| Prefered Freight Company Regardless of which service you use, I would suggest using a device that indicates damage and/or shock. Google freight damage & shock indicators to see what's available.Using Greyhound bus like Dill suggested is a good choice but if you have t... | |
| long term components Rack-early 80's, although highly modified.I also have a pair of AQ IC's from the same time but put Cardas ends on them.The longest would've been a Sherwood receiver I bought in 1979 but the cat knocked it off a cabinet, so it lasted 19 yrs. Too ba... | |
| Are you ever satisfied? In short, no. I know I can never be satisfied because the stereo is just, well, a stereo. Sure, it sounds pretty good sometimes & although I haven't had every component known to man, I've had enough in my room & have listened to so many ot... | |
| BAT VK3i vs Classe 47.5 Briefly had & used the Classe 47.5 & it was ok, just not my cup of tea. Might not have been a fair comparison, as I used the BAT w/a BAT amp. I also had the CP50 but only kept it a few weeks-just long enough to know I really didn't like it... | |
| Were My Speakers Damaged ? This is interesting because of a few things. A 20dB difference may not be that much if it was say in the range of 50>70 or 60>80. A lot depends on the amp, as some may clip much sooner than others, even in the mid to upper 80's which could c... | |
| Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord You asked pretty much the same question a few weeks ago. I would suggest you use the search feature both here & at AA to read about powercords. There are even more sites to chose from but these 2 should keep you busy for awhile. | |

| Powerful and strong ss amp at low cost. One of the best low cost SS amps I've had in my system is a B&K. Don't let the low price fool you. These are very good pieces and on the used market are a great bargain.The added bonus is that they really sound pretty good, so don't let price ... | |
| Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool? Your amp needs some air flow & I'm guessing from your description that the back of the shelf is up against a wall? If not, I would remove the back of whatever you're using to get some flow thru. I would think the easiest thing to do would be m... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp with Solid State Amp? It depends on how you define hassle. If you want to just turn the system on & listen w/o warm up, then tubes can be a hassle. There are some SS pieces that need warming up too, so warm up isn't a blanket statement that only applies to tubes. T... | |

| Problem w/ Rotel RCD-865 & Musical Fidelity x-dac Although not the same model, I have the 855 & the digital out never worked correctly. I finally removed it & used the hole to install some nice RCA's.Tried several DAC's and they all worked fine w/other units. | |
| The Cyclicality of Black Vs Silver I have to jump in here, as I only have black pieces in my system and feel silver is a distraction. The rack is between the spkrs, so it's right there in full view.I've tried to compromise by having silver gear w/black knobs & handles (ARC) and... | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? I've been using an earlier but not quite vintage model with my garage system. In the nearfield position, these are absolutely incredible but quickly lose their punch when used from a distance. A little tweak I discovered is to shorten the captive ... | |
