| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! You have to admit, what WC has started is some very good and much needed conversations/discussions about equipment, rooms, perception, etc. I am actually enjoying this and really admire WC (and his wife for allowing him to do this). The ultimate ... | |
| Vintage receivers??? I have vintage Sansui QRX-5500 and Marantz 2252B that I went through, cleaned all the switches, pots, etc. and restored slightly. They both work and sound great, but I can tell you that the Sausui actually sounds slightly better than the Marantz.... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, what do you mean dealers are afraid to sell items to you? how would they even know who you are? Walk in, talk, negotiated a good price, arrange delivery and evaluate. Maybe it's time for some "get smart" disguises.I read earlier dracule 1 d... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Yes, well, I worked in Aerospace for some time as an Engineer, and I can tell you that Aerospace, is probably one of the most overpriced , exaggerated costs fields (with regards to their final products) out there. There is so much fat attached to... | |
| Is there actually a difference? "sounds better" is very subjective. Totally depends on what one is listening for. If one doesn't really know what real symbols sound like (vs electronic generated), violins, pianos, vs electronic, then how would they know it is accurate?And just... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! First an Audio Engineer is an Electrical/Electronics Engineer. Specializing in particular fields such as Amplifier Design/Filter design, acoustic environmental design, etc. I strongly disagree with the statement made previously disparaging such... | |
| SME V tone arm advice Well, you let me know when you are ready to off load that SME V arm.I finally understand why some people have two arms mounted to their turntables. enjoy | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. You have a REF 3 pre-amp and a 110 amp. All from Audio Research. I would investigate a used Ph6, Ph8, REF 2SE or 2 phono stage. They would match very well with your existing gear and sound great. The turntable, arm and cartridge on the other h... | |
| "The End of The Road" Tomic601; it's pretty hard to beat the Vandersteen 7s. Those speakers are pretty special I have to say. I'm trying very hard to never get to the end of the road. I'm pretty happy with my system, but one never knows do one? So, if the opportunit... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Just my opinion here as I've been following this post for quite some time, but, I don't think in this instance that techno_dude was being insulting or a troll. A might insensitive maybe, but not insulting or a troll. He/she (can't tell), offered... | |
| Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time Most newer equipment has slow start circuitry that dramatically reduces the on/off cycling damage possibility for high current amps. So, that really isn't an issue anymore.Other than that, heat is the enemy. Running equipment 24/7 will reduce th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Techno_dude; no disrespect, but I doubt very much that what you claim about Ayre vs Audio Research is true.Anyway, If WC has an Audio Research REF 10 pre-amp, then mating it with the REF 250 SE amps will change some minds.I believe that there will... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I agree. The reproduced music should be an accurate representation of the recorded music. Bass slam or whatever one calls it is fun, but may not be accurate. the real question (to me) should be, does the system reproduce the recorded music accu... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? Hearing ability changes over time and not everyone hears music the same. If you take on of those detailed hearing examinations in an enclosed soundproof room you will see that your hearing has gaps.it is scary. This is a good reason why equalize... | |
| Best sounding transistors This is quite interesting to read. There are modern BJT transistors that fall within the specs of older transistors but are much more linear. MJ21193 and MJ21194 for example. but I agree with the earlier responder. The replacement transistors ... |
