| Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers PS Audio designed and had built ALL of the drivers used in the FR30. Not even the OP here has EVER done that!! The tweeters, midranges, woofers, and passive radiators are all PS Audio designs, by Chris at PS Audio. Inspired by the IRS V. I w... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? You can drive a Mustang. You can drive a Porsche. You can’t drive a dubious power cable. This entire thread mocks itself, as it tries to talk down what it doesn’t agree with, while lambasting those who don’t agree. Just dumb. | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system To get really good, satisfying, enjoyable vinyl playback needn’t be expensive. I have 18 turntables, all legacy designs. I have 130 vintage cartridges. I have 5,000 LPs. Anyone who says you must spend $2K+ on a table, $2K+ on a cartridge, $2K... | |
| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? I listened to them last month at PS Audio, in their listening room. Phenomenal! They deliver more than as advertised. For $30K/pair, they are truly a bargain. Don’t know how long they’ll stay at $30K, though. They truly do set a new bar. Chris to... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? @barts I bought my dbx discs in 1990. The base Exchange was closing out its entire stock of records. Dbx discs were $15.95 each. They reduced the entire stock to $1 each. I spent $125 in one day. 53 dbx discs. I bought every Nautilus disc and Te... | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? I have 2 Aiwa AD-F780 (1988) 3-head dual capstan drive decks. I play cassettes regularly. Most are pre-recorded commercial tapes. I love the sound! I also have 2 Technics RM240X decks, with dbx, that I listen to. Still very good playback of 47 dbx... | |
| Tube shortage? I have 4 crates of USA-made tubes. Salvaged from a warehouse in 1990. Im set for life! I prefer US made tubes over Slovakia, Russian, China tubes. Longer life and more precision. Not better sound; the BEST sound! | |
| The panic selling of tube audio had begun. I don’t own any tube/valve gear/kit. But I have around 2500 audio tubes, NOS NIB. Got them in wood crates from a dump in 1990. All USA or European. From a warehouse that closed down and was leveled for new construction. Crates say Sherwood on them... | |
| TT speed Use an arc protractor. Align stylus tip to arc for full sweep. Make parallel to only 1 grid, inside or outside, your choice. DONE. No guessing. No trial and error, no back and forth. The 2-point protractor is archaic and very inaccurate. I ha... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Voltage regulators in the power supply also filter out LF, MF, HF, RF, UHF, UUHF. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? There’s an ADC 10E-4 right now, $65. Not much of a hunt, really. | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality Darren at PS Audio is smart, no doubt. But as an electrical engineer myself, and a mechanical engineer also, Darren makes no sense. If RF was really a problem in the 2-meter power cord, then everyone would have to turn off their phones when power... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I wonder if the chakster who appears in this thread is the same chakster that appears in AudioKarma? Selling your ADC 26 in here was your mistake. You need a bigger audience, more exposure. You’d sell it quickly on eBay, with a reserve price.... | |
| Any tubes currently manufactured in the US, Japan or Germany? Korg “tubes” are nothing but modified VFDs. Vacuum Fluorescent Displays. Not a real good substitute for well designed tubes. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I read through this thread with some interest, and a lot of experience with ADC cartridges. while I no longer have the ADC 1 (MM),I have ADC carts representing every generation until the demise of ADC/BSR in 1985. I have the 1963 ADC Point 4 wit... |
