| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? And in a two- cubic foot box they have quite satisfying bass - and high sensitivity, too! | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? My mistake on the Altecs! They are the 755 series, with the 755A's being the most desirable because they claim to be built by Western Electric. I had a pair of 755E's. Not as rare, but still sounding fine (and a lot cheaper!). An excellent DIY cho... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Maybe McGyver will respond! He can make a good PC out of two straightened coat hangers! | |
| Cartridge replacment time Good for you Englebert! Happy listening and welcome to Audiogon! | |
| Feedback on Manley Lab Series 100 Monoblocks Ditto for a trip back to Manley. But might be expensive! | |
| From Four 12 inch Woofers To Eight 12 inch Woofers, Will I Get Deeper Bass Or More Bass? Just more bass! Not any lower! Eight 12's? Sell those hard-to-drive Kappas and get a pair of nicely restored Bozak Concert Grands - each has four 12's - total of 8 per pair! Rudy Bozak made some of the best speakers of the 50's and 60's! A man ahe... | |
| Tubes Audio Mirror PP1 Avoid imitation current production tubes.Nowhere near as good for sound quality and longevity as original NOS tubes! Even used vintage tubes are a better choice than fake Genelex, Mullard, Tung Sol ... | |
| Tubes Audio Mirror PP1 Try to find a pair of old NOS 12AU7's. Any from the 50's, 60's, 70's. GE, Sylvania, RCA's will work just fine! | |
| Tubes Audio Mirror PP1 What power amp are you using? I am guessing that the Audio Mirror PP1 is a tube preamp, correct? If so, it is overdriving the amp by not allowing you to use more of the volume control's range. Try replacing the input pair of 12AX7's with a pair of... | |
| Audio Research Reference 6 or Mark Levinson Reference n32 Stick with the ML 32! It is, as you've found, a superb sounding preamp! A tube preamp like the ARC 6 will need future tube replacement - and on the way there will only decline in sound quality! That is the real nature of vacuum tubes (contrary to ... | |
| Speaker recomendation Check out the new Bob Carver line arrays with integral sub's. They can certainly fill your large space! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Fewer people are listening to two-channel audio. Television viewing and on-screen gaming are more attractive to younger folks. They don't just want to sit in a dimly-lit room listening to music from a pair of speakers! They look at this as an old ... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? Altec 655's go from 60 hz to 12k hz with fairly even response and high sensitivity! Out of production for decades. Now wish I had kept my pair of 655E's! | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @glupson: If Pioneer can produce a quality TT for $700 retail then why not Technics? I think that Technics is just aiming for more profit - and counting on the past reputation of the 1200 to gain sales. | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @neonknight thank you for your correction. My mistake! Even though made in China the PLX looks, feels and sounds like a quality piece! At its price would you rather buy a Project or a Music Hall? I wouldn't! |
