| RIP Meat Loaf I personally knew one and know 3 more that got covid SARS, the original BA, strain of the disease. June of 2020 one caught it, it killed him 8 weeks later. My son in law and grandson both are just getting over it. 5-7 days, two day of fever and c... | |
| Question about sound stage Turn off ALL room correction and set your tone controls flat and center the balance. Take your phone and check the SPL of the speakers first. Be as accurate as you can. IF the SPL is correct with tone burst, not music, turn around and see if the ... | |
| New Tubes Most gear today is voiced with JJ or EH, both are good stable valves. I don't think really good NOS valves will sound much better. This unit uses WiMa caps they have a sound more so than the actual valve. Both are very neutral, JJ or EH and Wima. ... | |
| Tube amp repair. Is there a bias adjustments on each side. The desired voltage is written on the side 2V. There should be pots for the 6SN7 too. They are under the plate. Check the bias first, then it's most likely a bad valve. They have a soft start circuit, no n... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I've had to fix a few and they are a picky speaker too. Watt Puppies. Both times the bass sucked after someone replaced the surrounds. Both times the fix was surrounds from the right guy and then redo the work.. Sounded like they were suppose to. ... | |
| From APPJ to Old Buffalo, then tweaked OB til it sang like CARY 300B These are modified by Dodd Heath W5. One of the best I've heard. I had a two pairs that were very close. Cryin' shame they were stolen in 2016. The insurance came through but by that time Dodd was impossible to get an appointment with.. I was... | |
| What are your favorite "HOT" songs? What is cool I heard all these band live too. I'm still a Bay Area person. Of all the great guitar players I've heard live. Carlos always was the smoothest. Never TOO loud, BUT loud enough. Stanly Clark/Jeff Beck/Tony Williams Sr was a close secon... | |
| Bose 10.2's russ69 is being very nice. He is a good guy. Me I'm gonna be blunt. Start somewhere else. I think everyone over 50 has had some experience with Bose. Most have moved on that are here on AG. Not to say the old series I 901s couldn't take a heck ... | |
| What are your favorite "HOT" songs? Ops! Thanks tablejockey! Ok "Hot Rod Lincoln". :-) Commander Cody and his lost planet. | |
| From APPJ to Old Buffalo, then tweaked OB til it sang like CARY 300B i ordered expensive capacitors from the once decent but now criminally odious Hificollective in U.K. (gonna report them to the police soon...) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<... | |

| Honesty is the best policy...I think. You say SKUNKS Dad? This dog will mess with a skunk big time.. Usually not get skunked.. Usually.. | |
| Honesty is the best policy...I think. I would tell the truth all right. Want add: For Sale Bla, Bla Bla Then explain: The PS is a wonderful unit that when maintained properly will offer the user a great product. As with all PS XXX. A simple reboot once a month keeps the unit refre... | |
| Infinity Reference 90’s Here is a start. Look and see, take lots of pics inside your speakers. I'd look at both crossovers. Do a good inspection on the surround too. They are one of the main reasons they loose their lower end response. Easy to change and Infinity fac... | |
| preamplifier after preamplifier? The one thing I really like with a DCX2496 is I can run Behringer amps with it and they are made for each other. I use up to 3 NU12,000. All the drivers are direct coupled, no crossovers between the power amps and subs. About 2000 watts @ 8 ohms ... |
