| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Some of the older home theater preamps sell within your budget. Some are well thought of regarding two channel listening, and once sold for several thousand new.They are often sold due to no longer being up with the latest home theater technology.... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist I don't think we're supposed to use the term male or female anymore. It's offensive to some I guess. But most 'girls' I've dated like and enjoy good music. They didn't put a lot of energy into their setups but enjoyed mine. I gave my current girlf... | |

| LP storage? What do you use? Years ago record cabinets were pretty common. Some are nicely finished, some not so much. Some of the mid century modern units are beautiful to me, but of course can be pricey. I see a variety come and go on Craigslist. I have stacked cabinets (fr... | |
| Too many cans with no storage! Just looked and Head fi site has some threads on stands. I'm pretty sure that's where I remembered seeing them-gary | |
| Too many cans with no storage! A can?? What is a can?? Hilarious.I’ve seen some beautiful wooden stands online in the past. Can’t remember any models that would handle that many pair, though. They were laminated and heavy enough to be used as an exterior door header.I’m surpris... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? I have a 1200 mk2 and like it a lot. It is stock with an AT120 cartridge. I use the Technics overhang gauge and never have an issue with anything, it just plays records, no fiddling. Mine me was used but very clean. Personally, I would not buy a u... | |
| Hostility from manufacturers I'm glad to hear the success stories, thanks for sharing. Smart business leaders understand the value of service after the sale and the blessing of a good reputation.Being customer focused pays big time in my experience. Ironically, companies that... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I have a serious question. First of all I respect higher education although I don't have any.If engineering expertise can be applied in a factual manner to audio, why does a company not dominate as a result? Seriously, I often read what doesn't wo... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Back when had some vintage gear, I had Pioneer HPM100’s and JBL4312’s. I walked on my lips to get them and found I had a sensitivity to a resonance in their midrange area. Both found happy homes, but I wanted to like them!I was also lucky enough t... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure I've never seen any gear in the forums that can't be picked apart, improved with different drivers, and/or bettered. Speakers or otherwise. Name any piece of gear and I'll bet you somebody will tell you cheaper models and more expensive models tha... | |
| Jumpers Fwiw, some speaker manufacturers have given opinions in the past regarding wiring preferences.You might contact Tannoy or a knowledgable distributor or retailer. Or post a question for other owners of your speaker model. They may be able give a qu... | |
| Digital to 5.1 analog converter? Hi, unfortunately the preamp does not have a bypass option. I do have an older Adcom pre pro - I may give it a chance and see how it sounds in 2 channel.Thanks for the help,gary | |
| Digital to 5.1 analog converter? Thanks for the heads up. If I don't find a pretty inexpensive fix, I may just continue to use 2 channel for tv- I have a solid center image thankfully. Regards,gary | |
| looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. No.I have Silverline Minuets and like them a lot. May be worth a listen if you have an opportunity.A good point was brought up about changing to a tube amp, especially if the amp only generates a few watts. That move may limit your speaker options... |
