| Audiogon/HD Tracks $5 offer I've been a PC guy from day one, haven't ventured into MAC, so no, I haven't used AIFF, but just for info, when I converted Flac files to WAV, they retained all tagging info. | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? I don't think that too many would disagree that through time as equipment has improved, there is less of a line between the very best tubes vs ss. I'm sure we have all heard terrific systems from both camps. I have heard great systems with all kin... | |
| Audiogon/HD Tracks $5 offer Hi Peter, In my system, WAV is just better. In 90+ percent of recordings I have used, you could tell a difference. The Higher the quality of the recording, combined with higher bit rates and frequencies, the harder to tell the differences.On norma... | |

| Threshold, Parasound, Pass Labs or Nakamichi? I would first beg/borrow an amplifier from someone and try this to make sure the preamp section is not the culprit. | |
| Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred? Hello Skoczylas, A very good friend of mine has used a Red Wine 30 (upgraded) for quite some time, He has owned Lore S for about a month now and as many wasn't thrilled, he really wanted to stay with a good integrated, but recently came across a F... | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s Sorry Apfdirtdoctor, I didn't know of any articles. My old friend might have indeed read it. This was around 1980 to 1981. | |
| powering two pairs of Dahlquist DQ10s Years ago, I heard 2 sets stacked, the top set was upside down. The guy made a bracket that molded around the top edges of the bottom set and the top set slid into the bracket, then had screws or bolts go through the side of the brackets into the ... | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? A well designed tweeter of any material should never sound shrill or harsh. Again, whether you like the term "in general" or not, proper damping controls the rise and dips in any material and tweeter material in itself is not the deciding factor, ... | |
| Gas Ampzilla II vs Bedini I've heard most of the Gas (owned a son and grandson) and only the Bedini 25/25. I agree with Apfdirtdoctor about the sonic signature of the Bedini and comparing to the original Ampzilla. Except I thought the original ampzilla could get a little r... | |
| Good amp for Tekton lore s speakers? I don't know if you have solved this, I see the thread is 4 months old. As everyone has suggested, room treatments make a very nice difference in taming top end or absorbing room nodes on bass. If you cannot do much treatment, I would suggest if p... | |
| How Many Tweeters Does A Speaker Need?? in general, most designers only add tweeters to balance sensitivity differences between midrange and high frequencies. | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo You could most probably sell them both off and replace them with a very nice higher performance class D amp... You should out perform either of those and move it easily any time needed in the future.I hope this helps,Tim | |
| Help with Vintage B&K Power/Pre Amps The Pro 10MC was one of B&K's best products that they produced, it is a very listenable product, most likely worth a repair if not too costly. However, it is valued in the neighborhood of $250 right now. The Classe 50, is clearly a better prod... | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? Mezzanine, the Dyn and ScanSpeak tweeters are both very good, the few Morels that I have used had very good response curves and used at the right frequencies are excellent, not as detailed as they could be, but I have also found the Morels to have... |
