| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated I don't know about that.I have vintage Marantz, Pioneer and Sansui receivers and I can tell you that I have restored them all and the Sansui QRX5500 sounds better than the others. I love the wood grain enclosures. Just like older Pioneer Elite e... | |
| ARC REF 150 Buzzing noise An educated guess but I think you may have damaged the transformer by using KT150 tubes.if this tis the non SE REF 150 then according to Audio Research to upgrade to SE and use KT150’s some major upgrades needed to be done,including replacing the ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Just to be clear, the Neoliths, like many other speakers require a proper amount of time to break in and also required proper set up and placement, as WC has discovered. He has owned many other Martin Logan speakers in the past, and also many oth... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification This type of argument comes up quite often. Class D vs A, AB,or Digital vs analog, or different speakers, amps, etc.people have their opinions and there is nothing wrong with having an educated opinion. having an opinion with know what one is ta... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I know relatively young people getting into vinyl and cassettes. Seriously. they are grabbing up used cassette decks and the tons of used cassettes at thrift stores and loving them. relatively inexpensive turntables and vintage receivers with dec... | |
| 2 different Bedini 150/150 Mk II Amps Well first, since John Bedini erased the transistor designations from the transistors (many others did that as well) to try to protect his design, a good technician can reverse engineer the amp and provide the schematic.When the amp failed and th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I'm interested as well to read WC's views on biwiring. I am an advocate of bi-amping which takes load/strain away from one amp for the lows/highs. However, the benefit of biwring allude me.I am interesting in this.Since the Neoliths have interna... | |
| 2 different Bedini 150/150 Mk II Amps I’m confused. What do you need? The transistors were MJ 15024 NPN transistors on the output. Both rails used NPNs in A unique circuit configuration.you can upgrade them to MJ 21194 NPNs. The have the same specs but the 21194 is much better and ... | |

| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I don’t understand why that reissued album is so expensive. | |
| Is it time to just quit? It's fun with Elizabeth participating.Most of us will never meet, but it is good to know that there are others out there that know and appreciate music and equipment. I don't participate in forums all the time because it isn't necessary and other... | |

| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! people are living vicariously through WC here. This is really interesting and most of us wish we could be in the room with him listening to the multiple pieces. Even bringing over our own to use would be fun.Actually, that would be great.however... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, you have to be very careful about room treatment. Your wife so far is understanding in your hobby. However, some room treatments are seriously butt ugly and she may not go for it. WAF would seriously come into play here. Some that the stuf... | |
| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Two problems that i see with the "I like my system flat" ideal.1. The room itself affects the sound.2. everyone's hearing is different.Take a test cd, (stereophile) play white noise at listening levels, use the audiotools app (free) to look at t... |
