| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! George- Unfortunately, it's possible/probable that some of what you have dealt with is caused by living on the bleeding edge. Sometimes, extracting that last bit of performance comes at the expense of some reliability. One of my engineering coll... | |
| Acoustical music Pretty much everything in my collection...if you are in the northeast, PM me and you can come over. Hundreds of good examples...I focus on the music first vs the recordings, but look at these artists:Lyle LovettEddie from OhioEva CassidyEmmy-Lou ... | |
| Anyone have Bookshelf speakers mounted over top of their subs?? In terms of eliminating room effects, theory would say that asymmetric placement of two (or more) subs would have a better chance of being successful. In practice, your patience, set-up skills, and EQ-ability would also be very important. | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification david_ten-Despite all the buzz, I have not heard the Tektons, so no idea how these amps might interact w your speakers, but I cannot say enough about the Atma and VAC Ren amps. IME, 300b SET amps could not drive 94-95 dB speakers in my moderate s... | |
| Shipping large speakers My understanding is that FedEx "insurance" is only insurance that they won't lose the package. And that they only way for them to "insure" the contents is for them to actually pack it. I could be wrong...there's always a first time ;-) | |
| $100,000 line stage The transformers they use were buried underneath the base of Mount Fuji for 10 years prior to being installed, allowing them to project that very organic sound. As a soil scientist, I can advise them of the best place for an even more organic ... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? bdp- since we are brothers in hair as well as musical tastes, I guess I should point out that I'm SwampwaLKer, not SwampwaTer. I'm a wetland scientist, I walk around in swamps. Just sayin'... | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Au contraire, bdp24. Some of us just cut our hair shorter to deal with hot, humid summers ;-) | |
| Have you ever met another audiogon member in person? Actually, wolfie is not ALLOWED out w/o a "chaperone" AND a GPS bracelet! I’ve met a few members...Trelja, had a few listening sessions w dougdeacon and others, met Atmasphere and Albertporter at shows, a few others briefly buying and selling gear... | |
| Feastrex Field Coil speaker repair @johnk Thank you. I had not thought of that but it makes perfect sense. I guess I contributed to that by leaving them powered up rather than wait for them to warm up. I won't be doing that anymore when/if they get fixed. | |
| best way to go from balanced XLR - RCA (unbalanced) - anyone...? +1 stringreen | |
| Feastrex Field Coil speaker repair Thanks, DeKay. I appreciate it. I do have some concern about the amp (one of the output tubes on that channel might be bad), so I'll probably have it looked at. Luckily, I have a replacement amp and speakers, so I can take a careful look at all... | |
| Feastrex Field Coil speaker repair Thx, jond. I'll get in touch w them on Tuesday. | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? Mateus Rosè, anyone? Wow, that brought me back to the 60s...the decade, not my age ;-)And made me think of my friend, Ron Matous, who I have not thought of in years. None of that (or it's slightly more economical sibling, Almaden), for me, tho. ... | |
