| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? Nope, I still listen to the same old trash I always have. Now, even more - they keep remastering it! | |
| Ozzfest,can I handle it? Break out a musty old UFO or Triumph concert tee, preferably faded from black to grey/purple, and nobody will have any interest in you at all one way or another. | |
| Every make a purchase you truly regret? Monarchy Audio SE-100 Deluxe. Sounded great, but it was a dodgy piece of engineering, and I found Mr. Poon to be a poor manufacturer/designer to interface with. I moved on and bought a Musical Fidelity A3CR, much happier. I was very disappointed b... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Wave As Clueless points out, they're Auricaps, not "audiocaps". There are a few archived threads on Audiogon about the Wave-8's, but more directly to your capacitor question, that issue is discussed in more depth in a couple threads on Audio Asylum. Fr... | |
| B&K amps- Compared to ........... From my impressions, some say far better than Rotel, some say on par, some say worse - so call that a comparable ; )As for Classe and Bryston, I would guess most find those brands a little more accomplished, and accordingly (and sometimes much mor... | |
| Is 3 CH with a HT pre/pro better than 2 Channel 3 channel surround ("shallow surround") is great for near-field HT. I fully recommend it for small or shallow rooms, I use it in my bedroom system and it is beautiful for movies with 3 channels of Antique Sound Labs Wave 8 mono tube amps, a Panaso... | |
| Tube Pre for Klipschorn If you want even more noise, just use a home theater processor as a pre like I'm doing with my La Scalas. Every one I've tried is noisy when hooked up to horns.ps - I thought "tube rush" was an herbal remedy. | |
| A200 - should I keep? If the foam surrounds haven't been done (as per Sdecker's post), check out http://www.simplyspeakers.com/They can do them for you, or if you're willing to try it yourself (not for the squeamish), you can buy a kit. The BA "A" series were infamous ... | |
| Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s Tunes - I can see why you had such trouble spitting that out, it's bad news! I heard somewhere that the Wave 8 was produced as a loss-leader to get people interested in their brand. From their increased profile (or is it my increased awareness of ... | |
| Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s They DO sound fantastic, and they're a ludicrous value for the money. I have two pairs of them, using them fronts + center (one unused) in a second system. I replaced the stock tubes with NOS Sylvanias from '74, and they sound even better. They pr... | |
| Major Problems with Aleph Ono You're getting subsonic feedback. There is an archived thread with some informative and fun commentary on the subject:Learn > Forums > Analog > 1033049624 orhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1033049624&openfrom&11&... | |
| what's my problem? The Type 4 speaker cable, while not crap, certainly is a colored cable. It really humps the upper bass in many systems, and midrange can be congested.And I agree, run (don't walk) over there and yank the Monster 400's. Give them to someone you're ... | |
| old acurus integrated vs. separates vs. new nad From the options you've listed, it looks like you are spreading $600 across amplification AND preamplification. In that case, going with seperates would make for a fairly tight budget, but do-able. I simply don't see many integrateds with much pow... | |
| musical fidelity trivista sacd player I believe it's the cover to this month's Stereophile, but I could have it confused with any other month. | |
| Taste of Brazil. Os Mutantes. Hard to describe. "Anything is Possible" is a great compilation, should be all you need. A funky, psychedelic 60's bossa-nova pop, mostly. Acid-drenched, and I mean *drenched*! |
