| Help wanted: Bass! I also used large curtains on a wall with no windows, looked acceptable and worked well. | |
| Help wanted: Bass! I had 2 REL Stadium subs and they were great. I also had a pair of the old HSU tall circular subs made of treated cardboard which were good also. BIG bang for buck. Also pair of Nelson Reed 1204s which can blow down walls but were discontinued at ... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Basis also makes good tables. I would go used as tables seem to depricate more than most. Service on tables has never been good. In 1970 I wanted a arm board for a current Sony belt drive. I could not fine one and I was living in NYC then I went ... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? I always talked to Mrs Harry [Sheila?] but she has been gone for some years. My memory for names is not good since my surgery. Harry was always helpful but he must be getting up there as he is about my age, 75 He can correct me on this, their son ... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. I had a KSA 200 and it sounded good and would be good for power lifting practice. But check out the cost of new caps. I knew someone who had one and had not had it recaped because of the cost. There were many mono amps some of which were very expe... | |
| Should I buy a Class A Amp. I was a Krell dealer and also a Musical Fidelity in the days when use to have big amps like the 270 and 370 which were class A. The ones I liked best were a pair of Stax 100 watt As through Quad 63s. I don't have any As now and find good ABs sound... | |

| How long do high quality speakers "last" I have had one reconed. Have had some 20 years. "Quality speakers last for decades if used within their comfort zone." I sold one pair which failed but a guy who was there told me that they were on the floor and they were bouncing up and down bef... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? I was a dealer twice at widely separated times and they were very good but it has been 5 years since I was. In a completely different note I found replacing the standard feet with brass ones improved the sound. I told Harry this but I suspect that... | |
| CD players that make for a great transport LP better but CD can be very good and cheaper and easier. Modified LP 12 and VPI. | |
| CD players that make for a great transport My old Meridan, I had both the 200 and the 600 series [602?] the 200 was better. If any of you are still back in the Neolithic as I am they are still good. Use it with my Metrum Octave. | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? When I tried ARs in the early 70s I though that the tweeters has failed. I had been using ARs for years. I have gone through a lot of Brit speakers ever since then.You would not believe how many. Even Had a B&W P2H. Later a dealer for Harbeth... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but I can see why the active might be preferred. Try it yourself if you can. the passive is not cheap but great at the price, look at the rating. |
