| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Kevin; Thanks for the insightful response. Good to know. enjoy | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I think you are fine. If you purchased a good set of tubes from Upscale that is wonderful. My experience was different. They said the tubes were matched and within Audio Research specs. They weren't and it cost me over $3,000 to repair. I've ... | |
| Outlaw Audio repair Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Outlaw should work on their equipment. However, if it is grey market, most manufacturers won't. I don't really understand this because grey market or not, they did make the equipment. But, I guess their logic is... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? An interesting test is to do the measurements in a system that has subs with the test CD and sound level meter and see if it shows too much bass.enjoy | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? First of all, a lot of bass in some music is entirely unrealistic. I've been with many people listening to recorded music where some said bass was great and others including myself said the bass was over emphasized.Way too much.So the best way wa... | |
| Need repair shop for Cello Duet 350 George Meyer AV in Los Angeles. Very good quality, knowledgeable staff.Authorized service center for may manufactures, including Jadis, Audio Research, Mark Levinson and many others.Used them several times.Highly recommended.enjoy | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I remember a buddy of mine was interested in a new pre-amp upgrading from his existing Mark Levinson unit (forgot which one). He went to Upscale and they seriously pushed the Prima Luna top pre-amp. I told him to look at the Audio Research REF 6 ... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... No.Also, these things are measurable by science.It is just not worth it (Read cost effective) to spend considerable time and expense on cable directional issues for audio signals. For power transmission or distribution circuits from power systems,... | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Engineering wise, conductor signal direction makes no sense, especially since we are talking about AC signals that change directions anyway.However, before anyone says no. (Which I will quickly as an Electronics/Electrical Engineer), the real tes... | |
| Streaming vs. CD I stream using Qubuz through my Aurender music server/streamer. I purchased the Aurender ACS-10 unit because it allows for ripping my CDs to the internal hard drive and also to a backup NAS. Listening to the music via the internal hard drive vs ... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I remember as a Electronics Engineer designing and building Electronics for the Navy, we had a saying that a five thousand dollar part will protect a five cents fuse by blowing first. I can't tell you the number of times that the expensive part f... | |
| MSRP, diferentiation and the illusion of value I actually don't agree that Audiophiles don't give thought to the value (read, price) of equipment. They are very much aware of the value/price. Some either don't care, or the price is acceptable to them, or like me, they lose their @##?? mind ... | |
| Insuring Your Vinyl Collection and Equipment I agree with many here. One must really read their insurance policy to see exactly what is covered and what isn't covered. The insurance companies are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. they don't want to pay out anything if th... | |
| True or False? @rixthetrickI've never had a crossover I've designed fail on my sorry. When designing myself, I find the best parts I can find (within my price/budget range). Since it would be a one off project, I'm not worried about availability later.I was ... | |
| True or False? I totally agree about the earlier comment regarding listening skills. Very important.Put aside the issue of listening to different pieces in A/B comparisons without making sure the volume levels are accurately matched before listening. Because t... |
