Question about quality of Meadowlark
Of all the audio components (not talking about racks, cables, cones, etc.), speakers are by far the most reliable. Think about it, there really isn't a whole lot there. A couple of drivers, a few crossover components, a bit of wiring, and a cabine... 
Analogue volume control on CDP
The Audio Aero Prima (at least, the older version) and Granite 657 can be added to this list. 
Help: my neighbor is killing my music....
Matchstikman, why won't you go talk to him?Reporting him to the authorities is the means in which we increasingly deal with our fellow human beings. It is sure to build ill will in him. And, if he does find out you are the one who reported him, he... 
Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand?
OK, Sogood51 and Muralman1 - THE Apogee gurus here - what do you guys think about the Apogee Caliper Signature for my room and loudness preferences?If it's a go, I'd probably contact Henry Ho about moving on one of his creative amplifiers. At that... 
Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand?
Thanks for the responses guys!Well, the listening room these would be in is 15' X 13', definitely on the small side for dipole speakers. If I were to commit to a pair of Apogees, I would have to commit fully to them. That means purchase the right ... 
Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand?
Dave, thanks for all of your information in this thread.I have been waiting for the right pair of Apogees to try for a while, and was conversing over the weekend with someone who seemed to know a good deal about the brand. In fact, he said the Due... 
Amplifier maintenance for beginners
No, I'm the one who should be apologizing! If you're using synthetic, 6000 miles is quite conscientous.I must admit being more than a bit lax on checking my tire pressure, though. Especially, with the weather changes we have here in the spring. I ... 
Amplifier maintenance for beginners
Come on, Snofun3! Are you trying to get this guy a repair bill? You need to change the oil in your amp much more frequently than every 6K miles. Sheesh... 
Tube bias and related ramblings very exciting
Excellent story, Nrchy. Not only informative, but both fun and funny. Bravo!While perhaps a coincidence, this Albert Porter character you've conjured up for the story seems eerily familiar. Could it be.............. Nah, couldn't be...As an aside,... 
Difference between First Sound Presence and Hotrod
Thanks for your post, Celebrat. Very informative and enlightening. You are a lucky man to have found such a unique and wonderful component and company. Enjoy it forever!!! 
what CD player between 1-2K
Agree on the used Audio Aero Prima. These players are VERRRRY close to the best out there while having an affordable pricetag.Also, there is currently a used Granite 657 here for sale. You really can do no better than this player without spending ... 
How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers
Bobby, I think I speak for everyone when I say you are a true friend to us here, and we also mourn your loss.For what it's worth, instead of always being here to offer your help, please, once in a while, accept ours. We're here for you, make use o... 
Which companies also offer good service??
I think the job that Ralph Karsten has done at AtmaSphere is about as good as one will find in any line of business. It seems as if after you have had contact with Ralph, you are a close friend.Also, want to mention Kevin Hayes of VAC, Bobby Palko... 
BAT vs. Quicksilver
Having had an episode with an amplifier company that embodied customer service at its worst, I have to tip my hat to the point Tubes108 makes. You are not just buying the amplifier, but the company. Making sure you form a relationship with a compa... 
What's the "worst" cdp for the money?
Exaggerating numbers is a male thing. Also, we always round up.
