| I'm considering used Vandersteen Quatro Vandy 2CE speakers are incredible sounding bargains…seem to always be available used with stands for peanuts. | |
| Zu audio advice Tekton is another brand I find interesting, and amazingly inexpensive…I'm tempted to order a custom veneered (zebra ebony…swamp recovered logwood...dagwood…tuck & roll) something or other someday as the high efficiency is tempting…then I could... | |
| Spectron Musician ii issue Having been a guitar and hifi amp user since the 60s, I am extremely anti issue…meaning I fully expect everything I own to never break…ever. Sometimes stuff dies anyway, although rarely, but if an amp gets weird more than once in a couple of years... | |

| tel t zero vs sumiko s.0 My newly acquired REL Q108 MKII (a score from Ebay) is rated at -6db @23 hz…and sounds like it. I have a large deck off my listening room and I put speakers in the windows for deck music…driven by a second amp from my main rig with the little 108 ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Reading a review of a new Pass amp last night I noticed it has NO fuses…I suppose you can add one later... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound Do I want to see reviews of a new minivan, or the new McLaren? Answer: The McLaren. High performance car reviews often put the cars through some tough driving you are likely never be able to do unless you live near a track, but audio stuff sits t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I think you're all insane, but mildly entertaining. | |
| Cary slp-98p tube phono tube recommendations? I think the Russian version of the Gold Lion (there's also a "licensed" Chinese version I haven't heard) 12AX7s are a bargain…nice tight sound and reliability, seemingly flawless build quality. |
