| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Thank you Doug K. for letting me hear your wonderful system! | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Going to a friend’s house back in ’79 and listening to his system: Quad 57’s/Futterman H3aa’s/Marantz 7 tube preamp/ Thorens 125TT/Rabco SL8 arm/Panasonic Strain Gauge cartridge. Afterwards at home, my 4 speakers/4 SS amps/active x - over no longe... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. The 6LF6 used in my Futterman H3aa's is capable of decent current delivery. This is a TV tube designed for use as a horizontal deflection amplifier in b&w TV's. | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros Oh yes, when I wanted to add a NEW TT to my collection of vintage TT's I bought the Pioneer PLX1000 ($700). | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros Get a Denon 103R (conical tip) and an SUT (can be Denon). I have this combo, among others! It delivers the goods! | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? I recall a comparative test years ago between a Sony Discman and a Theta transport/DAC. A Boulder preamp/power amp were used with Quad 63's. The result: NO Difference! The French chef applauds! | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? +1 mwatsme! One of my neighbors is a 51 yr old pro rock musician. I asked him if he had a stereo system. "No, I only listen to my computer's speakers"!!! | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Alexa, play some Taylor Swift for me (world's richest performer, according to Forbes!). | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Siri, play some music for me on my new AirPods (with wireless charging). New TV ad seen recently (filmed in b&w!). | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? And the computer/smartphone/internet has killed interest in traditional audio gear among the 20 - 30 yr generation! | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? Just capitalist manufacturers preying on the insecure, neurotic and gullible! As the French chef says "No diffawrance"! | |
| Making a product to sell and the need for modernity The proliferation of Chinese, Hungarian and Russian vacuum tubes over the past two decades! Filling a need which we in the West no longer are willing to do! | |
| klh 355 baron 1970s I recall seeing the ads for them long ago. Do they have butyl rubber surrounds? If you like the sound, keep 'em! I have a pair of even older KLH 6's that still sound real good! | |
| Spica Angelus Seller is "anthonythayer44" in Missouri. If I wasn't already up to my ears in equipment I'd be jumping on this myself! | |
