thanks treljaIt's been very nice reading the emails I've been getting from the members. And, nice reading the responses here on the forum directly. AudioGon forum mods deserve a thank you as well for letting me come up a share so much of the Tune ... 
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
"Myself, I collect and use the best vintage gear from the Golden Age of High End - 1965 - 85! That was when the most innovative (and affordable!) stuff was made! Since then prices have only risen for NO real advances in sound quality!"This is an o...
