| Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models? Come on spill the beans....what discount did you get? That was the purpose of your thread | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! If everyone got it right the first time, there would be very little need for Audiogon. | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB and adopt A/AB to give consumers more info on how the amp operates. What are the benefits/drawback of two identical 100w amplifier but one is biased for the first 10w in Class A (A/AB = 10/90) wh... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important You mean I don't need to purchase the $700 AnalogMagik software, the $600 SMARTracker, the $150 torque headshell screw driver and spend a 1/2 day setting it up the cartridge to enjoy vinyl replay? | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @lewn wrote The only full bore turntable/SL tonearm available now comes from Germany, I think, but I cannot recall its name. Another German company, Brinkmann may also make one. I believe you are referring to Bergmann and not Brinkmann | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? Don't take insurance advice from an Audio forum, although the information "may be" correct, contact your agent for advice and support. Accidents happen and don't beat yourself up about it, it happens to everyone. I agree that you should take a m... | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer PayPal may support you due to the fact that the dealer has a 1-year warranty on tubes. You will need to send the tube back to the dealer so that they can get a replacement from their supplier and to determine the source of the failure. | |
| VPI Classic 3 or SME 20/2 If the table is used and well priced, there is little financial downside as the SME is a desirable table and can be easily resold. No risk, no reward. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes, how do you make a power cord that blocks DC? | |
| TNT Hot Rod vs SL-1200G @cleeds and @bpoletti I believe that this is the VPI TNT that the OP is referring to here http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Turntables/VPI/TNT-HR/Complete-w-Cartridge-and-Stand/187...The only thing that the seller changed was swapping o... | |
| TNT Hot Rod vs SL-1200G First of all, the TNT is not a MK5 Hotrod. The HR does not have a removable arm board. The corner posts look like home made or after market. If you google TNT you will not see another table with these types of corner post. IMHO, for the above r... | |
| Difficulty with SoundStageDirect Those who focus on “cash” are a bit misguided. If I paid in rubies and diamonds what is the difference? I may still be screwed. And you might be living in the dark ages as you don’t need to live next door to pay cash!!! If you paid cash then ... | |
| Line Magnetic 518ia - How Much Heat Does It Produce? It could work depending on where you live. In the northern part of the country, in the spring/fall/winter months, a touch of tube warmth is welcomed. In the summer, the heat could be problematic. | |
| Infirmations about audioresearch LS 26 "Gain" Just match the input level which gives you the most usable range on your volume control. | |
| Difficulty with SoundStageDirect Interesting post from a former SSD employee who created an account esrlier this morning on a SH forum (don’ know how to post link) to provide a first person status update. Bottom line...you are not wrong. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thread... |
