| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS If you have dealer close enough to listen to some QLN towers, would definitely sit down check them out. Don’t let there size fool you, fantastic speakers. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. OP thats a good move and Fritz speakers are very nice and he is I super nice guy, $5000 can buy a nice speaker in the used market there are a lot out there take your time and have fun don’t forget about Joseph Audio Pulsars if you have enough power. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. I think the reference 3a Decappo would be a sideways move against your Fritz and you might prefer the Fritz, I own a pair. Try the Ref 3a Reflectors 92 db 8 ohm they are a total different speaker but same flavor as Decappo. It’s just a speaker tha... | |
| In need of a preamp with a prominent display I really liked the display and 100 step volume on the BAT also second the Audio Research. | |
| Preamp issue I was advised by Denafrips to touch the dac chassis with one hand before touching the buttons with the other hand. I’m guessing to ground the dac. I found that odd. I don’t know if the static charge can damage a preamp but they are connected with... | |
| Preamp issue Hi, did you touch the Pontus when the pop happened, I think there is something in the way the Pontus is wired that static hits it, mostly in the winter time. I had the same problem, there was a definite pop and it originated from the Pontus. I... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp Should have said a pair of used Mullards are under $100 where I buy most of my tubes. He also warranty’s them. I bought a quad of used Mullard el34’s xf2’s from him almost ten years ago and played the hell out of them still pull them out every onc... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp Buy a used Mullard that test as new, you can pick up one for under $100. RCA’s are fun and sound good, kind of in the middle between Mullard and Telefunkens. RCA’s are more of a guitar tube and sounds like it but still a nice tube. Telefunkens are... | |

| Proac Response 3.8 stereo imaging is not centered You could check resistors if one is failing or someone replaced it with wrong value the output could be lacking or too much could cause what you described. That’s the cheapest place to start then film caps. I’m sure your interconnects are all good... | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I run biwire and shot gun and it’s obvious to me it’s better. Nothing makes sense in this hobby anyway so why would biwire. Maybe it’s system dependent. Sounds good without biwire too, just different. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Having to deal with a small room after a move I pretty much have the same size as yours. I’ve had really good luck with the Reference 3a Reflector. It’s not a small speaker for a book shelf but I still run it with a pair of rel subs. I do turn the... | |
| Repair in New Orleans? He will fix it same day for an extra fee, move you to the front of the line. He fixed a tube amp while I waited in the shop. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used QLN are very nice, Joseph Audio’s another good one, there’s a lot of good speakers out there, you have a nice budget for used. | |
| Repair in New Orleans? Digital Rehab in Slidell. He was Wilson Audios repair guy for 20 years. I brought a couple things to him with good luck, I believe he is still an authorized Audio Research repair center but can work on anything. |
