| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I just wish Harbeth would open a plant in China…they could put a 40.2 in every home in the world! *sigh*…. | |
| They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why? I don’t see any difficulty finding high end pricing as it’s seemingly always mentioned in reviews and often in simple audio show blurbs, and if this is really an issue why not call a dealer? I also like high end watches and sports cars that certai... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Does that reviewer have any furniture? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Trigger warning! Fragile egos should look away now. When an expensive (compared to other, less audiophile specific marketed items) product is promoted and its pricing and return policies are detailed ad nauseum in a PUBLIC FORUM it becomes fair ga... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... Brings up an interesting thing I notice in audio magazines...the always wireless and generally ampless and everything elseless cool man speakers in cool man modern rooms for advertising pics. It's as if your wealthy neighbor liked the looks of you... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Clearly a fuse that blows because it's NOT the manufacturer's specified rating is badly designed, or, more weirdly, improperly rated…would you put an improperly rated fuse in your motorcycle? Would you trust a company that designs and markets that... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Why should anybody ever step off the "merry go round?" I'm old…wait…*cough*…*snort*…and I sometimes change things simply from boredom or hey…CURIOSITY…I really hope I never get so old I no longer wonder about things like other sorts of speakers, o... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos Yeah…if you tour (although most bass players don't) you better take extra tubes along, especially in that KT150 amp I now am certain somebody will build due to the popularity of this thread (!). The SVT has to get the award for longevity as they'r... | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 Stereo Power Amplifier to drive Andra speakers!Is it a good choice Adcom produced a LOT of amps including improved versions of some of them, with reviews all over the map relative to the model. The big mono amps were raved about, as well as the 5800 and 5500...I owned a few of the also well regarded el cheapo 535... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The reliability of any fuse is something you should ABSOLUTELY be able to count on, as well as trust that the manufacturer of any fuse is sophisticated enough to accurately rate what is essentially (or only) a safety item. If they're not able to a... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I realize that many people attempt to listen to audio systems while living in rugless or carpetless environments devoid of furnishings and surrounded with reflective surfaces like some sort of insane Bauhaus nightmare of sonic reflections, rendere... | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos Here's too much information: bdp24…You’re correct sir, exactly why I said "make a KT150 based BASS amp?" After around 5 decades of pro guitar playing, I currently mostly use a rare Reverend Goblin 5/15 watt 6V6 push pull all tube combo amp with a ... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I have a glass coffee table right in front of my listening sweet spot…I put a couple of throw pillows on top (covering 90% of the thing, and 100% of the area that would reflect anything into my ear balls), problem solved. And, I can then put my fe... | |
| speaker shopping Zephyr…it's based on what I can see and hear. I have years of experience that has taught me that everyone should like what I like, and do what I do. That fact that nobody actually does this is mysterious. | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 Stereo Power Amplifier to drive Andra speakers!Is it a good choice I still have a very inexpensive (bought used anyway) Adcom 5300 (!) that I use for extra (window placed for deck duty) speakers that sounds great. I've had a bunch of Adcom stuff over the years including preamps and a few other amps and all of the... |
