| Synergistic Red Fuse ... More noble sound? What the heck is that? Sweeter treble? Lower and more saturated bass? Unlikely, or more to the point, likely having zero to do with the fuse, but if these things did occur I want to know WHY the fuse made this possible. I'm remin... | |
| Turntable? Somebody (not me) has a Basik/Akito for sale on A'gon…I had to rewire mine with a Jelco-Mogami "DIN" cable (Mogami "Neglex" in weird pink) as the original cable was in bad shape, and that had the benefit of reducing cartridge hum bigly. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated Sonist. Not sure if I've seen much negative about those anywhere. | |
| Tekton Electron has been released I like Tekton's ideas mostly, but man…no attempt to make these things look nice. Exceptions there of course, like getting an ebony veneer on some Tekton things, but when I sit to listen I like an esthetically pleasant looking speaker…maybe that's ... | |
| Larsen Loudspeakers Oh yeah…those things. Very cool. I read a review someplace and thought they looked innovative, which is often rare these days…and regarding room absorption using "any speaker" (not including Ted Talks), I'm a big believer in furniture and carpets ... | |
| Any pluses or minuses to the older McIntosh mc275 compared to the newer mc275's IV, V, VI? The little LEDs under the tubes in the newer 275s are adorable and worthy of mention. Or maybe not, but it's too late now. | |
| Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power? What about gas powered amps? Nuclear? Some limitations maybe, but might sound fabulous. | |
| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile Tube Loaner…that sounds like an audiophile Marvel Comics character (Although "loner" would be more apt). Expecting somebody to "loan" a fragile glass object seems naive (Evian spelled backwards), but I think many tube sellers would exchange tubes... | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? I get paid (some may say "overpaid") to mix live concerts so I know what music sounds like, until I ruin it with my mixes…anyway, regardless of the opinions of any anti tube crusader, tube are more fun. They just are. By the way, being anti tube c... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? Hey moderator! Geoffkait is picking on me! WHAAAA...Just wait until I get my new speakers…then people will like me!…*sniff*... | |
| ATC ACTIVE VS PASSIVE There could be a revolt among "stand alone" amp designers…imagine over half a dozen angry amp techs marching on Washington. | |
| Turntable? I don't advocate an "entry level Linn" to anybody who wants an inexpensive new table, but, el redundo amundo, I think a lot of the new and inexpensive stuff is killer for small money. I also was recently interested in "The Classic" from Pro-Ject b... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa…are you implying that people disagreeing with what they feel are ridiculous claims by audio mythologists are likely to be involved in domestic violence?...it looks like you are, and the lack of mirth among the proponents of overpriced p... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? I do like "Smell the Glove" by Spinal Tap. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... There's nothing "negative" about exposing the silliness of some tweaks…it's more like a clear and clarifying wind of truth that gently blows the smoke of mysticism out of the minds of fools to help them see clearly…or something. |
