| Fact or misinformation? No. I agree with all the other members that no harm will occur. I also use my mono switch with an old LP. It is sometimes amazing with a stereo cartridge. | |
| Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? I bought the Diamond 225 small bookshelf speakers because of his review. They sounded really good just like he said for the price. I now want to hear what Wharfdale has in a bigger box with that tweeter and midrange. It was so smooth, delicate and... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. I still have my ADS L1590 Tower speakers I purchased in the early 90s. Just had them refurbished completely. Amazedly the woofers needed nothing! | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Lot of great advice that is sound on here today. If it were me I also would get a different integrated. New ones are very good. I had an old 1976 Luxman I got attached to for almost 25 years and it hurt to let it go but it can be done. Not easy. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? A well known brand for sure. American made is great but not a deal breaker. We make very very good speakers in USA but you all know this. Matching the amp I have to the speakers, synergy is a must. If it is not smooth, efficient, non-distortion at... | |
| How to tame a bright system? I have the same problem in my system so I changed the preamp to the old ADVENT 300 until I can afford a Schitt Freya plus tube to smooth the top end. I use Mosfet amps like Adcom and B and K, etc.. so not there. It is hard to sell speakers you... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Everything has changed. I loved going into a store to hear good hi-fi. Not easy to do anymore. I like the suggestion we share our knowledge. I know exactly how my last four amps and speakers sounded together and the DAC I liked best, etc.. Maybe t... | |
| The smoothest amp you've heard? Luxman 1120A Receiver . Very smooth famous Luxman sound. Was updated with better caps and other inside. Nice power amp section. Made very well back in the day. | |
| How long do good speakers last? My audio life got real when I heard a pair of Montana speakers being driven correctly by a huge Threshold amp. It was in the 90s. Incredible sound. Someone on the forum tonight said they have Montana's. What a speaker! | |
| How long do good speakers last? I bought my ADS L1590 tower speakers in 1996. This year had a complete rebuild done including crossovers. They sounded perfect before I started the refurbish. I was being cautious for upcoming years. I liked the softer sound before the rebuild. No... | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? I second Macintosh and ADS. Could be great! | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences I am going to buy my new Wharfdale speakers from Music Direct. They carry the model I want and free shipping! I have had excellent results with Audio Advisory in past. Lots of purchases. You know, there are not many true mail order companies tha... | |
| My Experience With Tekton Glad you like your new speakers and the great sound they produce. I want to try a pair someday myself. I do not go by price but how the speaker will sound with the amp I am using at the time. If I ever get it right then it will most likely sound l... | |
| American Audio I used to love my Polk audio /Hafler amps and pre-amp rig. Smooth sounding and fun! | |
| American Audio I believe my system has a few American brands not seen on the list yet:ADS tower speakers (still excellent sounding )B&K Reference amp (very underrated )B&K sonata pre-amp (nice solid state)Advent 300 (still superb)Schitt switch and hea... |
