| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used Thank you, John.Still here for another week. Not so cold where I'm going. Believe it or not, but Vancouver has a lot of palm trees. Not native, of course, but they survive well enough | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used @tom_hankins +1 on the Kubala-Sosna's if they can fit into the budget.Personally, I'd also listen to what @jmcgrogan2 recommends, as I trust his experience and judgment | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait Thank you for clarifyingBy the way, as you just celebrated the 50th anniversary of your presentation, you are WAAAYYYY older than I realized... | |
| What is the value of an old pair of 2 way Infinite Slope Speakers, Serial #015927 @roxy54 I doubt that anyone can identify them with a serial # without a model #"He's absolutely right.If you could describe the dimensions and the driver array, we could narrow things down, though the differences between adjacent models such as th... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @geoffkait "The fusible element is comprised of thick film gold that is deposited on a thermally and electrically insulated substrate. A complete range of fusing values is achievable by precisely controlling the fusible element print thickness ... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" @tubegroover +1Though VERY few achieve it, correctly siting the loudspeakers / coupling them to the room proves pivotal to the overall sound. Imaging, of course, but all facets of the sonic presentation.Like focusing a lens, it’s either perfectly ... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps In the process of downsizing, I just sold my pair of Quicksilvers. Lovely sound, the kind which all but a handful of Chinese product cannot approach. Apart from the need for avoiding brittle (JJ) 5AR4 rectifiers, never a hiccup. The dead simple... | |
| Grado Labs customer service. @oddiofyl Thank you for sharing this. You've shown that Grado Labs again proves making high quality audio products in America and backing them up doesn't need to cost top dollar | |

| Inexpensive Tube Amps @roberjerman, "Save your money and buy a REAL tube amp from Will Vincent (autospec)"I think that's a more than excellent way to go. Will's standard rebuilds are Dynaco ST70 restorations with upgraded parts and aesthetics. Considering how many of... | |
| Chinese products @recluse "Are all these products in fact the same? with the hope that someone will pay more for a variety of reasons?"No, they are not all the same. That said, many instances DO exist where the same product gets sold under different names, and di... | |
| Ess Company @jimess Thank you for starting this thread.My dad got a pair of AMT1 when I was a child, and I have them in my house here. We used to rock out pretty good with them. Really nice speakers at that time, but even better memories | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? @helomech, "Similar to Line Magnetic, there are plenty of gray market Cayin amps out there. Maybe your example is one of them?"Honestly, that's a flat out poor (but effective, so it seems) excuse some Chinese manufacturers and their North American... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? @jond Good eye there! You truly sussed it out | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? All right, something both salient and interesting to this conversation...I put an ad up this afternoon, and specifically chose 7/10 rating for this listing. After checking it when it went live, still 7/10. Tonight, come back home to give it anothe... |
