| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Pair of mono blocks made by a local guy Dave Herrin (Portland Oregon). They just keep playing good music. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? I recently picked up a Tag McLaren preamp and I am tickled with the sonics and build quality. | |
| I blew up my receiver. Now what? Next time make sure you check the voltage requirements before plugging it in. If you would have noticed it was set for 120 or 110 you could have returned it or purchased a voltage converter to use with it. | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? AR11 in the late '70s and then a custom speaker made by alternative audio in portland oregon called LGT (little great towers) | |
| Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy? If I don't keep my hair cut above my ears it blocks the sound waves so I can't hear as much detail. I think your theory is a bit different but doesn't work for me. BTW the most interesting people I know have a slightly different slant on life th... | |
| purchasing US made speakers I too have a high frequency hearing loss. After struggling with tuning my system for years I finally went to an audiologist and got fitted with hearing aids. After having done this I am now enjoying music much more.As for speakers I would recomm... | |
| What type of cord is this and where can I buy it? If you only have two jacks coming out of mini jack just try flipping the connection and see if you get a picture and sound.

| Good entry level cables Blue Jeans cable. They are based in Seattle you can get a 6 foot pair of LC1 with RCA connectors for about $50. They are low capacitance so they do not filter highs the way higher capacitance cables will. They manufacture them when you order. ... | |
| Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry? Audio cable companies are such a small subset of the wire electrical wire industry that it is highly unlikely that a manufacturer of cable will be able to justify the cost of producing a different weave of the stranding of the cable.I had a Coda F... | |
| Don't like vinyl I like vinyl my main source of recorded music.But if you don't like it don't listen to it. Not worth a blog entry | |
| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k As with all audio components and any other manufactured item for that matter. The more you spend the less increase in perceived performance. Called diminishing returns. I have always dreamed of getting a Coda phono section but just can't justif... | |
| Youngsters these days. " My 24 year old grandson finished his tour in the service recently and has been staying with us for the past several months. He got himself a good job, to help out and take care of himself, while deciding what to do in the future - back to sc... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? I had a Coda Fet 02b preamp about 20 years ago which I bought directly from Coda since they had a large number of circuit boards on hand after the model was discontinued so they did a limited manufacturing run to use the spare inventory up. They ... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Well I collect tools as I am working on projects. Then when I let my daughter and son in law borrow them I have to go collect some more since they hardly ever come back to me. |
