| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Timrhu, yes solder is awful now. It cracks.Tbg Sure solder joints crack if not done properly. But they also will out live us if done correctly. | |
| Speaker cable suggestions Yep Audiogon allowes humor and I love it as much as I love and know the music. CzariveyWe heard you the first time. ;) | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? I think the reason bi-wiring from a single amplifier causes so much discussion is that it is sort of a poor man's bi-amping and in many cases does not result in significant sonic differences/improvements over single wiring with jumpers. Mitch2 Tha... | |
| Since solder is such a poor conductor, why use it? Crimp for a solid mechanical connection. Solder to add strength and rigidity.That's the way I learned it 40 plus years ago. Hve things changed since then? | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? Perhaps not, and of course there isn't a standard, but the amplifier output originates from a single positive pole and a single negative pole. Therefore, assuming only a small L/C/R effect from the speaker cables, is not the relative current draw ... | |
| Your Help Choosing Speakers needed If you are determined to pick up one of these sets of speakers I'd say go for the Dynaco. That said, you should keep looking and wait for something a little newer to come on the market. Best bet is to search AudioGon and Usaudiomart. You can searc... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem Hopefully they'll get better with more break in. I had a pair of Paradigm speakers years ago that sounded so bad I seriously wanted to return them to the dealer. My complaint was similar to yours, the high frequencies were rough and ragged. It too... | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? I have one pair of speakers that allow biwire. Although I have done it in the past, I couldn't hear any difference. Now that I'm 61-years-old I wouldn't bother listening for a difference so I no longer biwire.My other two pairs of speakers only al... | |

| Silicon Under 60, Slim Pickings? I owned a the Bel Canto eVo integrated tri-path amp years ago and liked it quite a bit. I sold it to move to the newer class d amp with the ICE modules. None of them had what I hear as "tube" sound. And the newer ICE amps are even further from my ... | |
| Silicon Under 60, Slim Pickings? My favorite low powered SS amp is the Cairn 4808A; 30 watts with the first ten in class A. These amps are older and hard to find and mine died just a few weeks ago :(If I can't get it repaired, and it's not looking likely, I'd like to try one of t... | |

| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? It's a zombie thread. | |
| Let's try this a different way then First off, after owning MG12s and MG1.6s I can say I'm not a Maggie guy. While I can hear the virtues in them, they just don't convey the music to me in a way that lets me relax and feel it. Always find myself listening to the speakers/system in a... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I bought a pair back in the early 80s when I was stationed overseas. "Party" speaker is an excellent descriptor for the 901s. You can really go loud with them.The amp was a Sansui B2101 with a Kenwood preamp and of course the source was all vinyl.... |
