| Blind squirrels and such-Ncore 400 Well I went ahead and rebuilt them. I used a lighted magnifying glass and better bits and parts. Still can't solder worth a darn but it works. I am imagining that I hear a little bit smoother response. Could be just that, my imagination. Next ste... | |
| Has anyone heard the Vandersteen Quattro wood CT Yes, but not in a familiar room or kit. I've owned the 1's and the 2's and have a friend with 5's. So I'm biased. The Quattro wood is one of few speakers I've heard that I'd consider over my Chapman's. Very engaging and emotionally moving. Can go ... | |
| Does anyone else think this I recently assembled a vintage system for my son and daughter-in-law. 40 year old Pioneer integrated and tuner, Sonograph CD and Fried speakers. He is thrilled, his wife even more so. So there's hope. Assembled a system for my daughter and son-in-... | |
| What is Best SS AMP for $2000 and under? Just a note on Frank Van Alstine. I've had a chance to visit his shop (the basement of his home at the time) in Burnsville. A fine gentleman and delightful music for reasonable money. I've owned various things from him over the years and have been... | |
| Chapman Speakers? I remain deeply satisfied with my T77SE's after nearly eight years. Long tenure for me. Haven't heard anything I'd rather have unless out of reach, like the Sonus Faber's last week that made me weep. But they were $76K. I could cry. Guess I'll jus... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 2nd giving the Huffman's a try. They knocked out all the other contenders in my system. Who knows what they might do for yours. | |
| A new home for Chapman T77SE's Well it's now 2014 and the Chapmans still reside in the big rig-the longest tenured loudspeaker of my life. Went to audition some local offerings from $5K-$25K. Liked the $5K the best(Maggies)although would not live with the low end for long witho... | |
| horace silver has died I'm with Schubert, "Song for My Father" is desert island worthy in my house. Played it last Saturday. | |
| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review Waiting time to receive speakers? I'd be happy to have a phone call returned or email answered to place an order. | |
| Budget SC for Rogue and Vapor Another shout out for Grover Huffman's products. Compared against half dozen others for interconnect and speaker with varying electronics, but always the same speakers-Chapman T77SE's a one off of his T-9. Huffman's quickly distinguished from all ... | |
| How far have you gone? Albuquerque, NM to Arena, WI for a pair of Chapman Audio T77SE speaks. A buddy picked them up in Milwaukee for me. Took me a year to go get them. He took really good care of them by playing them constantly. I gave him my Vandersteen 2CE's in excha... | |
| Reality cables or Grover Huffman I was very happy with Reality cables with Chapman speakers with B&K, or Aragon and now Ncore amps until I auditioned the Huffmans, along with 6-7 other brands. I expected to spend a good deal of time on an interconnect and speaker cable shoot-... | |
| Class D or Hybrid Amp for Fritz Rev 7 speakers If you have an interest in building an amp, I was able to build the Ncore 400's with zero prior experience-had to learn how to solder on YouTube. Out went the B&K mono blocs, the Aragon 8008BB, and the Classe blocs. Not even close right out of... | |
| Joule-Electra. Is it still in businessd? i had a very different experience. Picked up the phone and spoke directly with Mr. Barber. He was gracious and patient answering my questions even though I am not a Joule owner. | |
| Now I See Star, cow, dog. The progression of money driven enterprises. Begin with something bright and shiny, maybe even innovative and exciting; milk it for all it's worth, beyond when it has actual cachet; and then peddle a never ending series of upgrades... |
