| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? What would be so sad about a world without vinyl? Technically and sonically it doesn't hold a candle to digital lossless or 7.5ips tape. I've never understood the fascination so many have with audio technologies that predate the invention of the t... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? @viridian I'm pretty sure if CD came before vinyl nobody would ever take vinyl seriously. | |
| Vintage receivers??? The biggest problems with old Marantz receivers isn't the sound quality. It's the idiotic prices for the units and the time it takes to get work done on them. All that said, I discourage some models such as the 2270. That's a complicated receiver ... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Eh... people drive and use old stuff for sentimental reasons, not because they have any superiority. If the transistor had been invented first, I doubt tubes would have ever existed. They have low gain, lots of noise, and consume tons of power. Th... | |
| Replacing fuse Sorry man. The word "fuse" is a magnet for snake oilers. | |
| I Need an XLR Digital Cable. Digital XLR cables are completely different than analog signal cables and shouldn't be confused. If you're transporting digital data you want DMX XLR cables. | |
| Kanta line Overture Audio isn't even listing the Electra anymore. It looks like those are close out prices. | |
| Kanta line I've been seeing 1028's going for 948 prices. I wouldn't dismiss the No.2 just based on the woofer size. The 8" woofers are only getting you 2Hz more bass extension. Is that even noticable? Like the 936 and 948, they're just different speakers mad... | |
| Kanta line I couldn't find pricing on them. It looks like Electra prices are dropping though. | |
| Audio tube testing There used to be a guy in Waterville, Ohio that serviced and restored old gear. He had a storefront a year or two ago, but that disappeared. I want to say it was called Black Swamp Audio, but I'm not sure. | |
| Replacing fuse Ha! My posts don’t hold a candle to the snake oilers like Geoff and Michael. Or you for that matter. | |
| Talk but not walk? Casting is a wonderful way to get a completely chaotic mass of crystal structures. Working metal is generally the best way to get the most uniform crystalline structure in metal. That's why people go to the expense to forge, extrude, and draw meta... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? @gawdbless I'm very open to hearing whatever I can. I think I extended the offer to go listen to anybody's system within a few hours of me. So far no PM's to that effect. I'm in Toledo and I drive to northern Michigan a couple times a month. | |
| Focal Electra BE series @mofojo Quite right on the Kanta front. I haven't heard them. But having listened to F cones and W cones in the same room I can understand how the Kanta would be better. So far as I can tell the 1000 series bests the 900 series primarily because t... | |
| Talk but not walk? Mike, I've Googled you several times. If you're in Stereophile reviews, they're keeping it a secret because you can usually Google "Stereophile (insert term)" and get the results. They aren't there. There's nothing out there you haven't created. N... |
