| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? I'm with Wolf, I'm loving my Heresy III... will it be my last speaker? Unlikely but I doubt I will ever sell them. They are a lot of speaker for the money and do a lot of things well. A lot of fun to listen to. | |
| Will decent speakers always out do headphones? They are totally different experiences and I always prefer speakers but nothing wrong with a really good set of phones.I've been separated about six months, right before I left I bought pair of Grado RS2e and a Rupert Neve headphone amp and it w... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Me too...except for my sub. That I use a Velodyne SMS 1 to apply low pass filter / slope / EQ only to the sub. I run the mains full range....I use a conrad johnson Classic 2SE. I love the simplicity and sonic signature of this pre. It is fully... | |
| Good FM tuner for around $1K I have a MD 102 and it is excellent and can be found resonably... I sent my MD90 in for repair and rather than repair and upgrades I just traded it toward a MD102. You should check out their certified used page on their site.... | |
| Need some new (NOS) 6cg7's. Brent Jessee Recording in IL is a great source for NOS | |
| Classe Model Ten or McCormack DNA-125? Or...? Classe is good stuff no doubt, but things are very rocky service wise with their recent problems. I also had a DNA 225 on loan and it was great bit at the 125 fit my budget and needs better... great amps. | |
| Top resale value speakers Speakers are the component that loses the most value in my opinion. Only a few select brands retain value ... Sonus and Quad come to mind but there are so many that lose 50% right out the door.I think most gear takes a beating , I purchased a ... | |
| Noise from preamp Pick up some gold lion 6922 and it will probably be quiet.... cj pre amps that use the 6922 are tough on them and lesser tubes will get noisy in just a few months. The Russian 6H23n eb is a great tube thats rugged too but tough to find and ove... | |
| Calling all conrad johnson afficianos .... I have a Classic 2SE and was originally using it with an amp with too high input sens. At 8 o’clock on the volume it was almost too loud. I swapped that amp with a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos which happened to be much lower input sens. and power... | |
| Is the NHT xd System worth buying today? Its a killer system....esp for it's size | |
| Classe Model Ten or McCormack DNA-125? Or...? I had a DNA 125 and it was a great amp, I used with a RLD-1 with good results, although pairing it with a c-j Classic 2 SE proved to be an even better combo. It's right at home with more expensive gear and is a huge value used.It's definitely an ... | |
| Tube tester: Orange VT 1000 I wanted to try one but it does not do 6dj8/6922.... it is geared toward the musician crowd. | |
| Carver Power Amps I had a 1.0t, 1.5t and 4.0t when I was in my late teens, early 20s.... not bad amps but I swapped the 1.5 out for a pair of B&K M200 Sonatas rated at 200w each. Those B&K walked all over the Carver. Used them with a pair of Paradigm St... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? I love my Heresy III , unfortunately they've been boxed up for 6 months... just got them to my new place and am picking up a nice BDI rack in the morning... can't wait to fire them back up this weekend. They sound way better than that Altec bl... | |
| Woofers in or out? I would have also started with woofers out and experiment if possible with the distance between side and rear walls... I'm also wondering if facing them toward each other would have a null effect and reduce bass? |
