Duel turntable setups
Sorry Russ, hard for me to bite my tongue.How would someone setup 2 turntables in a duel? Back to back and start at the same time.On a serious note, I did try to Google for images using different wording. Dual means 2, however the only thing that ... 
~$4,000 home theater + music system?
The PSB Imagine T2 should not be used with that Yamaha receiver. Stereophile's measurements on the speaker showed a minimum impedance of 2.4 ohms with a severe phase angle in the mid-range. It is recommended that the speaker be used with an amplif... 
My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright!
Have rolled quite a few 6922/7308/6DJ8. The early Siemens 6922/E88CC with gray shield was one of my favorites and always sounded excellent, never bright. Sometimes they may be labeled RCA, made in West Germany. 
adding center speaker to existing stereo system
"I think the idea that you should ONLY add a matched center is unnecessarily puritanical, and my own listening tests have shown to me that adding a different center, when done right, is a big improvement over a phantom center. Have you done this e... 
adding center speaker to existing stereo system
Erik, you certainly have the right to your opinion, however, I only agree with it for one particular scenario.I worked in the A/V industry for ~25 years, mainly dealing with mid to upscale products. The latter 15 years was spent with increasing ti... 
adding center speaker to existing stereo system
Obviously you are sitting in the center between your current speakers for music. Assuming you sit in that same position for movies, what are you missing or what are you hoping to gain? I'm thinking it should sound good. If I were to add anything f... 
What is the most important component in your system.
Usually different opinions on questions like this. I've always said the source component and I could bring over my 8 track player with some tapes to show you how bad your system could sound. 
Dynaudio Xeo 2 Speaker Input Issue
Are you actually disconnecting (unpair) the Bluetooth device before trying the other inputs? Then select another input. 
price of Oppo players threw the roof
+1 for audioengr Just curious as to what the story line would be for a sequel to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" that was titled "Threw the Looking-Glass". :-) 
On Line Audio Mail Order Retailers
Have bought some gadgets and accessories from B&H and Newegg. Both have been excellent with pricing and the transaction process. Both offer great specials frequently. Purchased some APC and Cyberpower battery backups at below 50% of retail. Bo... 
Klipsch vs Infinity
As oddiofyl said, the Klipschorn is fully serviceable. Repair and parts are readily available. As far as the serviceability of the Infinity Irs Gamma, good luck with that. Besides that, I would still choose the Klipschorn. If "X" dollars buys a go... 
tubes and current
You have a severe amp/speaker mismatch. Your amp is designed for a high sensitivity, benign impedance speaker. The B&W805 D3 is not even remotely close to being that type of speaker and better suited for a solid state amp that is stable with a... 
Positive-Negative On BInding Posts
Get a 1.5 volt battery and use this trick. When the woofer pushes out, the positive of the battery is connecting to the positive of the speaker. If the woofer pulls in, then the positive of the battery is connecting to the negative of the speaker.... 
Impedance Matching Question
Thanks George for the iTube comments.astelmaszek - initially I thought the iTube2 at $399 was more than I wanted to spend, however after finding a deal on the iTube for $239 shipping included, I’m thinking that’s just a little more than the Burson... 
How Many Brimars Are There??
"See the pretty label. UK does not use the 12AX7 code."I'm thinking they did. There's many Brimar tubes out there similar to that 12AX7. For over 20 years, I have had the remainder of a Brimar 12AT7 bulk pack. Originally had about 65 of a 100 tube...
