| Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting. All Shunyata protectors are non current limiting. I have 3 Shunyata Hydras in my main system, one of them has a McIntosh humongous 300 wpc amp plugged into it. | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? Like I stated above, had an all Yamaha system, hated it, moved on. I have absolutely zero love for Yamaha. | |
| McIntosh MP1100 Feedback I have the C2500 preamp with the excellent MM and MC options. That is a great phono preamp, you cant go wrong for half price. | |
| What happened to Yamaha electronics? I had an all Yamaha mid-fi system around 1988, cold and sterile comes to mind. No body to the music. When I say mid-fi, I am talking an (all Yamaha) integrated amp, tuner, and cd player. I was using Boston Acoustics speakers (their most expensi... | |
| Clone DarTZeel amps? If you look at the pictures of the inside of the clone VS the real deal, you will see why one sells for 2K and the real one sells for many many thousands more. I personally had terrible luck with a Yaquin hybrid integrated amp. It caught fire t... | |
| Turntables with tone arm lift at end of play. In the early 70’s, I sold the Empire 698 or 598 (can’t remember which)Troubador turntable. When we stopped selling them, I could have bought our demo for Pennies on the dollar. At the time I was a poor college student, paying for my books, car... | |
| Cornwall IV V-Cap ODAM and Path Audio resistor modification The Klipsch Cornwall IV is their best sounding generation of the Cornwall line. I listened to them extensively at Audio Classics. If I am ever able to sell my JBL L100 Classics speakers, they will be my next purchase. I would listen to them in ... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables I would message Chris Van Haus at VH Audio and see what he can build for you. He carries many brands of cables and bulk wire with high end terminations. He will custom build. I have bought a few custom cables from him; he has always been honest... | |
| Persistent trouble with Keenwood KA-5500 I sold the Kenwood KA5500 back in the 70’s. I believe the amp sold for $300 or $350.00. Most likely the board has a Crack in it or cold solder joints or a combination of both. How do you know it is not the volume control, have you had it tested? ... | |
| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables There is a person selling a 10 foot pair of Audioquest Indigo speaker cables with spades at both ends. They are solid core wires. I owned a 20 foot pair years ago and I am sorry I sold them. | |
| RaidHo C1.1 vs Focal Diablo Utopia Have you thought about one of the lesser expensive Raidho floorstanders? They really won't take up much room, something to consider. | |
| Frequently asking to re-login yes, every other day or so and every 5 days I need a 2-factor identification. Doesn't Audiogon realize that everyone doesn't use their smart phone to visit. I personally use my desktop computer, and the reason is the 32-inch screen. At least I ... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? @soix, I played trumpet in a Jazz band for years in my early days and it didn’t do anything to help me appreciate music any better. Growing up, there was always music playing in our home, my dad was thrilled when his console stereo got delivered... | |
| Has McIntosh Ever Decreased Prices (on new equipment)? I have bought 6 McIntosh components from Audio Classics, all used and all looked and played like brand new. They are the “go to” for anything McIntosh. I purchased a brand new pair of JBL L100 Classics from them in December 2020. Which were sell... | |
| Integrated that blew you away McIntosh MA6600 integrated amp. As soon as I saw and heard it at Audio Classics, I purchased it. The Parasound HINT integrated I had at the time is like a toy compared to the McIntosh integrated. I play it every single day for hours on end as i... |
