| Audio Research REF 750 pre July 4 FIRE WORKS. TUBE ARC. Inasmuch as the OP's situation has been addressed, and a fine example of Audiogon community support I would like to add, what stands out to me is why and how John Rutan has so distinguished himself! Stories of John's praise have appeared here for ... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had After many years of various speaker cables, I’ve settled on Analysis-Plus Solo 8 copper crystal. Straightwire Crescendo is very good, slightly warm. And XLO Reference 5 a great used bargain but quite stiff. I own and use all in my systems. The Har... | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? Alright, the faraday blanket lends support to the "external radiation"/Wi-Fi theory. As a (possibly amusing/enlightening) side story, I had tried substituting other equipment as part of my logical deduction, detective methodology and found that ... | |
| Never heard an amp do this before, ideas? I too was stumped when there was noise in my tube preamp and in my tube phono. Turns out to be the Wi-Fi modem and (especially) repeater boxes were too close to my equipment. I could hear the noise abate as I moved them 12 -15 ft away. It falls of... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp Sounds as if a compact, integrated EL-84 amp might just fit the bill for around 20 w/ch. There’s a newer Quicksilver and or older, refurbished Scott, Heathkit and Eico integrateds. EL-84’s were often the tube of choice back "when"....they still so... | |
| Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions? Wyetech Labs Opal with 6SN7's is the best sounding preamp I've experienced (also the Ruby). Instant and noticable appreciation of the soundstage expansion and dimensionality. | |

| Stratospheric audio gear prices Ha, well you certainly got a rise out of this crowd! In the end, the "educated consumer" makes the wisest decisions. Ergo the rational for this forum, the review industry, brick & mortar stores & dealers, shows, magazines, clubs, ....ya, n... | |
| Amp recommendations "Just Listen"...to you! "Love the sound", "Don’t feel you have to turn it up much", "20+ years on the tubes"," Listen to jazz and some pop". First, it does not surprise me one bit that you need to replace the tubes....way late! But, since you neve... | |
| Getting paid Unless the buyer is using a stolen credit card, in which case PayPal has the option (you sign this right away in the agreement) to come back and debit your bank account later!!) {moderator: pls correct me here if I’m wrong}. _here we go again._ I ... | |
| Negotiate good price Wow....douglas-schroeder, you nailed it. I stopped reading after that!Hello. | |
| Can anyone recommend an FM Receiver that would play into a relatively high end system? Magnum Dynalab 208, 209 | |
| Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones Sheesh....this thread...."Starts off real slow, then it fizzles out altogether" - Neil Young | |
| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? Sound, flexibility, price: iFi. | |
