| RIP Peter Tork bummer. I did get to see Peter, Mickey, and Davey at a ’60s & ’70s show with the Grass rootds, herman Hermnits, and some other groups. not many if at all had ALL of the orig members. the back stories on the monkeys is rife with troubles. p... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers remember, 80% of the sound is made in the first 20wpc. if you are not yet a brand snob, the BC Crimson stereo amp is a real over achiever and will supply enough power I suspect for your transducers. I have no dog in this hunt what so ever but ha... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? what class of amp is the High Definition kind? short answer? The High Dollar kind. almost invariably greater fidelity goes hand in hand with more investment. despite ‘class’. A, A/b, D, Hybrid, Tube amps which have an enormity of classes based ... | |
| Merrill Audio Element 116 Review I’ll second that note about posting what you notice during break in, and its overall length. BTW, ever consider just having your 15A IEC PCs reterminated t 20s? as long as the conductors are# 10 AWG stranded or greater, you’re legal. with #12 yo... | |

| Classic Audio T1 and T3 field coil loudspeakers just refreshing this thread with more recent anecdotal and subjective feedback, as it is well deserved simply hearing the Classic T series loudspeakers, as said, is worth the trip. Muhammad could not go to the mountain, so the mountain was broug... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more I agree with the poster who wrote SQ is not going to be too good if all the items on your list are included at the price point you are shooting for.BTW, Why the HDMI interface? I2s? DSD?that bit alone I think is the main obstacle all else being c... | |
| Cable Company Contracts I'm guessing you are talking about some Cable TV company, and NOT 'The Cable Company', correct?IMO I'm wondering why you allowd the billing issue to occur twice.ssadif the deal is $$ and it then changes to $$$$ upon arrival of the installer, I'm ... | |
| Merrill Audio Element 116 Review THXinteresting to hear about the issue with the DAWs. Peter Mc made a point of showing that particular diff during his demo.Sasha's are well above my pay grade presently and maybe Wilson's in general. dunno. it was a dynamic presentation though ev... | |
| Storing Unused Audio Equipment I would suggest getting some 'Damp Rid' or similar product. sealing the units in containers, or bags and then in containers.its absolutely astonishing how dust and critters will get into 'left alone' stuff in perennially dark seldom entered into p... | |
| Need Advice & Need It Fast Hi!congrats on making a choice on the replacement power.I will suggest, so there is no 'withdrawal' in your future a secondary yet different style amp should be a serious consideration now. well, not right now, but later this year sometime perhaps... | |
