| If you have ever bought anything from HSU research Looks like this was a private feud that made little sense. In any case, I have bought three subs from them and consulted them in the process and had nothing but good experience with them.Amazingly cost effective speakers. | |
| Preamp with external processor loop Quite a few of the Conrad Johnsons have processor loops - my Premier 14 has two. It also has remote control. | |
| Koetsu black, lacking bass I love Koetsus but having said that I was never that impressed with the Black as I have listened to several other cartridges that equalled or surpassed it for less money.Still lacking bass would seem to indicate a problem with set up or arm synerg... | |
| What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found? My suggestion would be to find out what your room is doing before seeking solutions to issues you may or may not have. If you live near a local B&M store that installs home theatres, or an AV installer, chances are they have a program that wi... | |
| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps You want to seek a good sounding amp, and unless you have difficult speakers to drive, the type is irrelevant.I have two systems with Class A, one with AB and one with tubes. | |
| Cat jumped on turntable Yeah - I've bought albums with clawed covers before (always at a discount, of course). It only annoys me when it the little blighters have scratched off the printing so I can't tell what they are without pulling them.Frankly, kids and animals have... | |
| Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers?? @ bailyhill I have had the same pair of speakers since 1984---Apogee Scintilla Ribbons. Still have them and enjoy them more than ever. If you ever want to part with them, let me know. I have the amps to drive the heck out of them at 1 ohm se... | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Uhm, take a look at your own system and tell me you've never had someone shake their head at how much you've spent. Yup - my wife. Repeatedly! | |
| $27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? One thing that you have to understand is that the finish on the Wilsons really is the equivalent of a high end automotive concours job. Some of the other painted speakers are equivalent to a quick Maaco sand and spray.Having said that, and underst... | |
| Funny Story Had the same issues, although my amps are only around 120 lbs. each. My main speakers are 450 lbs. each, though and a mistake can end in a loud and damaging crunch. Suggest that you rent a stair climbing hand truck with strapping to move them. Y... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Tubes are inherently tweakier than solid state. You can have tubes that have gone a bit 'microphonic' that need to be weeded out as a first step. Power up the phono stage with the cover off and the volume at midrange, and very gently tap each tu... | |
| Class A 30 Watt Amps: Are they enough to drive my book shelfs? I use a Class A amp that outputs 40 watts but will drive just about anything - they were driving 1 ohm Scintillas when I bought them, and one of the currently drives a pair of speakers that are 86 dB efficient.I don't know those Pass amps but I do... | |
| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Listened to the M1s when they were new and was very impressed. I would have gone for Apogees at the time (just missed a pair of Scintillas which are a bear to drive but sounded very good). | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! If you are going to ask for a TT to sit beside your new Wilson Chronosonic speakers, that would be the one. Just how much of that price is 'because we can' plus the blingy bits would be interesting.I have never been a huge fan of their tonearms, ... | |
| SME and OL tonearms.... $2K? Get a good used SME V arm. |
