| Better Records vs MoFi Don't often post on here but interesting thread about BR. I don't think I'd ever pay more than $100 for a record, even if I could afford it. But I learned that my first pressing of Aja may be worth $500? Crazy..... It's the AB 1006 issue that... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @hilde45 Great points! I appreciate that. Had not thought about that side of the topic.I'm pretty much a 'noob' with regards to the technical side of this. Have learned a lot from this forum though over the last couple years. I read a lot but ... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @hilde45 I agree. I've had a couple folks tell me in the 10's Dahlquist group TELL me I need 200 wpc and my amp will never drive them to their capability. MY ears know what I'm hearing. How would they know? LoL And being musicians ears that ha... | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? It's the old DQ 10's analogy I hear in the DQ 10 group I read info in. "You need a minimum of 200wpc 'to make them sing' " Garbage..... Mine sound fabulous with a 40 wpc Proton D540. Sister company to the early NAD company. But it's capable of 1... | |
| Give 'Ambrosia' another listen I swear I saw their first one at the Goodwill here in Portland just last week. Shoulda snagged it for $3. Thanks for the heads up.....had no idea. | |
| Girl from Ipanima passed away The Getz/Gilberto record on Verve is one of the best sounding Jazz albums I own. So warm and rich sounding. She sang on two tracks. | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Here’s a system I own and it sounds stellar. Being a musician, I know what music should sound like. Orbit w/Grado Black-$450. Proton D540 integrated amp (high current. 6db of headroom. Sister company to NAD back in the mid ’80’s) $159. Dahlquist D... | |
| Digital Dilemma I believe the 7030 uses a Wolfson DAC....considered one of the best bang for the buck DACs out there. Been thinking about getting the 7030 to replace the dated JVC I've had for years. I think you sold me OP! Last time I looked it was $299 at Cr... | |
| FYI: Let visitors use your Wi-Fi for additional security Belkin has had a guest mode for years on my home router. I never use a public network anymore after sitting at the Pensacola airport one morning and someone hacked into my Facebook Messenger while I was on it. Just glad I wasn't on my banking si... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Monster Cable I bought new in '86 for $30. Still using them with my Dahlquists.... I think they are sufficiently 'burned in' 😉 | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? @ml8764ag Myself as well. Don't even need the Groovemaster as the label is never wet long enough to cause it to lift. I can look at the record in the sunlight and see how much dirt is removed. Cost me next to nothing. The Dawn is a great gunk... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... I once had front row center seats to a Peter Tosh concert. Not only could I feel the intensity of the show, I could smell it too! 😎 There is something to be said about sitting so close.....you really feel as one with the performers. I can only ... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Used LP's at the Goodwill for $3.....many of them almost mint. And a set of mint, original, clean and working perfectly Dahlquist DQ 10 for $375. | |
| What is your experience with amp power? I own a set of DQ10’s. Notorious power hogs according to everything I read. "You need at least 200wpc 'to make them sing'" is the famous opinion. Horse dung! I run them with this little gem. A Proton D540. 40 wpc but with 6db of headroom. No ne... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus @larsman I was good friends with the WEA rep for Portland. So 1980 when 'Boy' was released on Island. Great show and got to meet and have a few beers with them. Not near as loud as Rory though! |
