| ? about Smoking Power Amp The cost of a tech’s repair might be more than the value of the amp, so that must be considered. I have several amps in my collection that would sell below $200., and they all work great. But if 1 of them failed and I could not do the repair mysel... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under ozzy62, if you have done any damping, to your horns, woofer backets, and isolating the mid horn and the crossovers from the boxes ( vibrationally ), your LS IIs could not be a better reproducer to my LSs. I also heavily damped and added mass to th... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under For me, horns are the way to go. I have owned all the Klipsch Heritage models ( not all of the different series ), and I feel the Lascala, which I own, offers the best bang for the buck. Of course, they need some attention with vibration and reson... | |

| Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory? Big CCR fan. All favorites for sure, but " Keep On Chooglin ", which I have on a cd called " CCR At The Movies ", really showcases the " genius " of the band, and the engineers involved with making it. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? Through my modified Signet floor standers, it is easily heard, the advantages of bi wiring and, passive bi amping. What a different set of characteristics, between running the system, horizontal vs. vertical. Using many different pairs of the same... | |
| What would your "perfect speaker" sound like. I have owned this particular pair of Lascalas for over 20 years, and after my extensive damping of the " entire " design, everything stock , and the non popular AL crossovers ( built for a short time, but my favorite of them all ), I get out of th... | |
| Amp repair My tech is Kris Rhoades - Fine Tuned Audio - Winter Springs, Florida. His partner is set up in Arizona - Awesome ! | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? This kind of thread is the reason I spend less and less time on Audiogon. My best, MrD. | |
| Passive preamp OP, What do your ears tell you ? BTW, this topic has been discussed, ad nauseam. As some say, it can work, and as others say, it does not. As audphile 1 stated above, everything matters, and as he suggested, you can eliminate your Frida ( sorry, I... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. Speakers ( and the room ) are the most specific of importance, in contributing to the sound one achieves, and it boils down to what you like, and what you want. I have owned Maggies, Apogee Duettas, and ML CLSs, and I understand why people love th... | |
| Poll: Most impactful component For me, it has been my Klipsch Lascalas. I did work on getting rid of the nasties inherent in the design, with great success, and they do everything I want them to do, connecting me with the musicianship / performance, of EVERY recording I listen ... | |
| Can you give me your speaker suggestions? If you still own the H3s, I would damp the mid horn, tweeter horn, and the woofer basket, with Dynamat, and use the factory enclosures. I would buy a Class A, ss amp ( I can recommend a few if you go in this direction ), and if you like tubes, use... | |
| running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's] To the OP......If your speakers are bi-wirable / bi-amp able ( have 4 connectors on the back, 2 for bottom end and 2 for mid/top end ), 2 identical amps, as the pair of Js, would be best off to passively, vertically bi-amp. One amp per speaker. On... | |
| Been intrigued by this power amp since it was introduced. Yes, another " D " thread. So, I did have a Warp One here for a couple of months ( bought new from Wally ), and, I did not like it in my system. My best bud also bought one...and he loves it. The only " D " amp I have not tried, still, is a GAN. I am currently enjoying, imm... |
