| Dragon, RX-505 or DR-2 ? Congratulations! I would take nrenter’s advice and look into service. It’s worth the money. | |
| WADIA Who doesn’t want a Wadia? I’m no expert but I have paid attention when one was being used at audio shows I’ve attended. I was told once that the line included a 3,5 and 7 series, at that time, so the 3 series was probably the least expensive. Agai... | |
| Dragon, RX-505 or DR-2 ? I can only relate my experience. Although I don’t know the DR-2 I have owned the Dragon (that I bought from Willy Herman), and an RX-505 (serviced by Willy). Both machines worked flawlessly, and I still have the RX-505. I couldn’t hear much differ... | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? I haven’t seen the newest version, but the first (and probably the second, as well) were works of art. At $5500 (in 1990), they were a bargain. I’ll reiterate that used, early-version Sonus Faber speakers are a great investment. You won’t be disap... | |
| That "Wow" Moment! My daughter told me about 10,000 Maniacs early in their career. I told her I could never imagine listening to a group with such a ridiculous name. Then I heard Natalie Merchant sing and the rest is history. We've seen her live probably six times. ... | |
| New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet? As I predicted, the new Electa Amator Version 3 has been introduced. They were shown at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in 2018. They were introduced to celebrate the 35th birthday of Sonus Faber. The price is $10,000, including stands. Absolute Sou... | |
| Any Tekton users in UK??? Good luck with your Tekton speakers purchase. I just hope you don’t end up singing the blues. LOL | |
| Any Tekton users in UK??? Looks like an ad, complete with testimonial. Gee, “...are they really as good as they say?” Oh, brother!P.S. change “don’t” to “doesn’t.” | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? It appears that you’re right. I added my two cents about the Tekton thread yesterday, and the entire thread disappeared by the end of the day. The admins here probably don’t pull every negative thread, only when a particular product attracts an av... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? Remember that the porthole idea was brought to you by the same greedy minds that initiated the “Insider” club here on Audiogon. By now you probably realize that no amount of complaining on this forum will change it. Fortunately, there is a workaro... | |
| Where to get XLR male to male cable Your pictures support what you said. I can’t explain it. I did check the Tara Labs balanced cables that I used between my DR-6 and DR-15, and there is male on one end, and female on the other. I can’t explain the female output on your preamp. I ca... | |
| Where to get XLR male to male cable I’m no techie but I believe XLR cables are purposely made with a male on one end and female on the other. Check the labeling on your equipment, output on one component should go to input on the other. It may sound silly, but it’s an easy mistake t... | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? Classic rock (from the 60’s and 70’s) works for me. What doesn’t work for me are all the TV commercials that rip off “classic rock” in the hope of snagging viewers for the products they are selling. | |
| Marty Robbins... “Big Iron” was one of his big hits, and my personal favorite. I like to put it in the CD player and hit repeat. I like it that much. If you aren’t familiar with the song, google it on YouTube. You’ll understand. | |
| Need to suggestions who can repair broken RCA input jack on Classe Audio DR-8 No need for an explanation, things happen. I love the old Classe products (DR-8, DR-9, DR-3 VHC), and wish that I had kept my DR-6 preamp. I agree that sending it to Classe in Canada is probably the best choice, albeit expensive. I would think tha... |
