| Tube rolling: ARC VS110 Thanks jjss49. The problem is I don’t believe the VS110 won’t support the KT88. Thanks though! | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? Hello @chungjh, My apologies for the late reply. I humbly suggest that you approach it from a feasibility POV first: Will an amp of this size and configuration really work for you? By looking at a class of amp vs. looking at a specific brand or mo... | |
| Analog vs digital? Ah! Another Linn devotee. I too have an LP12/Valhalla which also got a tune up this year. New belt, cleaned and lubed bearing and a thorough recalibration of the suspension and tone arm. Pop would have been delighted with the result as its perform... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? Hello chungjh, I'm respectfully skeptical by your assertion that your speakers require >200wpc. In contrast, I have a pair of Acoustat 1+1s, 83 dB sensitivity, which I can play to delightfully loud levels with an ARC VS110 (115wpc) with subwoof... | |
| Why is black so popular for components? I'll echo what I think most are implying: It's the current trend. I also agree with what folk are saying about APAC in that they prefer gold tones. I had an SP3 in the gold color. It never bothered me enough to trigger my OCD though. Same with my... | |

| Question regarding subwoofers Ah, for those not familiar with the SB-1 subwoofer, it is passive: The power amp's speaker output goes into the Sub where it passes through the sub's crossover. The upper and mid signals then comes out of there to the full range panels. Inside the... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? All American Boy... Rick Derringer. $4.50 at Woolworth's in OH. Still have it too! | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Last night my wife and I sat by candlelight and listened with some adult beverages (Macallan12 for me, Zaya rum for her) and let Amazon lead the way. Although it was the Diana Krall channel, they play a bit of everything from Ella to Nat King Cole... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... @ tuberculin, I think FL is where the company was originally located? In any case, not that I don't appreciate the tip thank you, but shipping from Seattle would likely be twice what the speakers are worth. I'm not known especially for my rationa... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... m-db I got a kick out of your response. LOL So last night I showed my wife some pictures of the Spatial line and asked if they were acceptable esthetically. (While she enjoys the music, I don't want her cringing every time she walks into the liv... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... Thank you all for your kind thoughts and suggestions! I'd whinge a bit that most folks offered specific equipment suggestions vs. the conversation of "things to think about" I was hoping for but I think it's rather the nature of the beast being an... | |
| Maggies to Tekton? Interesting thread! When I divorced, my gear went into storage for 5+ years. It was older to begin with but when I finally got another place of my own where I could really settle in, I found getting my familiar gear out and setting it back up agai... | |
| One of the Best Stereo System in the World! Very impressive in both commitment and execution. I've no nits about the system. We love what we love, right? But... Those clocks. I'm thinking of music with quiet passages. The "tik-toc" from those would drive me buggy. We've a digital clock in o... | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? This year with both of us working at home full time, I got a beyerdynamic A20 and DT770 headphones. So she can watch her TV in the family room while I bliss out in the living room.I swapped out my speaker cables and most of my old interconnects fr... |
