| What say you? Appropriate cables shouldn’t cost more than $3/ft. If you spend more, you’ve been made a fool of. Lots of audio phools out there. | |
| Thank you millercarbon More power cables……Uuugghh! Lets not even consider the power available to the house circuits. Don’t need to!! These cables will fix it! Right…….! | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? This question started being asked as far back as 1948, re: subs+satellites.LOTS of articles in the 1950s. Subs+satellites are very efficient for room sizing/placement. They don’t require impossible “best placement” that large boxes/baffles get you... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? If you managed to get a receipt for the IOU that he *signed*, you’re in the clear on ownership of the records. If NOT, he can come back and burn you in small claims court—again. After 11-12 years, he could DENY you ever loaned him money. You lose!... | |
| HiFi vs MidFi To MC:It depends on what the definition of “is”, is….Count yourself in clouded in “we” and “us”, and “their”! Unless you identify as a “non-human.” | |
| Hardy cartridge I own many ADC carts and have NEVER broken or damaged one in 40+ years. Truly, if you’re really that clumsy, NO cartridge is safe in your hands! Not a Grado, AT, Shure, Ortofon, or heaven forbid an MC cartridge! I have the ADC Point 4 with nude co... | |
| How long do good speakers last? I have my dad’s 1964 Wharfdale W70D speakers. Still in pristine condition. Original everything, and still sound good. I may replace the cloth woofer surrounds with butyl rubber. The tweeter surrounds are black felt. Wharfdale used materials that w... | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? Just get good SS and enjoy!Thats why I dislike tubes. Way too temperamental. | |
| New to Turntables That “Pats Audio Adjustable Azimuth Headshell” is too expensive. At least for me, since I have 108 cartridges. Half are on headshells. I just buy the $7 aluminum headshells. I can add mass, adjust azimuth, easily file the slots longer, remove the ... | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL Out of stock because they haven’t even made 50 yet. | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? Best way to prolong your preamp tube life is to use a SS preamp. | |
| Cartridges with that musical coherence - having heard it, I need to learn more Sold my Shelter 5000 a year ago. Sold my Koetsu Rosewood 2 years ago. Very fine cartridges. But neither cart outdid my 1970 ADC 10E MKIV with the nude elliptical R-25(1) stylus. It has an extremely low mass and short cantilever. Even though it’s n... | |
| Amp craftmanship/Quality I’m still playing my dads HH Scott tube StereoMaster receiver. Only thing I’ve changed are the tubes. No maintenance since new in 1962. | |
| Thinking Out Loud Ghdprentice:A good Phonostage is costly but worth the investment. I have never heard a good one for less than a couple thousand. So, think buying used.You don’t get out much, do you? | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. I’ve been using 2005 vintage Velodyne DLS 12” subs and still find no need to upgrade. It’s a powered sub with VC accelerometer servo control for the Distortion Limiting System. Fully adjustable everything with a remote. I prefer the tight servo co... |
