| Manufacturers with great customer service How many manufacturers offer service AFTER they go out of business? Oppo does. | |
| What became of the guy making OB speakers about 2 years ago? Glad it worked out for you and you were refunded. Others claimed they had a much more difficult time. | |
| R&D vs. Marketing: Are we paying for tech or fake online hype? This has gone on for some time now. I recall a "respected" manufacturer years ago that took the innards of an oppo cd player, put it in their fancy case and jacked the price. Yes, take a look inside and see what your money is buying. Sometimes,... | |
| Vintage Technics vs New @jimmyblues1959 We are so on the same page man! I find myself holding on tighter to each day, trying to max them out in a positive way. And so many of those audio memories are so crystal clear. Let’s see. It started with a radio shack crystal... | |
| Vintage Technics vs New Don't forget to lubricate that bearing and enjoy! I once found a Dual TT on top of a garbage dumpster and after refinishing the base, lubricating, replacing a couple of cheap parts eventually found it a good home--at a $500 profit!! | |
| My thoughts on my first Class D amp @hilde45 My Marantz Ruby, which uses Hypex outputs, does not sound the least bit thin or lacking "meat on the bones". For me it has never been class as much as implementation of a given design. | |
| What became of the guy making OB speakers about 2 years ago? Suspect you were thinking of Clayton Shaw as noted above. In the words of our most eloquent President, Mr. Shaw is best described as "a very very bad man." You really do not want to send a penny to this individual. | |
| Dipping my toes into EL84 tubes https://ankaudiokits.com/product/el84-l1-v2-integrated-amplifier/ A bit above budget but if you decide to think longer term, if have always thought AK kits look excellent. I would really enjoy building one. They also have C core options with su... | |
| Dipping my toes into EL84 tubes Wow. When you say decked out to the max you were not kidding. Nice build! | |
| Not a surprise that using the creative side of your brain aids in brain health. @robeffy A major tip of the cap to you my friend. Strokes can be devastating and your determination and commitment to find a way is remarkable!! A great example for all of us as we deal with health problems that become more common than we would... | |
| Dipping my toes into EL84 tubes That looks like a great little amp for the money! I would do the kit--looks like an easy and fun build with the opportunity to upgrade the coupling caps. One question--I don't see toroidal output transformers very often in tubed amps. What are ... | |
| Not a surprise that using the creative side of your brain aids in brain health. @ghdprentice I could not agree more. I have many other hobbies beyond audio and the love of music. After I finish listening to my morning music and coffee, I will head out on a 34 mile bike ride (on a FWD recumbent I built up from a frameset t... | |
| Should AI generated posts be banned or otherwise regulated? Like most things in life.......it depends on context and how it is used. | |
| The Needle Clinic Andy Kim Sounds like you have found a jewel when it is time to replace your jewel. Thanks for the post. | |
| Do you buy used carts/needles? Is it risky? In the end, you will never know how many hours are on that stylus. Pass. |
