| Sonus Faber Concerto replacement Speaker Grilles Have you tried Sonus Faber? | |
| Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F I purchased a JVC direct drive turntable back in 1979 and it was one of the best turntables I ever owned. To this day I regret selling it. I ran mine with a Shure V15 type 3 mm cartridge. | |
| ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ? I have an Esoteric UX-3 in one system and a McIntosh MCD301 in another system. I much prefer the Esoteric as it seems truer to the music, but the McIntosh is very smooth sounding and even poor recorded cd's sound listenable. It's a toss up and ... | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations Kenwood is another good vintage brand. I sold tons of their receivers back in the 70's and owned quite a bit of them myself. | |
| FM Antennas For Old School Tuner? Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna is the best indoor antenna and can be used outdoor as well. I have tried them all, the Terk powered, Godar, etc and this one constantly pulls in the station. | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? GAS made "Charlie", the Tuner back in the 70's. I always loved Jims humor. | |
| Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect My new speakers went for 8500,00 and I got a 500.00 discount. This happened only after I pointed out to the dealer that I had already spent 8000.00 in the past 7 months with no discount. Never hurts to ask but don't expect to buy a Wilson or Mag... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? My first encounter with James Bongiorno was a SAE amp I bought new around 1975. In 1978 or 79 (memory failing), I bought a GAS Son of Ampzilla and the sound was a revelation. It was stupid good, especially for the 500.00? that it sold for. (guessi... | |

I repl... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems @mofimadness I do not like getting burned by someone on here that comes highly recommended. While I didn't expect Mapleshade quality, I did expect my moneys worth. I should have sent it back, but that is a whole story in itself. Peace. | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems @mofimadness If you saw what Chris sent me, you would think that his QC issues were a lot more than "little". He will never, ever get another dime from me. | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? RIP James Bongiorno. One of the truly great engineers is no more. | |
| Are Avalon still in Bussines @mofimadness That's kind of a poor excuse on their part. For the uber expensive speakers they sell, they could at least have someone answering the phone. Some of these high end company's are really clueless on making good business. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? listened to the new Jimi Hendrix CD. Amazon delivered it on a Sunday no less. Also listened to my newest favorite, "The Devil To Pay" by Kim Simmons & Savoy Brown. Only got to listen to the main rig for 2 hours today. | |
| Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts? I wish I had the room for it. |
