| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day A few weeks ago the Fed Ex guy dropped off a big styrofoam cooler with Omaha Steaks….. they weren’t mine. I love steak…. It’s so good, but I did the right thing and brought the steaks to my neighbor a few streets over . I really believe in k... | |
| Conrad Johnson GAT preamp - ugly? I bet they would make it in black if you asked….. | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. Good guys and gals over at AV Therapy for sure. Bonus that there is no sales tax in NH so for me it’s worth the trip. | |
| Horn speakers are really bright? I had a pair of Epic C4, they rocked but I didn't think they were shrill of harsh. Same for my Heresy III. They were a little lean sounding without a sub but sounded great with 40 watts of EL34 power. I have the Forte IV and they sound gre... | |
| The New Western Electric WE91E 300B Integrated amp ? If they build that in house that's impressive | |
| Interested in finding a NAIM dealer on the east coast. A little bit of a drive but Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua NH is a Naim dealer. Not sure if they carry the whole line but they had a Uniti on display the last time I was there. Great people to deal with, give them a call. They are closed Mo... | |
| The New Western Electric WE91E 300B Integrated amp ? So who builds it for them? Does Western Electric have the capability to make that in house? I kind of doubt it. Would like to know who they collaborate with to build their products. | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? Good choice…. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I've been a long time owner of separates but agree today's integrated amps can be pretty awesome. Im having a 300b built that can be an "integrated" amp with it's two inputs and volume controls, but I plan on using it as a power amp with a pre ... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. Ozzy, it's similar to the 300b that was just reviewed in Part Time Audiophile. Basically the same options except the c3g driver . It's going to use Western Electric 300b for a little less than 8 w | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? I see a lot of my amp cost this and my speakers are this much.... it doesn't really matter what something costs. It can still be crap. Or it can be an unbelievable value for the money. I'd like to think my system is a sum of the latter. | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? My electronics (amp & preamp) probably cost 3 times my speaker. I have driven the same speakers with mediocre electronics and it's just not the same. | |
| GOOD TUBES, BAD TUBES Believe me, I know a tube has been in a socket a long time when there is discoloration only where the sockets contact the pin. 2mm i shiny, 6mm is brass looking and the last 2mm is shiny. It was in a socket. Without question. Dust was bake... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. Don't get me wrong, sound is paramount. My Zesto Leto isn't just another pretty face, it is a seriously good kick ass pre. Total impulse buy, it's looks had nothing to do with buying it. Turned out to be a killer piece. | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. I'm having a Toolshed Amps 300b built right now. I will admit that a few years ago when I saw Matt's designs I though they looked really cool. Then after talking to him I realized that his amps were special , not just because they are completel... |
