Bohlender-Graebener Radia 520
Yea inspect the planar as much as you can top to bottom.  Once you get hooked on the speed and accuracy it's hard to go back.  The only problem is it's a single driver.. If one takes a dump .LOL You got a great center speaker..Might be tough to fi... 
Schiit Freya+(Plus)
Ok I started a discussion, not realizing this one was here. I need a little advise, on valves. I’m not very familiar with the tube complement in the Freya +. I heard this unit off and on for over a month with stock valves.I could see it was quite ... 
Bohlender-Graebener Radia 520
I heard these in a 5.x surround system. They were the side/rears. Mains were Monsoons.  I heard them at shows quite a few years bach, too. If you're a planar person you'll be happy. If your not a planar person you'll be happy. I really haven't use... 
Bi amping question
Do you have the left and right mixed up on the bass section, swap them left to right and see if the test tone only comes out one speaker then.Just a thought.. I've done it...Regards 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
thyname674 posts04-23-2020 12:44pmLOL!! This must be the most preposterous (I am trying to be nice) post I have seen in years in this hobby. Voiding the warranty for using a power cord other than the stock power cord?? LOL!! I was reading at De...

The blister on the transformer cover, is something to be concerned about. The "why" more than anything..That's hot!!Pulling the top on the transformer and doing a "look see", if you can. If it's burnt, it's burnt.. The ol sniff test goes a long wa...

The Forest for the Trees
One thing I enjoy more than anything else. I’m working on something, it’s not going quit to plan, and in the background that perfect song comes up,on the MC, or a playlist, or in my head.. Go over listen for a minute, put the song on you were thin... 
More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
You know I read your question again. What about a single double 8" or 12" OB  servo, like GR Research.  That would fit the bill of purest, a little better.  The H or W frames pressure the room in a way that's not near as intrusive as a conventiona... 
Cary Audio CAD-280SA V12R
  decooney264 posts04-21-2020 7:58amThe Hexfreds just added a little faster/tighter bass in my former V12R.  I felt having the right coupling caps and interconnects was most rewarding. Overall, the stock EL34 Ruby (Shuguang made EL34BSTR) tubes w...

Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
Must make my acquaintance with bass columns, as you should with horn subs, be they Tapped Horns of Front Loaded Horns - if you haven’t already. I agree with you here. My first real system had a Jensen imperial sub a a pair of Imperial horns. LO...
