Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. There are many excellent power conditioners on the market. Furman is only one of many and Erik_Squires recommends this brand mostly because he owns one and likes what it does. I use Shunyata and many others use other brands. There is an Audioqu... | |
Moon 110LP V2 replacement Power Supply. Did the dealer lose the power supply? Where does the dealer expect you to get the power supply from as it could cost a fortune if you get it from Sim Audio? | |
My end game speaks. Never heard either speaker, sorry. I will say I find the Focals bright but not so with the Magico A5 speakers I heard. | |
SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST 2024 Greg Weaver posted a few pictures. The picture of the marketplace got to me. Very little merchandise in that huge space. Last time I was at RMAF in 2017, the marketplace was huge with tons of merchandise for sale. | |
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @deep_333, I wouldnt buy either but it’s nice to know my GE Triton Reference speakers are less than half the price and have an A+ Stereophile rating. And, they aren’t ugly looking either. | |
Purchased a used Shure V15 Type IV cartridge, looking for stylus My Technics SL 1200G is a direct drive so there will never be a problem of the brush slowing the turntable speed. I have decided that I will listen to the cartridge when I receive it first. It presently has a NOS VN4G stylus which is a cheap alt... | |
Purchased a used Shure V15 Type IV cartridge, looking for stylus @elliottbnewcombjr If I use the brush, what do I set tracking at? If I want to track at 1.5 grams, do I add .5 grams for the brush or just leave it at 1.5G? | |
Company headquarters and warranty repairs I wouldn’t go with Ayre as I heard they are in the middle of restructuring. It may be a long while before the put out a new dac and isn’t their current dac a bit long in the tooth? I could be 100% wrong on this but I remember reading something o... | |
MC2105 v MC402 which would you rather? Not sure about the vintage Mac piece but I bought a MC302 amp in 2019 and absolutely love it. I was using a Conrad-Johnson MF 2550 and the system sounded flat. Once I put the MC302 amp in the system, it was a night and day difference, so much so... | |
Stereo Amp recommendations for Legacy Audio XDs Legacy makes a multichannel amp you can purchase in different configurations. | |
You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? I do not watch You Tube videos of equipment reviews done by an influencer. I don't trust them, and they always have their own agenda. Just who are they influencing and why would anyone listen to these people? They are going for likes & mone... | |
Stuff You Tried To Love @bojack is that your personal opinion or just a word salad? | |
Stuff You Tried To Love I had 2 pairs of speakers I gave up on. Von Schweikert VR33 speakers. Spent 6 months adjusting and breaking in, they still sounded terrible. Sold them and next owner loves them. Tekton Pendragon speakers. Very tall and lightweight speakers, ... | |
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component? I have a lot of transactions here under my belt and only one time did the person as if they could return the product. This was a pair of speakers that the person bought 6 months earlier. He said he just didn’t like them. I tried to be polite a... | |
To loom or not to loom? I had a full loom of Groneberg Quattro Reference cables that Odyssey Audio sells. My Odyssey amp and speakers were already wired with the cable from the factory so I figured why not. I bought both speaker cables and 5 pairs of interconnects. I ... |
