| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z The amplifier is out of warranty. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe this is a digital amp. I believe it is an AB amp. | |
| Hum in left channel - Parasound Z I just swapped the inputs going into the amplifier and it stays in the same speaker which (I think) confirms it is the amplifier.When I swapped speaker cables, the hum also moved. | |
| What is the most popular wood finish ? Rosewood and other exotics will not necessarily be good for resale. As you say, keep it neutral. Maple or cherry are good choices. And you are correct, rosewood, ebony, and others will run you 500 or more just for material. Depending on how good t... | |
| A market for DIY speakers on AudioGon ? I've sold many of my DIY builds here. Helps if your crossover design is backed up by someone well known, and your cabinetry and finish is top notch. I'm a woodworker before I am an audiophile. | |

| Recommended Soldering Iron I also use the one Peter mentions. It's ver nice. | |
| Accuton based speaker list? You can add Consensus Audio to the list. | |
| Magico S5 review Wow, ease up audiooracle. So what if he did only listen to the Magicos. He liked what he heard and voted with his wallet. I don't get your comment. Not everyone wants to audition everything under the sun, nor has the time to.Quite frankly, I congr... | |
| Speakers for low power tube amplifier Clearwave Symphonia 72R's are probably sensitive enough for that amplifier. I am a dealer. | |
| What would you do? Even if they are hand matched, the manufacturer should have record of this, and obtain drivers that meet the specs yours originally did. In which case they could be installed by the dealer. I would not expect two new speakers because one cone came... | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... Most any Harbeth is quite forgiving. Even the baby P3ESR that I recently sold. | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers The original Nautilus speaker (snail) was introduced in 1993. The Nautilus 800 series was introduced in 1998. |
