| Audioengine Speakers Screaming At Me Hmm ... I use the +A2's for my bedroom computer system. They have worked fine for almost two years. I leave them powered on all the time too. I think I'll start turning them off after use. I don't like the overheating problem you alluded to, that... | |
| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! davyonthecoast ...Has anything been done from the standpoint of room treatment? If so, what? If you've done nothing, then some of the "brightness" at loud volumes could be certain frequencies exciting (causing resonances) in various areas of your... | |

| Audio Research PH5 Phono Preamplifier Input Clipping Problem rauliruegas ...With all due respect, I think we may have a language problem here. I wasn't commenting on whether the A90 is a better cartridge than the ART-9. My comments were directed at which cartridge is a better match for the ARC PH-5. True th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Sorry to disappoint, mapman ... but I was laughing at (and enjoying) geofkait's comment. I didn't see joecasey's post. Haven't a clue who he is. OP | |
| Anyone into cassettes? ^^^ normansizemore ...Again, premium Maxell and TDK tapes are available used from thrift stores. They run about .50 cents each. I have a large stock acquired over a period of several years. Once they are erased, they record just fine.OP | |

| Audio Research PH5 Phono Preamplifier Input Clipping Problem Scott ..." So a PH-5 and REF 3 are really only good for LOMC? Yipes."I've owned the ARC phono stages from the PH-5, PH-7, PH-7se and now the PH-8. I use a REF-3 preamp also. According to the techs at ARC, their phono stages, including your PH-5... | |
