| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! Kosst, HiFi is growing, to the audiophile market, not the general public. There are numerous new audio product companies popping up all of the time, and those existing, introducing new products. You need to separate the "audio community " from the... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Dick Olsher, in the Absolute Sound, gave them a nice review back in November of 2012. Another nice review was written by Jeff Dorgay in Tone....... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @mitch2 I have owned a few pieces of Steve’s equipment, including his original line drive unit ( which I understand was not buffered ). I still always preferred a preamp. Maybe I should try a device as you are suggesting. BTW, I always read your c... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? So, impedance matching, and gain, are both important ? | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers I meant to say Walnut oil and Oak oil. Also, the crossovers have always been housed in the mid / tweeter section. That's all. Thank you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers @steve59 The couple of main differences between the early Lascala and the series II, are : ( 1 ) went from 3/4 inch birch ply to 1 inch birch ply and MDF, in the cabinet design. The dog houses ( woofer sections ) were resonant in the originals. Th... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @trelja Victor is as nice a guy you could ever meet. A great salesman ( not like the old type car salesman ). Charming, passionate, and a real lover of music / equipment. Enjoy ! MrD. | |

I have a large assortment of amplifiers, included a few pro amps, which all have input gain controls. Using these amplifiers, I have a choice, of keeping the controls on the amps at max, a... | |
| My Quicksilver preamp inverts polarity Throughout my systems, I have an Adcom GDA 700 and an Audio Alchemy DDE V 3.0, and they both have phase switches. So it was known way back then that many cds were recorded out of phase ( as well as some equipment reversing phase ). Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade Hearing it " Live " must have been incredible. No one mentioned Peter Cetera's version, with backing vocals by Madonna, lol. Enjoy ! MrD. | |

| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! Yes, there are many audio products that can be considered reasonably priced. If the money is available, the room large enough, and a proper amp used to drive them ( proper room set up as a given ), I do think the MBLs are a reasonably priced pair ... | |
| bose 801 speakers A pair of 901s, set up properly ( hung from the ceiling ), with a solid and smooth back wall, with excellent gear feeding them ( such as the Mac the OP uses, and good interconnects to and from the EQ ), will surprise many listeners. Their presenta... | |
