| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? Always recommended/installed Crowns, for road gear/live venues. It was virtually impossible to kill them(rugged as they were, in the late 70’s-early 80’s). I never thought the sound came close, to the home audio amps I carried. Nor did my customers. | |
| Arm interconnects choice??? +1 for Synergistic’s cables. I’ve been using their Tricon Analogue, for the past 15+ years, with My Denon 103D, Dynavector 17D3 and Soundsmith Aida. Doubtful- that I could be happier, with another cable(based on a few decades of live music, 2-3 ti... | |

| Magnepan 1.7 and Klipsch R-120SW "If anyone has been successful with this combination or any other , would you please share proper settings, crossover, phase and gain?" No one can possibly(correctly) do any of that, without being IN the room, with YOUR system. | |

| Dealers and exaggerated treble bigkidz (+1) Speaker systems, in general, are more accurate/transparent than in the past. That means; one’s more likely to be put on notice, of anything that’s strident/bright/screwed up(in any way) upstream(GIGO). | |

| Dealers and exaggerated treble When I had my shoppe(early 80’s) in Winter Park, Fl; a customer wondered how my 10", two-ways might sound, compared to the Boston Acoustics, that a local competitor carried. He wondered if he could borrow a pair to take to their location. Came bac... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @jsautter - YEP! All that, "casting" is just a waste of keystrokes. Yet; it can be entertaining. | |
| Swapping capacitors Those will provide four places(each connector=2), per capacitor, for corrosion to affect your signal. By shielding from oxygen, soldering eliminates that possibility and attendant loss of fidelity. It would be SO nice, were there a way make a ... | |

| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? "Audio", by definition(ie: sound, especially when recorded, transmitted, or reproduced), can include everything/anything, from the first time a soundwave hit an eardrum. As long as you, "love"(phile=suffix), WHATEVER your might be listening to, or... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! @larryrs- "....hyperbolic"? What was it, that Hirsch, "relied on", besides measurements? His other, "reference"? OH, YEAH: "sounds". Once again(from his pen): " I’ve never listened to live music, but- I have a pretty good idea what it sounds like.... |
