| Looking for some Hafler XL-600 Amp service/repair references Did you check the speaker output fuse ? I believe, in mono it is a 10 amp fast blow fuse that is recommended from the manual ( I owned these amps ). | |

| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? As I understand the nostalgia thing ( owning some of these products over the years ), the worst of it, ime / imo , are the speaker switching, and the output relays, in most of these units. Yes, convenience, and a way of protection ( same for speak... | |
| Yamaha C-4 and Wells Audio Majestic help Feed the Majestic ( or any other integrated amp or preamp ) from the Yamaha’s tape rec out ( I would use tape 1 ), and make sure to switch the Yamaha’s front panel rec out to phono. This bypasses all tone controls, the volume and balance controls,... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan......We have been speaking via PM, but, I want to come out in the open about what I mentioned to you. Without listening, you ordered the Pass pre and Bryston amp. You could have done worse. Maybe not even better at those prices, simply d... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Helo.......you are convinced, that is for sure. Always nice exchanging words with you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Speaker designs marketed for older audiophiles ? Really ? Ridiculous. Speakers need brake in time, for sure ( everything does ), and I am assuming these are used, but still might need break in time. Although very clean sounding speakers, they are ... | |
| I have a set of professionally balanced Hafler amps. I need a good preamp for the system I find the Haflers to be on the warm side. Have they had any modifications ? If you buy the Freya ( the + would be my recommendation ), you will need a phono preamp. You might want to consider going passive ( I have ). The Freya gives you that opt... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV 10 db of bass ?....= 10 hz of bass. Guys ( and gals ). You need to look at some of the pro versions of the Heresy’s..........again, nothing new with the ported design, except for the port itself. R.D. had much to do with the design of the pro mode... | |
| Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer ! The 1st 2 sentences of jsautter’s post above, makes sense. However, speakers, like ice cream flavors, are very personal. As much as I have spoken highly about Klipsch ( horns in general ), I have been honest, at least, in saying, they are not for ... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan, obviously, you have gotten several relies ( replies, lol ), and please keep in mind, suggestions and recommendations, are generally made, based on what people like, for themselves. A thread that is in it's 3rd day, is not an old thread ... | |
| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? These older receivers incorporate so much wire, switches, and cram things up against one another. Some are beautiful to look at, and actually sound ok. But, that is all. The prices they are going for, is ridiculous, imo. YMMV...... | |
| Nuforce STA200 A couple hundred hours for break in. Leave it on, continuously, with music playing through it, if possible. The question of vertical bi-amp....I feel it is significant, but this goes with many dual amps I have had experience with. As far as a purc... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV I have mentioned before, on other threads, that Klipsch has made the Heresy design, in pro models, for years, and all have been ported. This is nothing new for them. I believe the IV is a big upgrade, over the III. | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan, welcome to the ’Gon. I am about a 2 hour drive from you. You can read some of my posts. If you have interest, we can exchange phone numbers, and set up a time for you to come listen to my system, with you music selections ( my system is... |
