| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Buy the new 1500 wpc Rowland Demon for $20K and save big $! | |
| Converting cd's to high resolution audio There is NO way to get any more musical information off a 16/44.1 CD! ALL the musical data is locked in those pits and lands! It is a FALLACY to think that upsampling adds "more" musical information! IT DOES NOT! Only a higher bit rate/higher freq... | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? @geoffkait Removing the grills and dust covers makes them dandy flying bug killers! And don't forget the prying fingers of little kids! | |
| Technics SL-23 Tonearm wire. "Solder a small piece on and put a piece of hear shrink over it" - DO IT! | |
| Time for POT? previously owned tubes Here in 2018 used vintage tubes are still the best choices - and prices keep rising! | |
| Have You Ever Owned QUADS? I was aware for years of the Quad 57's superiority over the typical box speaker. Yet not until I heard a pair driven by a pair of Futterman H3AA's did I realize what I had been missing! Seamless coherency from top to bottom! I decided then and the... | |
| Crown XLS 1502.... real life test. Thank you roxy54 for your test and review! To quote an old Queen song "And another one bites the dust". | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? And in a two- cubic foot box they have quite satisfying bass - and high sensitivity, too! | |

Not as rare, but still sounding fine (and a lot cheaper!). An excellent DIY cho... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? Maybe McGyver will respond! He can make a good PC out of two straightened coat hangers! | |
| Cartridge replacment time Good for you Englebert! Happy listening and welcome to Audiogon! | |
| Feedback on Manley Lab Series 100 Monoblocks Ditto for a trip back to Manley. But might be expensive! | |
| From Four 12 inch Woofers To Eight 12 inch Woofers, Will I Get Deeper Bass Or More Bass? Just more bass! Not any lower! Eight 12's? Sell those hard-to-drive Kappas and get a pair of nicely restored Bozak Concert Grands - each has four 12's - total of 8 per pair! Rudy Bozak made some of the best speakers of the 50's and 60's! A man ahe... | |
| Tubes Audio Mirror PP1 Avoid imitation current production tubes.Nowhere near as good for sound quality and longevity as original NOS tubes! Even used vintage tubes are a better choice than fake Genelex, Mullard, Tung Sol ... | |
| Tubes Audio Mirror PP1 Try to find a pair of old NOS 12AU7's. Any from the 50's, 60's, 70's. GE, Sylvania, RCA's will work just fine! |
