| Preamps and amp heads question You need to go to a musical instrument website, home audio is a totally different animal. | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects ...Quality cables definitely matter, but a lot of what you’re hearing there is probably due is the move from RCA to XLR. Not all components sound better from the XLR outputs / inputs versus RCA.... This has been my experience. | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems I keep adjusting each tube and eventually this stops Keep adjusting until all is well. I have started trying to rotate tubes and it seems I can move this problem from the right to left channel, It sounds like a bad tube to me. Buy some new ... | |
| Tuner - FM over the air - suggestions @curtdr Might be moving to Tucson, AZ Green Valley has a really good classical station. I'm not a huge classical fan but my tuner is on more than any other source. Local, good quality, ease of use. | |
| NY audio show 2022 Crimes may be up this year, but let’s keep it in perspective — it’s still nowhere near where it was 22 years ago Where I live we go years and years without a murder. I prefer to stay out of the city, thank you very much. | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps Perhaps your phono cartridge is not tracking properly or is worm out? | |
| Triangle Antal 40th Anniversary get rave review in Stereophile Magazine I mated my Antals with Infinity RS1B woofer towers and was very happy. | |
| Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402 A Parasound A21+. I've owned a Mac 402, the Parasound is what you seek. | |
| Harman Kardon Citation Amp 12 and B & W Nautilus 803 Speakers The Citation 12 was much stronger than the 60-watt rating suggests, you'll have no problem at any normal level. | |
| Townshend or MuRata Supertweeters? Thoughts? I put cheap super-tweeters on my LS-50s and it transformed them into a real audiophile speaker. I was just a test but it showed they can have a use. | |
| REL users - do any of you use low level for 2 channel? REL has a unique connection but my personal experience is that subs sound better using the high level connections. Many think otherwise but I spent a lot of money on my chain of equipment, and I don't want to not use my amp as the source. | |
| Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances When you get down to the 2 ohm range, it's best to talk to the manufacturer and tell them what loudspeaker you are trying to drive. Specs don't tell the whole story and I would not put a lot of faith in them. | |
| Ali Baba If you want the best answer send a picture to the manufacturer. They know what fake cables look like. | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. I can’t drop any big names like you guys but Walt Lewsadder at Woodland Stereo was very kind to a young audiophile. If you know your history he helped Arnie Nudell with the Servo Statik loudspeaker system and sold a ton of them. | |
| Did you notice.... I'm sure some of you guys have good streaming systems but it's hard to do better than the original format. |
