| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @kosst.........the general public, like my sister, who enjoys music as much as myself, but she listens and enjoys music, through a Bose all in one table top system, and on her phone. The general public, I don’t think so. Just a handful here on the... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Besides efficiency, it is relative to the volume desired from the listening chair and the music being played. My home made 1 wpc class A amp ( a modified Citation 12 ), drives my Lascalas very well, but 1 or 2 notches higher on my preamp, or playi... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @lgoler It’s all good. I admit, very often when I post, my passion can get the best of me. Again, I do apologize. My dad also introduced me to Sinatra, Goodman, The Dorsey brothers, you name it. At 9 years old ( 1962 ) my dad gave me his Fisher 50... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @lgoler I apologize. FYI, I was one who wanted to help you. As far as audio gear being to expensive, look at the homes, automobiles, boats, planes, wines, clothing, jewelry, etc., that the wealthy can afford. Even the pure breed pets they purchase... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! lgoler....you seem to have abandoned another thread you started quite recently ( speakers for a 2nd home ), and now you started this one. Why should I respond to you ? Besides, I think this question of yours is ridiculous. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers So much about this subject already. @roberjerman. You are still at it I see. In some of my rigs, I have bypassed the fuses, and it made quite a difference. In other parts of my rigs, I have upgraded my fuses, and it has made a difference. I me... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Scotty Bratcher Band... In 2004, at just 17, when he released his 1st album. Self taught, blues rock, and a great talent. 3 album releases, but his 1st is, imo, amazing. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Speaker recomendation I hope we have not lost the OP, but.......if he is still reading this, my questions would be what does he use in his 1st home ( his bio indicates he has / had Gershman Acoustics AGs ) ? He knows something about sounds and music listening, and is p... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I leave my equipment on 24 / 7, it is ss. I have many amplifiers, but none have a stand by circuit. My understanding of a stand by circuit is very vague. Does stand by and being left on give the same warm up benefits ? | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote @nonoise Thx ! | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? @geoffkait that is just the tip of the iceberg. Besides, shadorne must know something so many manufacturers have missed in their designs. And he has a follower. | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? Wow, inadequate power supplies in my equipment. Shadorne, have you, or have you not, tried a different cord on any of your components ? You must have the only equipment who's power supplies are not woefully inadequate. @spotcheckbilly, thank you f... | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? @shadorne,@roberjerman, I always find it interesting when those folks who cannot hear differences in power cords ( as well as some other upgrades / tweaks ), claim these sonic differences do not / cannot exist, and then talk about voodoo or medita... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? George, I am not worried about a thing. Thank you for your concern. Enjoy ! | |
| B&K Sonata M200 + Polk Rti A9’s The m200s are also kind of old. My Nuforce STA 200 bettered them in every respect, even though the STA is less power and a single chassis. I gave them to a friend, who is going to do a complete rebuild. This was about a year ago, as the little Nuf... |
