| Oswaldsmillaudio, ever heard of it. ebm- I'm transitioning. | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE I’m fascinated by this subject but have not thrown money at it. I messed around with star grounding in the past, did have one of those cheapy Granite Audio boxes that, to my understanding, was like star grounding everything at one place, but gave ... | |
| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? Norb- my suspicion is the audio clubs, such as they are--there seems to be a resurgence of them now-- are the most likely places to find the flatteners and expensive cleaning machines as a part of a group buy. | |
| Would anyone be interested in a timeshare on an Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner Pro? I have a suggestion, having owned both the AD and the KL along with a big Monks:a DIY using an ultrasonic bath that permits you to control heat and use a surfactant, plus one of those record rotisseries (I think the preferred one for little money ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener @audioconnection : I take your point. Believe it or not, I do not own a CD player. Oh, I’ve had many over the years, just gave them all away before I moved. I was thinking about buying a pretty good one for the vintage system downstairs, so it’s n... | |
| Oswaldsmillaudio, ever heard of it. He had (probably still does) an old stone building/"mill" in Pa. which is, I think, the work shop studio for some stuff, though I believe that the horn makers he uses are third party, probably some other stuff built to his spec and aesthetic. Ther... | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? @almarg -Wow. | |
| Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ? There was a tube integrated by VAC (which I’ve never owned) about 10 or more years ago that was absolutely gorgeous, glass front. I think he did these at a loss, and they are hard to find today, not cheap.PS: looked it up, it was the Phi Beta 110 ... | |
| Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...) Raw (or Chuck): I think you’ll ultimately be better off with the simplest of old school components long term. I really liked yakbob’s suggestion for a couple of reasons- the 7T was derided in its day compared to the earlier (and far more desirable... | |
| Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...) +1 yakbob, good stuff and far more sensible approach than mine. Well done. | |
| Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...) I am in the process of assembling a vintage second system, based largely on components I’ve owned for decades, but had not restored. It is in some ways a serious system, and in other ways, has limitations, but it is truly period and has resale val... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener For what it’s worth, I don’t like running my main speakers through some external crossover. I am concerned that additional electronics in the way of the main speakers will cause a loss of transparency. I let them play full range, and feed the subs... | |
| CD players = dead? @williewonka thanks. | |
| Allnic 1201 and Herron VTPH-2 I can’t weigh in on the sonics merits of these two pieces (though I do own a piece of Allnic gear) but have a different observation and a suggestion: the audio press, such that it is, rarely does "shoot-outs" of comparable gear for many reasons. A... | |
| CD players = dead? @williewonka ’s observation-- that CD is following the path of vinyl- rings true in some ways, but it hasn’t had its resurgence yet. I’ve been a ’vinyl only’ guy forever, and am only now starting to look at CD as a serious medium. Why? Access to m... |
