| Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long Get out your meditation mat, light some incense and start chanting! | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? +1 rvpiano for using the DQ 20's! A long time favorite of mine! I have a nicely restored pair of DQ 10's. The 10's and 20's are still competitive with today's speakers! | |
| Do I need higher quality power cords? +1 shadorne! AC cords are vastly overrated IMO! The only electricity that really matters is that coming out of your components' power supplies! | |
| B&K Sonata M200 + Polk Rti A9’s The Bryston 4B would be a good choice if it is in good shape and working without issues! Yes it is an old amp but it is built like a tank and can drive anything! I have its 30 year old brother, the 3B - still going strong! | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Sorry I didn't realize that the new 1200 comes in 3 versions! $4K seems high for the TOTL. But the 1200GR at $1700 is certainly more affordable - and should sell better! | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? The Technics 1200 is a fine TT! I have the mkII. They are worthy of a good cartridge! Nothing wrong with speed stability, either! I don't feel that the new version is worth its high price! | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Subjective impressions are the equivalent of "a little birdy told me it is so)!!! | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? Get a Crown XLS 1502. 500 + watts @ 4 ohms! $348!!! Even better would be a second one so you could biamp your Legacy's using the XLS's onboard crossover! The FUTURE of power amps has arrived!!! $348!!! | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! +1teo_audio! The new religion is the same as the old religion - to paraphrase a song by The Who (thank you Pete Townsend!). | |
| It really comes to something when a brand as iconic as Gibson Guitars cant stay afloat! @trelja Yes I know that Gibson and Epiphone are the same (US and Asia).I have a 2005 Gibson SG and an Epi Les Paul Special! The Epi LP is really nice, despite being made in Korea! | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? Absolutely not! Wire is just that - wire! IC's are simply signal conduits - they either work or don't work! They are not tone controls or equalizers! Save your money for something that really matters - like speakers! | |
| Used Korean Speakers The big Western Electric horns from the 1930's beat these by a mile! | |
| bose 501 speakers I considered adding a pair of 501's to my collection - but I already have too many vintage speakers! | |
| bose 501 speakers An interesting speaker that I heard only once back in 1975. Sounded quite impressive then! Maybe much better than the 901 (all those small drivers, ugh!). At least the 501 has a decent-sized woofer (10 inch) for bass! The two left and right angled... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! So, did somebody cry "Wolf"?!!! |
