| Tube preamp topologies and music @tubes4good -- Thank you very much. Kind of you. | |
| Tube preamp topologies and music @immatthewj -- Thanks for the info. I was able to wade through the posts and glean some insight. @dogearedaudio -- I plan on doing that, but I'm recovering from a Bone Fusion surgery on my left foot and surgery to remove plates and screws fro... | |
| Tube preamp topologies and music @jasonbourne71 -- You have provided some very good information. I would like to pick your brain a bit. A couple of years ago, I acquired a beautiful Dennis Had Inspire 45 amp and a Dennis Had LP 3.1 preamp. The seller included a set of brand ne... | |
| YouTube star Jay loves McIntosh MC 901 amplifier @ditusa -- No, I disagree. Used Car Salesmen at least have some ethics. I hope I live long enough to see YouTube "Stars" and "Influencers" (which in my humble opinion is the most worthless, brain-dead, narcissistic non-job title ever created ... | |
| Speaker Slip Covers I would like to thank each and every one of you who have responded -- you have given me some GREAT ideas and companies to look at. @wharfy -- Yes, Dobby and Kossa have given my wife and I MANY hours of entertainment since we found them abandon... | |
| A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed Unfortunately, there is a ‘snag’ -- the seller insists on receiving the money before I get to see the item. To me, that is a "RUN, DON'T WALK, AWAY" red flag if I ever saw one. | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? @macg19 -- I'm glad I wasn't the only reader confused by that statement. The OP said he was getting the Denon soon, and the wording leads you to believe he already had the Polk 8-T's hooked up using 12 gauge wire...but says nothing about his curr... | |
| 12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable? I can't tell if the original post is a well played and thought out trolling adventure...or if @ristrettox6 actually spent $700 on speaker cables for gear that can be found for less than $250. If a sly rib-tickler about the hilarious prices peo... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. The year was 1977, and my buddy and I were in his 1968 VW Microbus nicknamed "Old Blue" driving down Black Mountain in Kentucky, after leaving a gig in Cumberland. He was the drummer in our pretty successful regional rock band, and "Old Blue" was... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. David Gilmour’s debut solo album from 1978. Incredible album. A "gilmourish nerd tidbit" -- a song that he wrote too late to be mixed for his debut album was included on "The Wall"...just a little tune called "Comfortably Numb". Had that song also... | |
| Record Store Day 2024? I know a couple of the founders of Record Store Day, and a current Project Manager. To me, RSD has lost its focus. What started as an event to save Independent "Mom and Pop" new and used vinyl shops, similar to "Black Friday" for major retailers, ... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Be careful @erik_squires. Another Eric may sue you for posting about measurements. Oh, wait, wrong choice of words. He may "litigate"... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama @tomic601 -- Amen! I'd LOVE to see that business destroyer Eric actually attempt to sue Amir or Erin over this laughable debacle. I would contribute to their defense fund in a heartbeat. Eric seems to forget that people took screenshots of the... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits @bigtwin -- Dang! Who blew it for the rest of us! I was rooting for that thread to make it to TWENTY PAGES...came up a few posts short. Rats. But for 2 years and 3 months it was glorious. | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp @kingbr -- I hope you find out the issue, but if I were in your shoes, I would NOT continue to risk my SF Sonetto's. For goodness sakes, disconnect those speakers ASAP. If you want to continue to experiment with possible issues, connect the chea... |
