| ATC ACTIVE VS PASSIVE PMC is comparable to ATC. | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? I sold my opera collection, about 800 near mint records, for $75. The alternative was to donate them to the local opera.In other words, ime, opera records have almost no value. | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? the price for collections is heavily discounted, compared to pricing records individually. People willing to pay high prices are looking to fill in gaps in their own collections. It's a lot of trouble to sell individual records! Anyone willing ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I had to spend quite a bit (vinyl rig is about $10K) before my vinyl rig beat digital, and I have not spent a comparable on digital. I can't say I've ever heard a topline mbl or dcs system. It isn't likely that I will ever spend $10k + on a dac,... | |
| Price increase it's not clear to me how many listings are really "New Today". Lots of repeats from yesterday or earlier. Many, if not most of those, seem to be dealers. If we could filter out the Ayon and Adona listings, the number of "new" listings might be q... | |
| Question on hearing and you were hearing great new music. Not such a thrill to hear Stairway to Heaven or whatever for the ten thousandth time. The present hardly compares to rock in the 60's to early 70's. I doubt that age related hearing loss is much of a factor. | |
| Resale value "investing" in a child's future is not meant literally, It has some of the characteristics of investing, but not all. It's an analogy. The parent doesn't expect to profit from it, it's a gift. I'm looking at funding an Ivy League education rig... | |
| Resale value I consider resale. But I try to take the long view, so I also want to be reasonably assured of future support, which requires somewhat more than a small shop.I sometimes keep things so long the value becomes negligible. E.g., a $5000 amp I got i... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? PMC's, which have a transmission line enclosure, can produce more bass for their size than other designs. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! +1 Viridian. The nominations above covered most of the bases, but Yoko is in a class by herself. You really couldn't call it music, and she rendered some of Lennon's work unlistenable with her screeching. | |
| Tinnitus remedy? lol, melbguy1, thanks! | |
| Now it's subs If adding a sub to a 2-ch audiophile system - i.e., not a home theater receiver withy built-in gizmos - don't you need an external crossover, to prevent your main speakers from getting the bass signal? | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 Cant's tubes short, and even explode? Is it wise to leave them on if you are not around to leap up and turn the system off? | |
| Opinions on PMC DB1i & DB1 GOLD The Gold is rated at 87 db 1w 1 m. Not very efficient. I would want considerably more than 15 w, and you might too. | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? I often turn on the (tube) equipment to warm it up, then don't get around to listening. Have to be in the mood. |
