| Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade) Just got my Quatros. I've been dreaming about these for a while. Holy Cow they are great. I have been an audiophile for about 20 years and also used to do pro audio. I have heard some very resolving systems. I am super pleased with how these sound... | |
| Tannoy PBM 6.5 Monitors anyone? I just refurbished a pair. When i bought them they sounded unlike I remembered them. Highs were harsh, overall sound kind of pale. There is one electrolytic capacitor in the crossover I figured that I would change the ferrofluid in the tweeter and... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? That is one of the best receivers of that era. It should sound full, fast and sweet. Not bright. What speakers? Oh, and you did not make a mistake. Pioneer 50 series have given a lot of great trouble free service to many a happy music lover for ov... | |
| Dahlquist DQ10: best reasonably priced power B&K made some nice amps in the 200w per channel range that pair very nicely with the DQ-10s. I am currently using and Odyssey amp at 150w a side and it works well. Adcom 555 or a Yamaha C-85 are well regarded and should work very nicely. | |
| Audio Kharma website I have learned a lot at AK. There is much more to it than the Bacon thread. There are a lot of talented techs both professional and serious hobbyists that contribute. Another thing I like about AK is their appreciation of quality vintage audio. Ye... | |
| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? The Pioneer SX-1050 is an outstanding receiver that will outperform any new unit under 2K. It is well worth a full restoration. They are not that complicated and any competent tech should be able to do the job. Audio Karma is an excellent resource... | |
| YAQIN experience, anyone? I just ordered a MC100 after hearing one this weekend. I was not in the market for a new amp. I was stunned at the performance and I liked it as much as any amp I have heard, better than most. The build quality is excellent, and it is a very hands... | |
| any hear dared or ming da amps? I have been passionately into audio, pro and otherwise for the last 20 years. I meet with a group of audio nuts every week and have the opportunity to listen to a wide range of gear. Last Saturday someone brought in the Yaqin mc100 (with upgraded ... | |
| No bass in the Proac Response 3 Could you have reconnected the drivers out of phase? Try switching the polarity on one of the drivers. | |
| Tube smell? Could it be a bad tube and a resistor burning? Happened to me. | |
| Which Mundorf for my tubes? V-cap doesn't use dealers. | |
| Cheap DIY FM Antenna Go to a TV store and buy the cheapest set of rabbit ears you can find. Most of mine were bought for under $10 at Fry's electronics in Austin TX. My rabbit ears have outperformed any powered antenna I have used before. Powered antennas tend to ampl... | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Just got a .50 copy of Seals and Crofts Summer Breeze. I've heard most of the tunes on the radio and CD over the years and never realized what a beautiful and intricate recording it was till now. I don't know what pressing it was. | |
| What can I expect from Klipsch RF-7 w/small tube? Spikes can make a big difference, especially on the shape of your bass notes. Really clears them up. | |
| Arcam AVR300 Video Problem Very hard to help in this format. I have an AVR300, and I have been very pleased with it, going on my second year now. Make sure you are assigning the inputs correctly. Grab a beer, sit back and read the owners manual very carefully. It can be a l... |
