| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 Not really sure why you think the Ohms are going to be an upgrade over Heresys.Oz | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS As mentioned above, you can source power tubes for a fraction of the cost stated, Bias accordingly and there is no difference. ARC is taking advantage of lazy people who don't do their homework.Oz | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? good value and are one of audio's best kept secrets. I'd have to argue that point, If you are even remotely interested in high end audio, Vandersteen is a household name to you.Oz | |
| Peachtree and Magnepan = No Bueno @ozzy62 Looks that way, thanks for the response. I wondering, with your Maggies what amplification did you use? Thanks. With the 3.5s I used McCormack DNA-1 deluxe monoblocks.And believe it or not, with the 1.6s I used a Music Reference RM9. N... | |
| Peachtree and Magnepan = No Bueno Never owned either the Peachtree or the 1.7.That said, I have owned Maggies before (1.6 and 3.5R) and I would be confident to say that Peachtree amps don't have the balls to drive Magnepans.Oz | |
| The CJ Premiere 12 was the best vintage tube amplifier ever. Best (insert just about anything here) = how long is a ball of string? | |
| How do you feel about a wheeled dolly permanently under large floorstanding speakers? Here is something no one has mentioned. Most high quality speakers require pretty precise positioning.

| Equipment purchase that made you want to get off the Merry Go Round (good or Bad) I don't understand the post.First you say the speakers you bought "aren't for you".Then you say "I am staying put for a long while unless something breaks."So what does that mean? You are keeping the speakers you don't like? Or you are keeping ... | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac My question is this.If you have a Node 2i, why is there even a computer in the chain? Does not compute.Oz | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. If the Heresy IV is anything like the CWIV, which it is, you will hear some major changes after a hundred or so hours. They will relax, the mids will smooth out, and the bass will fill in.Oz | |
| Amazon Music - how does it compare??? I had the Amazon lossless service for a while. I thought it was comparable to Tidal and Quobuz, but at the time the user interface was way behind. That may have improved by now.Oz | |
| Going back to whence I came... Thanks, but you know that's the beauty of freedom, you're not required to read it:) A little constructive criticism might do you good. | |
| Minimum standards within the High end speaker industry We are not talking about products that could endanger the public from a safety stand point. It's a damn speaker fer chrissake. It's a commodity that could be called a luxury item.So no, we don't need any minimum standards of manufacture for a ster... | |
