| SACD sounds worse or CD sounds better or ....? If this is nonsense, please don't flame me - I'm just throwing it out there. What if your hitting the performance ceiling of some equipment down the line. Before, neither the SACD nor the cd were hitting it but now just the SACD is. | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers In retrospect, I can think of one instance in which it might be fair to charge for an audition: If one is asking a dealer to either order something from a line that he doesn't ordinarily carry or bring in an expensive reference piece from a line h... | |
| Tube Coolers pros and cons I would think that if the cooler is made of a material that conducts heat better than air (which isn't hard to achieve, and brass certainly does), and it fits snugly against the glass, then it should perform like an amplifier heat-sink and cool th... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers On the whole, dealers are their own worst enemies. How many times has it been said on this forum, that putting together a system with all of its components contributing to their full potential, requires a lot more effort than just opening ones wal... | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers "most people on this site USE dealers to demo equipment, then come here to buy it used or from someone selling new at used prices to save some cash when they had zero intentions on buying new"Arbuckle, How do you know this? What statistically reli... | |

| Would you pay to audition speakers Agree with Tvad. Wait for the "going out of business, everything must go" sale, and then strut in there with your best sh*t-eating grin. | |
| What amp to choose? I haven't been a huge fan of the Krells, but admittedly, I've only heard them a few times and none were the newer models. My suggestion was based mostly on the Halo's ability to provide effortless power to your Omegas. I just thought that it would... | |
| What amp to choose? Perhaps a Parasound Halo JC1. | |
| Analysis Omega Ribbon Planars Mrtennis, I haven't heard the Magnepans. I'll try to make a point of it; they must be special. | |
| Analysis Omega Ribbon Planars Hi Mrtennis,When I heard Wayne Donnelly's set-up, I thought it had ample base. To that end, Wayne said the Spectron amps made a great contribution. This isn't to suggest that you weren't correct in what you heard when you were listening. | |
| CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS? That makes a lot of sense John | |
| Is it worth it to repair a cj pv2ar? I suggest that you shop for repair. I don't know who gave you the estimate but if it's the local audio repair guy, I would almost anticipate getting clipped. Let us know where you're located and maybe a member can recommend someone dependable. | |
| are all amps equal "I just have problems paying $500 for 6ft. piece of wire"We all have that problem, but there is a reason that the vast majority of us ultimately do, and that reason has nothing to do with excessive wads of long green burning holes in our pockets. | |
| are all amps equal "Although they have a fairly flat impedance curve, their power requirements probably eliminate most tube amps as the best match"Tvad, I thought speaker/tube compatibility was all about the impedance curve, and that low efficiency speakers, with be... |
