| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Want to discover the latest ultimate TWEAK...well then, read on to the bottom! But first....1. Your average thief is probably not going to give the time of day to some high-end stereo gear since they are looking for things they can easily carry, a... | |
| Speakers Tok2000 has some excellent insights! I'd pay attention to his advice. Synergy is not necessarily going to be proportional to the $ you spend, but rather how carefully you research and audtition the components you spend them on. In addition to what... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. I own a pair of La Scala's and two pairs of Forte II's. I love both designs. IMHO the newer Klipsch products do not approach the Heritage line of products of which Paul W. Klipsch was the primary designer. I think that their speaker designs starte... | |
| could someone recommend some good acoustic music Which Klipsch are you testing? I've got La Scalas and Forte II's and love both. The La Scala's certainly have the edge with a more natural, full and rounded bass. The bigger horns also do nicely at balancing out vocals and acoustics, whereas my Fo... | |
| Three days until Christmas Happy holidays everyone! All the best for the New Year, and beyond!As to Gunbei's question, I like my system as it is, but perhaps Santa might convince my wife to let me leave my Klipsch LaScala's at home (she thinks they're too big)! I do have a ... | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? If it's got more than two wheels, why bother!? I ride a BMW R1150GS (motorcycle) year-round. Unfortunately I also need to own a vehicle for occasionaly hauling a bunch of photo gear around (my occupation), and to take my two (large) dogs anywhere ... | |

| How Often Do You Listen To Live Music?? We've been going about once a month this year. As I get older (in my 40's now), I have less and less tolerance for poorly amplified/mixed/produced performances. I'd simply rather stay home and listen on my system! It sounds a whole lot better most... | |
| jennifer warnes, discs other than The Well She does a gorgeous, very simple ballad with bass player Rob Wasserman, on his wonderful colaboration album called "Duets". It wasn't listed on Amazon, so it may be out of print. Get a copy if you can find one. It's a great album, and her song on ... | |
| Best bargain ARC tube pre amp around a grand I've paired my ARC LS-2B with my Quicksilver EL-34 Triode push/pulls, my Quicksilver 300B SET's and my old Quicksilver Silver 90's (like your 60's, that is another KT-88 pentode design by Mike Sanders). I love it in combination with the EL-34 and ... | |
| Anyone ever have claims for damage with UPS? Buckingham is right about the 4 foot drop. Have you ever seen the 'assembly lines' our packages go through to get sorted and out to the planes? It would just make you wince! I've become a big believer in overpacking and double-boxing. Much worse t... | |

| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Yes, I think Steve (Huntley) is pretty swamped over there at times, and neglects follow-ups (or just doesn't have the time). I had a similar experience trying to ask a few questions and really had to keep trying. All I can say is that the mod was ... | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... Sorry Viggen, I too somehow got the idea your CA50 was a power-amp and not integrated. My bad. This has become a pretty lengthy thread so I guess I missed that detail. I still stand by everything else I've offered thus far, especially the idea tha... |
