| Upscale RCA Jacks - McIntosh This is truly funny to read. Sometimes I make my own cables and for decent quality cables I use Canare cables and connectors. Their top connector fits so tight, that on lesser expensive electronics it will rip out the metal part of the connectors ... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Wow, the negativity is amazing sometimes. Yes, some manufacturers do come out with new (updated, or latest and greatest) products very quickly. For many reasons. 1)Keeping their names out there so people would think they are on the cutting edge (e... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k It is funny to read all the negative responses. Many manufacturers come out with the "latest and greatest" periodically. I mentioned in previous posts that manufacturers have to keep their name out there, and with the exception to the very poor an... | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... Although my music server sounds wonderful connected to my Audio Research DAC, the separate CD Transport that I use still sounds slightly better connected to the same DAC. Even when I swapped the inputs from optical to RCA for both. So, when I real... | |
| Another audio dealer bites the dust I meant to write " that does not mean that they are not quality products" Sorry Wilson. | |
| Another audio dealer bites the dust Harri009: I actually laughed when I read your post. I agree with your assessment of the Wilson Speakers. Wow! However I stay firmly rooted to my believe that an object, house, piece of equipment, car, etc. is worth what a person is willing to pay ... | |
| Another audio dealer bites the dust I've said it many times. Too many of us go to the stores to demo equipment and make up their minds and then order on-line for lower prices. I've tried hard to buy books and equipment from my local stores, because I want the brick and mortar stores... | |
| Daisy Chain Your Front End The Problem that Dcizmok isn't addressing is that on the AC signal (that is eventually transformed into a DC voltage/current) is system noise. Unless the power supply in your equipment is really well designed and built, the AC noise isn't filtered... | |
| Daisy Chain Your Front End Here is my progression. with my system, I started out using a Monster Power Signature HTPS 7000 unit, with every low level piece plugged in to the Monster (pre-amp, CD, DAC, TT, Tuner, Phono Stage) and the amps into their own dedicated line to the... | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store Here's an idea. Find out what stores are within a few hundred miles of you and take a weekend trip to fly down (Southwest Airline,etc.) fairly inexpensive. Stay a hotel nearby, contact the dealer and tell them you plan on coming by to audition som... | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair Who did you send your amp to for repair. I am interested to know where not to do business. | |
| Reason for selling is... I do want to know why the seller is selling the equipment. If they lie, then that is on them later. But, if the equipment is faulty or damaged, then I would want to know that before purchasing. Don't you ask the same question to people selling use... | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? I recently had to change my mind and renig on a prospective purchase of two mono amps that I have been looking for forever because of a tragic turn in my life that demanded my immediate attention and made it so I could not focus or afford the amps... | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? I am an Electrical Engineer also. I have designed, built and modified many amplifiers, crossovers, speakers, and other equipment. My criteria for purchasing amps are:1. Cost. It must be within my price range.2. Sound quality in my system (not in t... | |
