Audio Research amp repair in New Jersey/New York
Thank you everyone! What about ARC's authorized service center in NYC, Technetron? Has anyone had had any experience w/them? They are preferred by ARC and seem to have a good reputation but want $360 to diagnose the unit and the $360 goes toward t... 
Is it all phasing or is it something more?
There was an article in the NY Times recently discussing why over 60% of Netflix viewers use closed caption sub titles- it's due to the combination of too many loud sound effects over powering the dialog, a trend for actors to be whispering / spea... 
Aidiogon is Da Bomb!
You haven't been on here long enough. Post a few dozen times and you'll find its the same as every other forum,.. best of luck  
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
I have the LRS+ running on a Rogue Sphinx v3 in a small - my home office- room that's about 10x 12. I have them about 2 feet from the rear (on the 10 ft wall) and only about 1 foot off the side walls. I have them on the factory stands, slightly ti... 
Final? ARC Chapter...
I took the "click bait" on this. It's not the end, its a new beginning and a continuation of a storied brand - the fact that an enthusiast purchased it is even better. I'm sure good things will come of this and perhaps ARC's new product line will ... 
Subs with room correction DSP?
It's JL Audio. They're built like tanks, deep, very fast and tight. The newer versions use their room tuning DSP DARO (II) which is much improved over the earlier versions.REL is good- I had an SHO/510 but more subtle, driven by the speaker leads ... 
Review of Ascend Acoustics’ ELX Tower Speakers (released 2022)
Perhaps a link to your "review" might be more efficient for everyone. The longest post I've ever seen - and no I didn't read it due to its length.   
What's up with the price of Vintage equipment?
The same thing that's up with Bring A Trailer.com- too many idiots with more money than brains willing to bid average cars up to ridiculous prices. Same thing that's up with the used HiFi sites we all know, charing, er, gouging, for 20 year old, w... 
So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why???
I agree, totally useless to try to "hear" differences via 1/2" speakers in a laptop. Total waste of time.   
Probably a dumb question
@noromance Skyfi's prices are ridiculous imo...  
Can I Trust The Music Room's Product Description?
Surely you must know that when you buy something used the warranty is typically no longer valid- and in your case- the unit is definitely beyond its warranty period- and was originally only under warranty to the first owner who had to present a va... 
Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8
I use Transparent Audio Super + between my Pass 250.8 and Sasha 2, sounds great, a nice upgrade over Audioquest I had previously.   
Returns
Uh, yeah, of course you're sometimes getting someone's returned item. What other option does the dealer have when a mint condition item is returned in like new condition. There's no "law" prohibiting them from re-selling it. If it's damaged, scrat... 
We are being flooded by headphone ads
In the past I would have said we're being flooded with headphone ads because headphones are more affordable than speakers (used to be), but current headphone prices are mind numbingly high. Ridiculous.  
Subs for SF Amati
and get the JL Audio CR-1, it makes integration a breeze - and with endless flexibility for current and future main speakers...
