| Let's talk power cords @ pawlowski6132, you asked for specifics, here goes. I've installed a PS Audio BHK Stereo 250 amp recently and have been working to get the tonal balance of the system fine tuned to my liking. I had few power cords to try, none terribly expensive;... | |
| Steve Tibbits Glad you've discovered Mr. Tibbetts, he's one of my all time favorites. I've purchased everything he's released over the years and he never fails to reward with interesting music. "Safe Journey" is my all time favorite. His collaborations with Cho... | |
| Get well Dickey Betts He's had surgery to relieve the intra-cranial swelling and is reported to be doing better. Let's hope recovery continues on course. | |
| Help with advice for high end speaker cables for my system! I would caution you to temper your expectations, expecting a "very substantial" upgrade from your speaker cables is a tall order in my experience. Like Elizabeth, I found money was much better spent by proportionally spending more on interconnects... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs In addition to all suggestions made so far, you can entertain yourself in near perpetuity perusing Arkiv Music and Presto Classical's websites for further ideas and reviewer recommendations. Any composition you are interested in can be searched by... | |
| Charles Lloyd & The Marvels + Lucinda Williams "Vanished Gardens" I'm a great fan of Lucinda Williams and Charles Lloyd - as individual artists. When I heard about this album I checked out the music as well as several stage performances on YouTube. Glad their collaboration gives pleasure to Mofimadness. However,... | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with I agree with the negative comments so far, this latest update is the worst "improvement" I have ever seen on the site. The circular previews are horrendous graphic design and make it harder, not easier to scan listings of interest. The old text l... | |
| JL Fathom repair I can only encourage you to do it the right way and send it back to JL. Their service program is second to none. For a reasonable flat fee they go through it and replace anything and everything that is possibly suspect or is in need of replacement... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! @ 25105 regarding Voskhod 6n23p tubes. As to their sound in the BHK250 - warm in the sense that the mid range seems to have slightly greater emphasis, lots of "air" around instruments, treble is detailed but definitely not etched, bass isn't fat o... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! I've been experimenting with 6922 family tubes to tame some of the issues you are having. In my PS Audio BHK Stereo 250 amp, I've found Voskhod "Rocket" 6n23p tubes to be just the ticket. The Reflektor factory's tubes haven't appealed to me so muc... | |
| Good music/audio stores in Memphis, Nashville, Florida panhandle, Central FL In central Florida's Tampa Bay/St. Pete area I'd suggest you visit the Sound Exchange on Nebraska Ave in Tampa. Mojos Books and Music in Tampa is great for vinyl but not so much for cd's. St. Petersburg has several good ones, just Google "used mus... | |
| James Brown Agree with shadorne's recommendations with the caveat that I'd remember the term "very good audio quality" is relative when it comes to James Brown recordings. There's only so much you can do with some of them. | |
| Jl audio fathom f212v2 noise and hum Are these brand new or used? | |
| JL Audio F110 Fathom pops... Another A+ for JL's out of warranty service. I had them go through my F112 and I ended up with an almost new subwoofer with just about everything replaced except the cabinet and driver for $300. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Mike has a lot of Takachi cases left over because of folks upgrading their original orders in his first three or four lots. Most people decided to upgrade from the Takachi case and wait for him to finish production of his own beefier upgraded case... |
