| Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help? Bi-amping (really bi-wiring without an active crossover) will only work with two identical stereo amps (with equal gain). I don't think it will have any significant advantage over, say, using a pair of mono amps. In your case, with two different a... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? If I had to go to live on a desert island and could only take a pair of speakers I could only carry with my two hands: my Rogers LS3/5A's! A TRUE legend! | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? Fidelity Research FR1mk3F. Sold new for $230 in 1980! At that time probably the best sounding mc below the price of the Koetsu ($1K). I had several FR1's! | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? @weebeesdad I have the first production BEL 1001 made! Serial number 0001. How's that for rarity! It is indeed an amp deserving of resurrection! All sound - no bling (unlike present day high end gear!). | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? I never bought one because I consider it Flat Earth science - like most tweaks! | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? They can still be found for sale used! | |
| Discontinued equipment that you wish were still here. What do you miss or think will miss? John Bedini made and sold the CD Demagnitizer. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. There are several Russian sellers on EBay that claim to have military (OTK) grade 12AX7's made circa '80 at Saratov. The prices are astonishingly low! I am tempted to buy a quartet. If I remember right, I might have bought a quartet of 6L6's from ... | |
| Stereophile Magazine question. HiFi News and HiFi World do measuring. But being in the UK their subscription price to the USA is rather high! About $90! I used to buy them regularly when I lived near a Barnes&Noble. Along with HiFi +. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I still prefer US, European or Japanese vintage production over the new stuff! | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I have bought a set of 4 Gold Lion (Russian) KT-66's for use in my pair of Heath W5's. $35 a tube! Originals sell for $200+ a tube (UK). They sure do look real nice! I still have the original US Tungsol 5881's in use. I wonder if the Russian ones ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. So Roger: new production tubes from our old Cold War rivals. Can the Russians really make and sell quality tubes at such low prices? A quartet of 12AX7's for $18 (shipping free!). We did that ourselves back 50-60 years ago. But that was when US tu... | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? And the Thunderball soundtrack completed the trilogy! | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? My second LP purchase soon after was the Dr. No soundtrack - soon after seeing that movie! How about that Ursula Andress - hot! | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? Age 12 - bought the Goldfinger soundtrack after seeing the movie in 1964. Played and enjoyed it on a GE console stereo. What a hot cover! Now long gone! |
