| White Van Speakers ? I haven't see a 'whitevan' in decades. I thought they got a flat tire, mugged, and then quit the business.In what city (neighborhood?) have you seen them operating? | |
| Why no as many post about music vs equipment...... Because this is, primary, an equipment forum. Folks whose prime interest is in music look at forums elsewhere. | |
| Morrow audio Introduces new cables from 4 to 6k I don't think much. Especially about how Morrow conducts his business. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damm!" | |
| Need a cdp Out of curiosity, did you clean the lense. Just might work if you haven't. | |
| Do I need to use filler in my speaker stands? Well, I don't know how much it will actually change the sound, I doubt much if any really, but it will add ballast and help stabilize your speakers and keep them from easily tipping over. I would do it myself for that if no other reason. I would a... | |
| is there a way to tighten pins in tube sockets? Yes. If you look at the sockets you'll see copper wires in socket grooves, bent over towards the outside of the socket. You can insert something behind this wire, between it and the socket wall, and bend it forward. It won't take much, just a tad.... | |
| Why we should support music... Maybe it's too obvious but, Support Home Audio! Thats what is dying, at least as we know it it is. Music is in good health and will continue to be so. :-) | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Bama, If you're still around....I just noticed a thread asking about some Perreaux stuff, an Amp, Preamp and the TC (short for tone controls). I put this in my SP10 in the 80's to do just what you are trying to do. Its really transparent and will ... | |
| Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner Accuphase T100 is outstanding. It's AM too - it was my 8th tuner and last. Great reception and slightly warm tonal balance without getting too tube like. Excellent bass. Weighs and ton - built like a tank. Mine is over 30+ years old - the only pro... | |
| Amp hiss through speakers? Possibilities - 1) Tubes are not 'low noise tubes' and your amp requires low noise tubes; 2) Speakers are too efficient and reveal the noise floor of your amp; 3) A combo of 1 & 2, 4) Hearing a volume control when it rotates (I assume you are ... | |
| Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging Have you considered that speakers have different radiation patterns and how they perform can be affected by both set up and toe in. Some want to be heard well off axis (pointed straight ahead) and some work best toed in? When I encounter those spe... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Bama, Nice post. A couple of comments on speaker/listening chair location/set up. Keep an open mind on this because some of it is not intuitive and conrtary to customary set up.1) Set the speakers up so that the speakers/listening chair form an eq... | |
| Made in America For me it is hard to get nationalistic when buying most anything. Some of the worst products I have purchased in the last 20 years have been American made. Fortunately most of my high end USA audio stuff was pretty good after it settled in and got... | |
| Does fair trade still exist "Fair trade" is no longer legal but contracts between manufacturers and retailers usually make it appear that they will sell at the same price or lose their contract. Often it is nothing more than an agreement not to advertise at any price less th... | |
| Dealer selling B stock doesn't tell customers Funny thing, I just saw this post on AA. Don't you go there?Just in case you missed it, short of qualifying disclosures to the contrary revealing it to be less than 1st quality new product, that would be fraud! Sort of the law in most jurisdiction... |
