| LP Cleaning Services @mahler123 I've enquired about the drop offs at Val's and OP Records before and both said that don't really do it anymore. Have you spoken with Pure-grooves? | |
| LP Cleaning Services @mahler123 Check out Pure-Grooves in Berwyn. US cleaning for $5 per record with volume discounts. No affiliation - yet. I have been meaning to give them a try as they are very close to me. | |
| Preamp comparison - Rogue Perseus and ARC LS25 MKII @mulveling You don't see the Athena or Hera for sale often. If I did I might grab one. I have been very curious about the RP series. There was one local that I almost bought but snoozed on it. But, it sounds like you are saying that the newe... | |
| Preamp comparison - Rogue Perseus and ARC LS25 MKII @audphile1 Yes, you are most likely correct. Not sure if new tubes are going to give me the warmth and bloom I'm looking for though. We'll see. Thanks | |
| Preamp comparison - Rogue Perseus and ARC LS25 MKII @audphile1 That's a great question. I'll have to open it up and take a look. I was too anxious to get it in the system and start listening and didn't open it up! According to the previous owner they should be stock. No idea how many hours. ... | |
| Preamp comparison - Rogue Perseus and ARC LS25 MKII Thanks all for the replies. @overthemoon I have thought about some new tubes for the Perseus in the past. You've just reminded me! Like I said, it would be great to keep the fullness and richness - bloom I guess it is - with just a touch mor... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @stevemcx Thanks for chiming in here. I've enjoyed your recent vids with Audiophile junkie. After your initial post I thought my 0.5 was off the hook! Oh well. It is over 20 yrs old after all. I will have to get it back in the system soon a... | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? @roadwhorerecords LOL you beat me to it! Waiting for the sales pitch.... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue @frazeur1 Well, it was definitely the 10" bass coupler voice coil. It became deformed somehow. I took the driver over to my local tech - Casper at Stereo Rehab in Chicago - and he actually just manipulated the cone for a few minutes and got it... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce Sigs with bass coupler issue @jcoehler @jasonbourne52 Thanks for your replies. I received a reply from Richard Vandersteen (cool) saying he couldn't be sure what the issue was. He also said they do not have replacement woofers (interesting) but I can send the defective ... | |
| Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales? Everything slows down this time of year. In my former life years ago I was a carpet installer. January into Feb. was by far the slowest time of year. Nothing new. I think the pricing on used gear is off base for the most part. The local Cra... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix Thanks. Like I said, fingers crossed | |
| Looking for a good small subwoofer... Love my REL t9x. IMO can't go wrong with REL. But, recently listened to a Kef kc62 and was very impressed. Goes down low with no muddiness and is tiny! Thinking of one for my living room. Not cheap though. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I have a 90's .5 that I picked up a few years ago. One of 3 amps in my rotation. Thankfully, still working great as of a few months ago until I switched it out for my Hegel. Probably put it back in the system soon to give it a run - fing... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter Best of luck! Vinyl takes some work with many variables to consider. But, I've heard it sound fantastic even on my modest system. |
