| Thiel Owners duramax Apologies if you covered this already, but can you clarify what you plan on doing "With the crossover changes I am making in the 7.2" I have lived with Thiel CS7.2 speakers for a number of years now, so I'm curious what changes you would... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi, a +1 for Coherent Source Service for providing re-built tweeters for a older pair of Thiel CS2.3 speakers. I bought them from a local guy who had rattle-can spray painted them black!! Of course, the tweeters were blown, but I got them at a low... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Hi, I live in the Denver area, so I can pick up and drop off my items at their location in nearby Erie, CO. I save a ton on shipping, particularly if the item is heavy. So far, I have sold to TMR: two preamps (ARC and Mytek), three sets of mono a... | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM @rsf507. if you're serious, get out of this if you can. Just saying. | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM I was a first hand observer of the SCAM. It's absolutely true. | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse +1 to everyone who said "go on a road trip". If you can afford the speakers and the cost of the road trip, make it an adventure. I bought the entry level Avalon NP Evolution 2.0 speakers for my son's system (on a road trip where he agreed to th... | |
| two channel speaker/equipment consultant +1 Fatdaddys and jayctoy comments. It's quite possible that the speakers need a lot more playing time to come to full bloom. +1 inagroove. Learn to trust your own ears on what you like. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? IMHO an amplifier change can really change the system sound. But so can a good preamp. Or a speaker change. Or room treatments. But I don't have any direct experience with any of the components that you currently have, so .... YMMV. | |

| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Try a tube preamp with a solid state amplifier. Some of the ARC preamps only have a couple of 6H30 tubes. A slice of tube heaven, but greatly reduced tube costs. | |
| Starting my showroom again The internet audio equipment market is wide open to any participant, and equipment made in low cost labor markets offers incredible value to someone who is fiscally conservative. Anecdotally, I have recently spoken with two brick-and-mortar store ... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? When I was working, I traveled a lot for my job. In the late afternoons and evenings, I would visit brick-and-mortar stores to listen to a wide variety of CD players, amps, and speaker combinations. And I read reviews. In the early 90's, I bought ... | |
| It’s all a matter of degree I can long periods with no changes in my system. Sometimes a component fails and I need an alternative for a period of time. Then the merry-go-round starts and I read everything that I can to make a considered choice. I typically buy quality used... | |
| Other factors affecting sound I would suggest a whole house surge suppressor in your main panel. (uses 2 spaces). Secondly, one or two dedicated 20Amp circuits to the site of your equipment stack. Third, I have used rockwool insulation in several recent remodeling projects. I... | |
| Is Nakamichi Receiver 1 and CD Player 2 still worth enough to try and sell? I have sold a variety of used equipment to The Music Room, in Erie, CO, including an older Nakamichi MusicBank MB-1, a 7 disk CD player. I had a similar issue with the CD player. It appeared to be dead when taken out of storage, but I exercised t... |
