| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Components in well designed amps are selected for their sound quality and reliability, often from actual listening to the differences between them, and designers clearly understand the logical design parameters of the components. "Special" fuses h... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers The loss of most audio retail joints has made it difficult to hear stuff. I'm interested in hearing a pair of modern "Heritage" Klipsch Heresy IIIs as a not too expensive high efficiency speaker option (to go with my low powered single ended amp),... | |
| Audioquest During a chance run-in with Bill Low at a local high end joint, he explained that the bi-wire cable I'd recently made from Type 8 wasn't going to provide the magnetic separation/isolation that one apparently needs. Hmm…so I bought a pair of Rocke... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Geoffkait is right…you can also get most of the joy of driving high performance cars from video games, and great food is available by simply looking at photos of it. It's not necessary to go outside to experience nature when high def TV has it all... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters This thread is a bass fishing tournament. | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Jazz is my fave also, especially piano trios (my beatnik phase kicked in about a decade ago…it's never too late). Any great system should support whatever style of music you put through it, and mine now has an SEP tube amp of 12 watts per side, an... | |
| walter becker Rest in Peace "11 Tracks" is one of the utterly under appreciated albums of all time and I also have had that thing on heavy rotation since the get-go. "Circus Money" was also astonishingly cool. | |
| Tech That Flopped! Sorry Teo, but if you post something you clearly don't know much about you may get a response from somebody who does know about it, and thus you learn something. You're welcome. | |
| walter becker Rest in Peace I was hoping Becker was working on another solo album as I love his other 2, as well as being a Steely Dan fan from the first album on. Back in the 70s if you were a working musician like I was you were generally astonished at what these guys came... | |
| Tech That Flopped! Teo should be aware of the piles of sealed box guitar speakers (most Marshalls, and many, many others), the actual extremely sophisticated bass amp rigs of varying types (some of which I own and use) utilized by professional musicians far more awa... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Here's what you do. Try a component and if it's not so good, sell it and try something else. Read reviews with a grain of salt, try to distinguish between blowhard or delusional posters who are adamant about some minor tweak with imagined benefits... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring There are mountains of relatively inexpensive gear designs that sound world class, and all you need to do is listen to things prove this point. Trust your ears…audio is certainly one place where the cost doesn't guaranty higher performance, and it... | |
| jolida 502b manual bias adjustment I recently sold my 502p…a great amp that served me well for years. The 12AX7s are on the "inside" of the small tube pairs. I had a "Littlite" gooseneck light over the amp that I would hang the bias meter cables over to keep them under control when... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? That $199 add-on doesn't work with older RELs for reasons I find mysterious (does it require a specific input that older models lack?). In any case…LAME... | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Tubes are more interesting, and I think they generally sound better than transistors (except for live pro sound reinforcement stuff, or I'm just lazy)…I recently stuck some extra tubes in a closed cel foam block so I could look at them instead of ... |
