| Another Rhanson739, as knowledgeable and experienced as I am, or, think I am, with this hobby of recorded music listening, I do not have a recommendation for you. I will say, as my finances, and my life (in general) are not what they once were, I no longe... | |
| Another Rhanson739, no harm intended. I am finding it odd, that in your original post, you did not mention the need to replace your amp, because of faulty and reliability issues. The amp, on a sonic standpoint, seemed to do everything you wanted an amp to... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I still think some older Klipsch, with some mods, are the way to go. I still enjoy my modded Lascala's, in 1 room, and my modded CF 2's, in another. Musically, more right, than wrong. | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I like this thread, because, some of us hear differences when tweaking, and some bash it as snake oil. I am on the side, that every tweak I have done, to my systems, and others ( and it has been a lot in over 45 years ), has made a sonic differenc... | |
| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? I purchase Coconut oil from Costco, and found it to be excellent as a wood polisher/conditioner. | |
| NAD 787 receiver.. Will satisfy audiophile? I have a NAD 763 receiver, in which the digital inputs no longer work. As a stereo receiver, this unit sounds amazing to me. If I am losing any merit here, on Audiogon, so be it. I have driven any number of speakers, including my modified Klipsch ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I have been a Klipsch fan for a long time, owning many other designs, brands and models. Owning several pair of Klipsch models, from (all modified) Lascalas, to Epic CF2s, F3s and KG4.2s, I find them to be quite lifelike, and, they all do well wit... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. I was a Tice dealer, and, the closer you put the clock to the source, the smoother it all sounded. I had a few customers who heard dramatic differences, others, subtle. I am not saying there isn't snake oil in this industry, nor any other, for tha... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Near field listening eliminates the reflections often associated by room interaction. It is the ideal way to listen, but most of us live in a "living" environment, and might not be practical. Yes, the speaker plays a large part as well, as some do... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers I am wondering. How many of you can make a claim that the "system" sounds as good from 12 feet away as it does 4 feet away ? Kiddman does. I envy his system, and, his room. Maybe, even his ears. Disagreeing is sure fun. MrD | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Kiddman, I am happy for you. Just expressing my experiences. I would not expect on Audiogon the lack of disagreements. Enjoy ! Mr.D | |
| Calling all Horn lovers IME one of the most important set up requirements for horns is the distance between the horns and the listener. Much more critical, to my ears, than with any other speaker types. I am not saying this is not critical with all other types of speaker... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Horns, for me, recreate "live" better than anything else. | |
| Omar Bose... Onemug, thank you for your response. I seem to remember anything and everything having to do with audio and music, memory, being what it is. Listening to music is all about having fun ! MrD. | |
| Omar Bose... Early in my audio career, I was part of a Bose demonstration at a hotel in NY for the audio retail community. We connected a model 901 to an electrical outlet for about 8 minutes, showing that, the drivers can withstand a lot of current, and, the ... |
