| Newbie here again with a follow up Speaker question Two thumbs up for the DeVore Gibbon 8! Truly excellent floor-standers - and USA-made (Brooklyn, NY) in limited-quantity by John DeVore! And listed at a very fair price, too! If I didn't already have so many speakers I'd be buying these myself! | |
| You pick Quads! I have been a happy owner since 1981! Presently own two pairs! Have used mine with a Bedini 25/25 and Futterman H3AA's. | |
| The best tweaks EVER.. Hiraoka Diskmat SE-22. Bought mine new from Harvey Sound (NYC 48th St) in 1977 - $20! Still in use on my Ariston RD11S! Possibly the best TT mat ever! | |
| New to Magnepan, a volume question Thumbs up johnnyb53! The Parasound Halo Integrated would be the best value choice! | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Years ago Harry Pearson (TAS) tested a pair of 1000 watt Bryston monoblocs. He was impressed by the clarity of the sound - especially at low listening levels! He concluded having all that power available was certainly beneficial, regardless of lis... | |
| Newbee building a retro sound system from scratch. DCM speakers I too am an owner of Time Windows (52779,52780). My third pair since 1977! Needless to say, a GREAT speaker! Instead of the McIntosh or Marantz I will recommend something far better (and still vintage): a Yamaha AX-2000 integrated amp (1985). Supe... | |
| Newbie here with a cable question I agree with willemj - no need to spend lots of money on wire! I recommend Anticables Level 1 IC's and speaker wire. Very good quality and honestly priced! No need for any power conditioners - plug straight into your wall AC lines! ... | |
| Most overrated bands New York Philharmonic! | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? My second wish would be for a matched set of 12 6LF6 GE's or Sylvania's for my pair of Futterman H3AA's (no's. 56 & 57)! | |
| Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you? A NOS Grado Signature 2! I had a brief listen to one in 1978 and was impressed with its sound quality! And I am a staunch fan of mc cartridges! Price then was $500 (half that of a Koetsu). | |
| Richard Shahinian Truly sad to hear of the passing of Richard Shahinian. A great innovator and outside-the-box designer of some remarkable speakers (the Obelisk, Arc and Diaposon). You will be missed! | |
| Ansuz Voodo science plus a little showmanship is the way to get rich! | |
| 4 ohm speaker to 8 ohm reciver Check out the Rogue Audio Sphinx integrated amp. 100+ watts and an excellent phono stage. Very well reviewed by Herb Reichert in Stereophile! Made in the USA, too! | |
| who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ? Send it to AJ VanDenHul in Amsterdam. The WORLD'S BEST mc cartridge expert! | |
| What is your favorite budget audio component? Pioneer PLX1000 TT with a Denon 103R. Sounds as good as multi-kilobuck TT's and cartridges! |
