| Dirty little secret of Pedigreed, decades old Speaker line - no one will address What a bizarre post. YGs billet core process has a lot going for it from a structural and materials perspective if the intention is to make a metal coned driver. It's biggest drawback is that it's expensive and relativel time consuming - even on a... | |
| Not sure what to think @OP, if you could not hear a difference then there are other factors at work - system/room/you own auditory discrimination faculties. That's premised on what your post says i.e. that the two were indistinguishable from each other. As other posts... | |
| Quandary @OP - you should find a dealer who will allow you a home audition of the amp for free. Offering to waive the $300 cost if you purchase is a clever sales tactic to subtly pressure you into buying in order to recoup your $300 outlay. In addition, i... | |
| Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT @OP The pulleys on that generation of Clearaudios were either an interference fit or else secured with a small delrin grubscrew - so at least they are easy to get off. You'll need someone good at maths to calculate the new size to account for the ... | |
| Great song by the Clash The Clash's cover of I Fought the Law first appeared on The High Cost of Living EP which also included outstanding songs like Groovy Times and Gates of the West. It was never off my turntable after it was released in 1979 - before London Calling. ... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? In the European Union, the contract is between the endpoint seller and purchaser of the goods so the retailer is legally obliged to handle warranty issues. A much better system IMHO. Given the situation in the US, it appears there's no alternativ... | |
| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? Yes - so I moved to a detached house. To be fair, it was mostly when I was jamming to Rory Gallagher :)) | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps @OP There is no problem unplugging your equipment at the component end. Just be absolutely sure to do it after turning off the relevant components. The biggest risk in thunderstorms is to anything that's connected to an antenna like a radio aeri... | |
| where/who builds the Borresen / Aviik Denmark gear? You're welcome OP. Audio Group Denmark make excellent products with a lot of genuine technical innovation. | |
| Would I benefit with Roon? One advantage of Roon is that it is hardware independent in the sense that it eliminates the use of proprietary apps for accessing content so a hardware change doesn't require having to use a different manufacturers app. That and the fact that Roo... | |
| What's the value in lots of capacitors inside a line stage preamp? conrad-johnson (no caps on the names) have always used very simple circuits and very highly specified parts. Their reliance on film caps, including large value ones is contributes significantly to their product's cost. | |
| where/who builds the Borresen / Aviik Denmark gear? @OP, there are two factory tour articles on Hifiknights.com Borresen and Aavik/Ansuz do a lot of their "manufacturing" operations in house. I put manufacturing in quotes because there are very few entirely vertically integrated companies in the ... | |
| Reel to Reel I always come back to opportunity cost for expensive formats like R2R. There's zero point of getting into it unless you get a quality machine which is fully serviced and aligned. Then there is the cost of the software. Even a small collection of t... | |
| When Was The Audio Golden Age? "And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come" - Buzzcocks 1978 | |
| D’Agostino Integrateds @OP. The D'Agostino amplifiers have very clean bass - but it is not lean. But it is very far away from the way a lot of tube gear sounds in the bass. The MxV amplifiers are more refined than the Progressions - that's more noticeable from the midra... |
