| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used That would be Von Schweikert VR-1. Easy to drive 8 ohm load and great bass with -3 db at 40 Hz. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD How can you say one is better than the other when you are not comparing apples to apples. It's common to have a large investment in a turntable and an inexpensive CD player. Also, the end result has a lot to do with which source you have designed ... | |
| Speaker sensitivity Sensitivity is not the only thing to consider. I have owned high sensitivity speakers that were not easy to drive. A speaker's impedance curve and the complexity of the crossover can be much more important. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Bongofury, That was funny. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Orpheus10 is right. Is it the RIAA process that is appealing? Because the record would be unlistenable without it. | |
| Pick up only? where? The zip code locations used to be available on this site by clicking on the zip code and they still should be. This site is still in beta and probably will be for a long time. I lost approximately 50% of my want to buy ads which currently do not e... | |
| Tube sellers There are NOS tubes out there, but the supply is dwindling fast. It is important to buy from a reliable seller. I have had good service from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio. NOS tubes come and go and when there are fewer tubes left the price goes up u... | |
| What is "low ball" The truth is, the sellers who complain the most about lowballers probably lowballed someone else when they bought it and are trying to make a profit. | |
| What is "low ball" I agree with Cyclonicman. There are far too many "highballers". Need some examples? A recent listing for an Audio Research SP-8 (not MKII) for $2,200. That's $1,000-$1,200 over market. Maybe more depending on condition. The price was firm. How abo... | |
| loose IEC power cord connection? Audio Research resisted using IEC sockets for years for this very reason. There is no better connection than a hard wired power cord. | |
| What is "low ball" Lowballers=bottom feeders? I don't think so. It's the buyers who set the sales price not the sellers. I have been tracking sales prices on certain items and it is the sellers who are continuously trying to jack the prices up. So, if your price is ... | |
| Spica Angelus setup Spica Angelus are mirror imaged and the woofers should be placed closer to the inside. The Angelus is a great speaker and deserves high quality electronics. They have a fair amount of high frequency energy, so I recommend avoiding brite electronic... | |
| Speaker stand height The heigth depends on the speakers. Some speakers sound better with the area between the tweeter/woofer amed at your ear level. You can also tilt the speakers forward to achieve this. A good way to get equal angles on both speakers is to use a las... | |
| Converting cables to ICs Even though most interconnects us very thin wire I do not believe the gauge of the wire is an issue in itself. Cogan Hall made interconnects of copper tubing and the sound was very good even though the gauge was quite large. I have always preferre... |
