| Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps @wrxified Yes, it certainly looks like they've updated their thinking on the Ref 110. You didn't date your email from Greg, so I'm not clear whether the rethink has been a recent one, or something older. For the sake of clarity, I've added a 2... | |
| Question For Those In The Know About Audio Research Power Amps @wrxified "your post about Audio Research stating the KT150 was safe to run in the REF 110" - I didn’t state that. I asked a question whether or not it was OK to run the KT150. I later posted an update which came from AR directly, stating that ... | |
| Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house? Yes, and I often go out for drinks with my psychiatrist. | |
| Apogee Scintilla’s: Buying advice and are they worth the hassle @takefive_8518 "If I really enjoy the transparency of the scintillas, are there any speaker options that may provide a similar experience which might be more easy to drive and more likely to have support?" Yes, plenty of options to consider. Ma... | |
| Apogee Scintilla’s: Buying advice and are they worth the hassle It seems like you’re hearing the notorious ribbon buzz, in which case you’re in for a fairly extensive and costly repair. Graz would only sell bass panels via certified installers, one of whom passed away a couple years back (RIP Bill Thalmann). ... | |
| Why did high end audio manufacturers take the wrong path in manufacturing gear? I worked in capital equipment manufacturing and R&D was a separate cost center, you didn’t just dump development costs onto the customer. Products were priced on materials, production, and sane margins, not “we spent a lot designing this ... | |
| Are active speakers worth it now? I bought a new pair of closeout Legacy Calibre XD a couple weeks back and I think they’re looking like being good value. They have a biamp toggle, so you can flick a switch and use an external power amp to drive the AMT tweeter, while the internal... | |
| The Music Room is Slipping I've bought from them and most of the prices I see seem fair. But I would never sell to them, and don't fully agree with the whole convenience/risk angle. You still have to pack and ship it, someone still has to buy insurance....sell it direct an... | |
| ModWright Tube Buffer Musical Fidelity made one years back, it was cheap, sounded good, and at the price, made sense. But I don't really think $3K used makes a lot of sense, or maybe I'm missing the application or target end-user? I would sell my SS preamp, add the $3... | |
| Practical tips for setting up your subwoofer(s) I want to do a poll to see how many people who recommend the “sub crawl” method of placement have actually done it themselves. While it sounds nice in theory… | |
| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? I miss my Dunlavy SC-III. I’ll probably keep my Spica TC-50 forever. They share a lot in common with the Dunlavy but are not as physically imposing. | |
| Any ladies in the audience? Sausage fest. | |
| Most Paid for Vinyl LP Got the Wish You Were Here box set for crimbo, but I wouldn’t have paid that much money myself. | |
| who currently makes / sells swarm style subwoofer systems? It would be interesting to hear people’s thoughts on a 6-pack arrangement, as touted by companies like REL, for example. Three subs stacked one atop the other, two stacks of three, each symmetrically placed to the outside of the main speaker. Wh... | |
