| The Future of HiFI? My mother's boyfriend somewhere around 1967 would literally lie down on the floor of the living room with his head midway between the speakers of the Magnavox console. He obviously wanted to get the full stereo effect of such a fine unit. Now th... | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? I agree with everything dill said. I have had three transactions on this site where I was the buyer. I bought a used McIntosh tuner from a seller who lives here in southern California. I was able to see and hear it before purchase. It was exactly ... | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... I had a burglary in 1987. The burglars must have been in a hurry and didn't bother to take the time to take apart an entire rack of McIntosh separate components. They did steal the remote control for my McIntosh MCD 7000 compact disk player. I b... | |
| The Future of HiFI? Ah, let's return to the days of the "Magnificent Magnavox" console stereos. I grew up in the 50's and 60's listening to Magnavoxes (or is it Magnavoxi?). Anyway, nice looking cabinets that my mother adored. Crummy sound but it was better than no... | |
| speaker distortion I owned a pair of McIntosh XR-16 speaker back in the 80's. But without a model number and I think a description of what "distortion" is being heard, it is not possible to even speculate what's wrong, speakers or electronics. | |
| speaker distortion What is the model number of the speakers? Just look on the back of the speakers and you'll find it. | |
| Is Velodyne gone? Thanks, Kestner, and crazyeddy | |
| Is Velodyne gone? I bought it new from an authorized dealer in 2006. The amp failed in 2010. I bought a new amp direct from Velodyne and installed it myself. By 2010, the original amp was out of warranty. The 2010 amp failed in 2016. At that time, Velodyne announc... | |
| Is Velodyne gone? macnut5, thanks for the link to Velodyne. It seems that they are still selling subwoofers. Now, to go to their fine print: they offer just a two year warranty on their subs. Two years, and that is all. Contrast that with SVS and Axion, who both of... | |
| Is Velodyne gone? I am currently shopping for a new subwoofer for home theater. I've looked at subs with longer warranties, 5 years on all parts, including the amplifiers. So far, I've looked online at subs built by Axiom and SVS. Any opinions about these companies? | |
| Is Velodyne gone? Velodyne might as well be gone. I'm stuck with one of their DD-12 subs from 2006. I replaced the amplifier in 2010 and now the amp is out again. No customer support from Velodyne. This is still another case of a high end company bailing, leaving... | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... I have had people see my Apogee Duetta II speakers for the first time, marvel at their design and how "thin" they are and then ask me to play them so they can hear "how loud they will play." I politely decline, and change the subject. I have ha... | |
| Current, Amperage Elevick is right. g_nakamoto, if Julian Hirsh said that when you triple your power, you gain 3db in volume, then he is wrong. Julian Hirsh also said that all well designed amplifiers sound the same. | |
| McIntosh Preamp I've done business with Audio Classics and have always been happy. And yes, a C-31 would be a good choice. I am still using a c-32 that I bought new in 1981. One service problem in 37 years with it. | |
