| The one component that you wish you had not bought A pair of Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers. I got sucked in by the hype in their full page ad saying their 3,700.00 speaker sounds like a 15,000.00 speaker. I purchased them second hand from a person who had them less than a year. After getting th... | |
| I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible Like my dad always said, "there is an ass for every seat". | |
| Tube or Hybrid Amps for MBL 111/116 ? Since MBL only makes solid state amps, it may be wise to stick with solid state. The tube amp my not have enough current to drive the MBL speakers effectively. From what I have seen and heard, they require big amps to sound their best. | |
| Advice needed: biwire speaker cables used as single wire speaker cable? I had an expensive pair of bi-wired cables and then bought speakers with single wire. A phone call to MIT assured me that I could connect both pairs of the bi-wired wires to the single wired terminals on my speakers. I used it this way for over ... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced I will add my 2 cents worth and say Odyssey falls into this category. | |
| ARC VT100MK2 substitute I would think the Beryllium tweeter has a lot to do with that brightness. | |
| are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them Never heard them but they were on Stereophile's Rec Components List for years. | |
| UPGRADE TIME!! Preamp vs. Speakers??? Changing the speakers will make the biggest difference in sound. I would start there. | |
| 9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos? I own a pair of GE Triton Ones and the JC-1 is not too much power for them. I am using a 160wpc power amp and it sound stupendous, I can only imagine how wonderful it will sound with 400wpc and mono blocks no less. | |
| GoldenEar Releases Triton 2+ and Triton 3+ Revisions Why don't you just say what you mean? They came out with a refreshed pair of 2 and 3. The two has been around 5 years and the three for almost that. I'm slightly annoyed that I took delivery of a new pair of Triton twos on Dec 23, 2015 and paid... | |
| Advise on selling Pathos Classic One MK III The answer is pretty obvious, post the ad on Audiogon and sell it. | |
| Denon to Parasound All Odyssey amps double their power as the impedence drops. I would say it’s at least 200wpc. Depending on what options you get in your Khartago will determine the power output. The guy that designs Magico Speakers uses a Khartago in his lab, yes ... | |
| Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed Well, you guys sold me. I am ordering the DH Labs Power Plus tomorrow. You guys saved me over 8.00 per foot as well. My electrician friend says this is way overkill for a 15 amp circuit especially since there will be at most, a 8 amp draw on th... | |
| How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally? Both UPS and FedEx Freight do international. | |
| Denon to Parasound Remember, Odyssey is made entirely in the USA. Not sure about that Parasound. I know most of their stuff used to be made in China, not sure if they still are. At any rate, the Odyssey Khartago amp is the better amp by far. |
