| Another audio dealer closes his shop Zd542, "It may be true in some cases, but its not always that way. As far as how the individual stores are run, its a mixed bag."The fact that I offered my apologies to the exceptions means that I know that itÂs not always true."On that quote, in... | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop "consumers are realizing that they can configure a stereo system without the advice of a dealerÂTo the extent that thatÂs true, it's because too many dealers offer the minimum in set-up help. IÂm not talking about six figure systems, IÂm talki... | |
| AXPONA anyone? Hi Charles, I did hear them but came away with the feeling that I didnÂt hear them at their best. The room was crowded both times that I popped in (an indication that I donÂt know what IÂm talking about), but they seemed to overload the room. I... | |
| AXPONA anyone? I had a great time and was actually pretty impressed with the sound of most rooms, given the challenging circumstances. I had hoped to compare high efficiency speakers and was somewhat disappointed in the lack of participation by some of the bette... | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop My apologies to the exceptions but, in general, I have so little sympathy for audio dealers that I just couldnÂt care less. In my experience, this industry attracts too many hustlers who see a potential for huge unearned profits, and have categor... | |
| Valve amplifier choice I kind of like Macintosh for you. Living in a rural Tasmania, Im going to suggest that equipment maintenance and reliability with a company that has a solid track record should be a priority in your decision. | |

| Anyone have issues dealing with Sophia Electric ? Not me. Quite the contrary. | |
| Ocellia vs Tannoy? Jjbraham, I havent heard any speaker using PHY drivers myself but would like to very much. In retrospect, I probably shouldnt have made that comment about PHY speakers without the qualification that the people, who I know, who didnt like them,... | |
| Ocellia vs Tannoy? Since you like Vapor, what about the Cirrus White at 91 db? Maybe not ideal, but perhaps enough in your room with you listening preferences. From what I understand, the Tannoys efficiency rating can be misleading. SET amps are not recommended. Bu... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Frontier1, You have a 24W/Ch. PP 300b amp and I have a 25W/Ch. PP 300b integrated amp. A couple of years ago, I was exactly where you are now - trying to upgrade quality (but not the best quality) 300b tubes. IMO, the key factors involved are 1) Y... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? Im pretty sure that I recall some speaker manufactures recommending ZNFB amplifiers for their speakers. I always took it for granted that there was a scientifically based rationale for this. Could these be instances where NFB vs. ZNFB isnt a tot... | |
| AXPONA anyone? WouldnÂt miss it. Great location choice. LotÂs to do in and near Rosemont, while only about 20 minutes to Rush Street...Woo-woo! |
