| Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables I have an early 80's Pioneer PL-L800 that I found in a thrift shop for $15. It had no cartridge, so they couldn't test it. I took it home and to be cautious, I installed a simple Ortofon Omega ($36) cartridge. It plays great and it's one of the... | |
| What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system? I made (8) 4' x 2' x 2" panels, with fabric, mounting hardware and shipping costs for just over $200 with products from ATS Acoustics.I mounted 6 of these in my home office and it made a dramatic improvement in the sound of my system. The other 2... | |
| Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice! I'm amazed how many people here are so quick to accuse the seller, with 18 years of positive feedback on Agon, to be a scammer. OP, have you just tried calling and speaking with the seller? Maybe do a facetime call where the seller can demo the ... | |
| Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ? Which model of SF speakers are they for? $1200 might not be too bad if they're for a set of Strad's or Elipsa's. I would want them to be perfect and include each piece of internal packing, though. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so I’d check out the offerings from the following, (in no particular order):Accuphase, Luxman, McIntosh, Krell & Devialet. | |
| Trust You could also have a friend/ relative or forum member go and look at the speakers for you. If the seller has good feedback, then my biggest fear would be shipping damage. | |
| TIDAL on SALE! Thanks for the heads-up! | |
| About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience? I just purchased all the materials from ATS Acoustics and built everything myself. The finished products are great and my listening room is a whole new animal, now. It really changed the room for the better. For just over $200, I was able to make ... | |
| Phono preamp or preamp with phono selection ???? Hopefully after 16 years, the OP made a decision... | |
| Good quality wireless, active speakers ?? Hopefully after 4 years, the OP made a decision. | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! Big, used PA speakers would be great.Or....2 sets of used 901's (with EQ's). /runs and hides....:D | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound IMO, "upgrading" a fuse is like upgrading a 1" section of the hot wire contained in the romex, somewhere between your breaker panel and the outlet. | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) In my opinion, you're just used to the way your B&W's sounded to you, for 15 years of use. You're ears and brain may adjust over some time to accept the new speakers. I've tested identical speakers, one set new out of the boxes and the other... | |
| Small Footprint (compact) amp to power speakers? I would search for a "desktop" integrated amplifier. You'll find some great options from Marantz, Peachtree, etc. that may fall into your price range if you buy used. | |
| Classe Model 4 and Model 25 I can't comment on the preamp, however I do have a Model Ten amplifier and it is very nice. It makes any speaker I run off of it just sing. That amplifier family is one heck of a performance bargain now, IMO. |
