| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Mercy the stuff you read from the uninformed and jealous. It’s one thing to not care for a brand, but to call great gear that has been around for as long as Mcintosh "MidFi" gear or elude that by using it your not in the audiophile community is as... | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? I work for Space X, stuff keeps blowing up. What's your point? Picky! and it's not suppose to blow up? What kind of fun is that? Party poopers | |
| Something odd going on with the forums... Decay I looked for you. You were gone. I thought, with a keystroke my buddy decay was disappeared. I'm leavin' this computer $hit to the hackers. :-) It's the Russians they are tryin' to Highjack AG people one at a time. Hold your breath and tuck ... | |
| Thorens TD 146 Thanks buddy.. | |
| Thorens TD 146 They have an auto stop. I swear I've never seen one. I've seen the clutch that was suppose to help with sudden stop, it could be the auto stop. I've replaced a few of those. The clutch fails or is broke off. I guy just fixed one of those too. He... | |
| Thorens TD 146 Well there is a TD146 and there is a TD146 IV (I think) I'm not sure because I've never seen one. They did what I call a type II of a lot of their TT. TD166 and the then the Type II slightly smaller footprint. It's an older Thoren it will be ... | |
| Dedicated Circuits - Subpanel importance? A sub panel is great for adding shorter runs. It add 220/240 if you want. I use it on my bass amps. Romex is for running on it’s own. No conduit. There is flex armor that meet code in the bay area. # 10 is great for a subpanel feed # 12 for 20 ... | |
| BAT VK3ix an upgrade from Freya +? Unless there is something wrong. A BIG upgrade. I've had both, stock it will better the Freya, if it has any upgrades it just gets better. 6922s (If I remember) I used Telefunken and Blackburns. I'm not a Line Stage guy. But BAT, VTL, AR are serio... | |
| Decisive moments your your audio journey 57s with Marantz tube and SS gear. Crazy party, I just tinkered with his stereo all night. The party room had JBLs and SS gear. I stayed in the 57s room. Like heaven to me. Nice set up. | |
| Speakers: same brand? The center speaker is the center of an HT system, if you forgo the center for any reason (you don’t like the clutter) the two mains have to pick up the center slack. I built a pair of OB lattice towers with 6 neo 8 planar each. They are only 7" w... | |
| DIY speakers OP are you really going to build those speakers that way? All kidding aside. Are you? Hypex module, and an active down firing sub driver? I’d rethink not enclosing that sub in a slot. BAD idea the whole floor will become a huge passive radiator co... | |

| Swapping Kt88 tubes on muzishare x7 for Kt150 The answer is NO. You want deeper bass correct? Reinforce the bass, move the monitors closer to the back wall. If they are on stands, beard the stands the width of the speaker from the base to the floor with just card board and watch how much the ... | |

| Do you trust your system? Some gear is reformed some is refurbished. :-) But a recording can be a crap shoot sometime. Janis Joplin has always been a favorite, but finding a great recording including some 15ips RtR 2nd masters, sucked. It was better than what I had but it... |
