| Help Requested Regarding Adcom GFA-555; Audio Research D-111; Maggie MG-IIIA I am going to take a stab at it. If you look at the connection panel for the Maggie 111a on the internet, you will see that there are separate inputs for the low frequencies and the high frequencies. Likewise, there are switches on the backs of th... | |
| Changing out 8?ohm for a 4ohm... Yes, you can, but it is rather approximate. Use your meter on the resistance scale (ohms), but understand that impedance is not resistance and the impedance will generally be noticeably higher than the resistance measurement. Sorry that math is c... | |
| Changing out 8?ohm for a 4ohm... The formula for determining the impedance of any speaker with parallel drivers is: 1 / (1/Z1 + 1/Z2 + ... + 1/Zn), where Z1, Z2, etc. are the impedances of the individual drivers. | |
| Selling towers - keep getting bad actors/scammers when doing local pickup only. I do it all of the time, though any salesperson thoroughly qualifies the potential buyer. I use Craigslist exclusively for local sales but Offer UP and Facebook Marketplace can work as well. Have sold dozens of items on Craigslist, as recently as ... | |
| Focals latest - Cat Houses? Ya, I've spent a few nights at the cat house, but it was a little cheaper than 70K. | |
| Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean Fantastic album and a great recommendation. Bill Evans and the MJQ rhythm section are peerless. I can highly recommend the Milestone twofer titled "What I Mean" which packages this album with The Cannonball Adderly Quintet Plus, another marvelous... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? I’m the wrong guy to ask, because I don’t hear that imaging thing in the concert hall, so would never tune for it. But why not just spring for a quad of your favorite tube? No reason to roll the dice, and the return thing no longer an issue, unles... | |

| Old SS amps Pretty easy, degradation of non-mechanical electronics is caused by degree of heat multiplied by time. | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? I tried it on a white label promo copy of Laura Nyro's first album, "More Than A New Discovery" and I can report unequivocally that it sucks. | |

| And a Happy 4th to all! No guano, let’s keep the forum clear of political discourse from both sides of the aisle. The tribalism and the members of the tribes should find another place to air their politics and contribute to the discussion here on audio issues. This is, a... | |
| Vinyl records & Discwasher cleaner Kudos goldenways for not moving your albums on, as so many others did. And ya, we all had Discwashers. I still have an NOS one in unopened packaging. Of course my record cleaning regimen moved on long ago, but I find it quite nostalgic to look at... | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! No, you are like a child that craps in the kitchen, because he is too lazy to walk into the bathroom. Politically, I am aligned with you, but I understand this is not the place for politics. But you cannot help yourself, can you? It’s time for you... | |
| And a Happy 4th to all! "I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum." So gano, how is that workin' for you? |
