| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? walter, yes, be very careful what you touch inside the amp. Remove all the tubes before turning it over and removing the bottom cover. Don't want any accident with those. Take whatever photos as necessary of original wiring to be certain all co... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? Walter/Chris, and others, re: biasing problem. Years ago I got a pair of Cary 100w mono amps. I enjoyed the sonic match with my speakers at that time but was frustrated that the bias pots were installed inside the amp chassis. Needless to say a... | |
| Technic’s Malaysian turntables …QC experience/ feedback from actual users/owners? I bought a new 1200G from Galen Carol a few months ago. No quality problems at all. A beautiful sounding table and arm, very musically satisfying. | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @mirolab, that single file seating sounds like the Sanders electrostatic speaker set up. I've seen it at multiple audio shows. It doesn't appeal to me either. Now I don't remember ever seeing ET speakers at an audio show. But all the photos or... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @pindac, by Cabinet Type I assume you mean any traditional box speaker, not a panel speaker. That is not a term I usually see. I've read other positive comments on the AT 616 footers over the years but they are difficult to find I think. Not su... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling, yes Target make wall mounts but mine is a 5-shelf floor model. The unit itself is steel I believe and quite heavy, so with added components (the Technics is surprisingly heavy) the total mass is substantial. Then beyond the turntable... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey mulveling, I'm late to the party but want to add my thanks for your information and starting this helpful discussion. Somewhere I read a recommendation for this product. I've not tried it but it seems to be a very inexpensive device to try. It ... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I haven't seen a copy of the Blue Book for years. When I did it was my impression that wholesale (buyer) prices were low-ball to assist dealers in determining trade-ins. In my experience at the time average selling prices on the major classified... | |
| Dynaco A25 -Hard to Believe Nice to see this as I have a history with A-25s. I didn't own them during the '70s when they sold in large numbers, but a local record store had two pair mounted at angles where the walls met the ceiling at either end of the room. I was always f... | |
| Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1 mike, I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years. Over that time I tried several amps, tube and SS. The best match which I ended up with was a pair of JC-1s. Duntechs have not been imported to the US for many years but the hint from those w... | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. @bdp24, seems like we share a few perceptions. For years I've set a goal for 40 Hz bass in speakers I've owned. Not necessarily flat down to that frequency, but at least reasonable output. I'm a big jazz fan and the 42 Hz (as I've typically rea... | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. bdp, I tend to agree, even though I've never owned ET speakers. I have owned a few pairs of Maggies and I agree the ET design makes more sense to me. Better design to avoid a crossover through so much of the range and also more durable. Regard... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV vs Duntech Princess Not surprising that John would say his current modes were the best. ;^) I owned a pair of Duntech Princess for 19 years, by far the longest for any speakers I've owned. In addition I had three good friends who owned the same model but each of u... | |
| Dunlavy resurrection? m-db, I don't know specific years but this is the historical overview as I know it. John Dunlavy started Duntech Audio in the 1970 in Texas. His top model was tested by Bert White for Audio magazine and after a glowing review White chose them as... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023) 2psyop, I can't say that "Richard never intended this model to compete with other well established and more expensive brands". But some of his successful dealers did. Back in the 1980s both Optimal Enchantment in LA and Havens and Hardesty in Or... |
