| Aged components / service!? I forgot to mention, my Fisher 80Z 30wpc Tube Mono Blocks, made in 1958. Let's see, ... 63 years old, only 10 years younger than me.Checked a few times since I inherited them in 1973. A few resistors, that's it. Surprised me. They sound great. In ... | |
| Aged components / service!? I agree, contact someone who overhauls audio equipment, get advice and a 'guesstimate' for a normal overhaul, factor that into your decision. I love my Vintage tube tuner/preamp from mid 60's, and love it more after having it worked on recently. T... | |
| Rear ported speakers? I am not a fan of ports, even if far enough from walls, and if ports, front facing, not side or rear.There are a lot of speakers out there, I say keep looking.Size limitations? Budget? Are you considering used? | |
| Is it ever enough? I'm DONE!Well, perhaps a better Mono Stylus based on listening to Miles Davis Sketches of Spain the other night. I realized, modern mono lps are worthy of more than elliptical.I'm 75 in 2 years, I'll have to cook up some desire by then, shouldn't ... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I listened to Miles Davis Sketches of Spain, last night. Incredible Gil Evans arrangements, full Jazz Orchestra; Miles's incredibly varied tonality, timing breath/volume control, in front, with and behind the other musicians. Afterword, I read Nat... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Beautiful Speakers, I can see why you want to keep them,IMO, it ain’t the equipment, it’s the speakers. I’m no fan of ports, but you have already stuffed them with insufficient improvement. And you certainly have tried them far enough away from wa... | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? this is what got me excited:" HS-A02 comes carefully packed in a special protective foam-padded box." | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation pedroebpreferenceany content, no matter what volume, has quiet passages.I designed office space for 46 years, and avoided 'white noise' which was a 'so called' solution, rather solved acoustics by design, layout, material's acoustic properties. I'... | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation Can you move the entire cabinet forward a few inches.I built a nearly full size floating back panel for mine. Removable, simply hung on a few blocks I put on the back.1-1/2 inches clear space between the cabinet back and my floating panel. All edg... | |
| Luxman 590axii ventilation NOOOOOO,and, you will dry out the cones of the center speaker (anything) above it. I would never add fan noise in my listening space.Could a pair of smaller mono blocks in 2 locations solve things? | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? I got my 1st MC cartridge not long ago, and after research and advice here, went with this one:https://www.ebay.com/itm/164633673789?hash=item2654ee803d:g:WLUAAOSwcnVf-M6Sthey are getting expensive, and harder to finda. PASS lets you use it for a ... | |
| Best new musical flooring for flooded basement Concrete can take a LONG time to dry, it may be dry on the surface, but wait longer, use fans, ventilate, IOW, don't trap the moisture within.

| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening I suspect, IF you had more power you would listen at higher levels, a little louder, some times, if not frequently. Probably now wanting to push your existing amp to the limit now.I also agree with Eric, at low levels, a bass boost would make a mo... |
