| Warmer class D amps for magnepan? https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/all-products/products/benchmark-ahb2-power-amplifier Love mine! | |
| Can moving wire location at circuit breaker reduce hum? I would start by getting a big heavy extension cord. Use the cord to try different outlets. Before you set about to fix the problem be sure you are fixing the right problem. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I am a fairly hard core audio guy. MacIntosh has place in our world. I remember as a teen in the early 1970's I would DROOL at the C28 pre-amp. Father of a friend of mine knew I was an audio nut. He asked me to help him pick out a really nice ... | |
| dumb down an LP-12 @mijostyn I bought an AR turntable around 1972, was $56.00 back then! In 1974 I got a job working for AR. For the money it was an amazing turntable. As far as LP-12 - I was a Linn dealer for a few years. The setup is not at all difficult afte... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? Benchmark AHB-2 - Get 2. Amazing amps! | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL I am sure that is not true. Who is nuts enough to pay that much for a Mofi junker? They are full of bull at Mofi. Took them 3 years to repair my QUAD ESL2912's - worst experience in 40 years of hifi! | |
| Vintage vs New I love vintage speakers. Problem is there are many things that can age in a speaker. I worked for AR (Acoustic Research) in the mid 1970's. I bought some 10pi speakers in 1980. I pulled them out a few years back and brought them back to near n... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? A little story of my progress through Hi-Fi land...When I was a kid in the early 1960’s my family had a mono Columbia "HiFi Console." It had a 12 inch woofer, midrange and electrostatic tweeter! A 10 watt mono amp and a record changer. It was very... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? It is a function of length and current. So it should be great to run a tweeter two feet away.Seriously, How far away do you want to put the amp from the speakers? How big is your power amp in watts? What speakers?A simple answer is a smaller g... | |
| Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned? B&W DM-12 for $99.00 on eBay.It really is amazing what a great system you can put together buying older stuff on eBay. | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. Basically they will be "near field" monitors around my work desk. I have a couple of powered KEF woofers too. I think the LS50 are so massive compared to the driver there will be no issues. Plus I cross them over at 100hz. | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. "Check Newton's Third Law"Newton had Maganapans. | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. I would say given the choice I would put a superior cartridge on an inferior turntable. | |
| Electrostatic Speakers HiI have a small business selling HiFi out of my house. Here in Maine there are very few options for stuff like Quads. So I asked for and got the local dealership. Opening order was for a pre-amp, power amp, and speakers.We set it all up - the ... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? My Linn LP12 is for sale on eBay if you are looking for a nice belt drive unit. I have a really good system; Quad ESL 2912s, mono-block amps, a couple of fancy pre-amps etc. With the exception of a few very special records (direct to disk etc) ... |
