| 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... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. Try:Albert PorterPost over on WBF and call out for Carl- his handle over there is "cjfrbw" (Perhaps he posts here too).Christian/Rockitman, who I'm pretty sure has the head amp. | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. I have the H3000, but not the head amp. No hum, I had some tube squeal that was solved by replacing the tubes-supplied by Allnic through then distributor David Beetles. If you are in the States, Albert Porter is now the importer. I know one guy-- ... |
